CHERRY GROVE.


The writer made a flying business
trip to the quiet little village of Fall
Branch. the 18th, and we seen some
hne helds of wheat and oats v hich arc
rlpeniDg nice; this week the hum and
clatter OF the reaper and the merry veil
OF the harvest hands will be heard and
many will be the golden sheaf that will
be gathered into the shock; in many
instances the old scythe and cradle
Will be brought from his past years
hiding place and the rust ground from
his keen edge and he will still play an
important part in saving the golden
grain. A thought here drifts us back
into the early history of our country
when the grain cradle and harvest ma
chine was thought to be if thought of
at all, MS an utter imposibility, and the
old reap hook was king of the grain
field, what a contrast in the past cen.
fury and today, and the lex one hun
dred years will develop as great or a
greater change. We noticed thatProf.
L. N. Hale is framing an addition to
his barn. We notice that between this
point and Fall Branch the post are be-
ing hauled along the road for the tele-
phone line, which we learn will extend
az present as far down as Harrison
Haws' farm, on Horse Creek; we hope
to see this line soon completed, then
Jonesboro can disturb the quietude of
Fall Branch by saying hello to her.
