Liberty is still on deck attending to her
own business so to speak. There is q de-
mand for house room here yet and the
mum OF the saw mill and plancr is heard
in the land. The carpenters hammer and
saw arc loudly ringing, thus showing that
this is no finished town.
Our merchants are quietly taking in
their share of the trade.
Ihere'haS been more cotton sold here
this season than ever before. The pco-
pie elected tlc cotton wcighcr too, you
must remember
Our farmers arc pushing ahead with
their farm work. 1t seems tha there has
Dcen an unusual amount Of fertilizer
sold hero thslscaSon, and the people have
already found out that the cotton seed
meal made at the Liberty Oh Mill Is the
finest to be had in The upocountry.
Peach blooms have appeared for the
past ten days.
We can hear heavy reports Of blasting
on each side OF us.--at the nnNorris Cotton
Mil on one side, and aL the Beverly
Rock Works on the other side. This Is
truly progressive age. With steam and
electric diamond poi,tcd drills and dyna-
mite more rock can be torn uD i'm a day
than our fathers could tear up by the old
hand drip and powder in six months or
year, perhaps.
