ONAME.

KEDRoN, Sept. l4.-It is very dry here,
as it has been nearly two months since
it rained, but crops are better than
would be expected.
Last week wagon and team going at
a rapid gait ran over Mr.. Sam Mills
horse, catching the animal in the wheels
of the wagon and dragging him about
fifty yards, causing the horses death.
J.J. Martins fine saddle horse got
badly hurt last week on fence.
The ground is dry and hard, and it
doesn't look like it would cave in, but
Mr.. Ewing Smith, while riding on the
premises of Mr.. Charley White, was sur
prised to find his horse sinking fastly
IN the ground. Fortunately, Mr. Smith
and his steed were not hurt much. His
horse was priced out with poles.
They are boring the fourth well at Mt.
Lebanon, the last one being 1875 feet
deep, and still boring. Water is much
needed at that place, and we hope they
will succeed in finding a plenty.
There is good deal of chills and fever
here.
Mr.. William Parks has purchased the
Col. II. f. Smith farm and has taken
charge of the premises.
Miss Lucy Pope, who has been visit
ing friends and relatives in Texas and
other places for some time, has returned
home for a short stay.
Ernest w. Smith, of Nashville, after
several weeks visit to friends and rela-
tives here, has returned to the city.
Mrs. NJ. Shirley, of Brownville, Tenn,
who has been visiting friends and rela-
tives here for some time, has returned
home.
Mrs. Walter Moore, of Nashville, is
visiting friends and relatives here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Hardison and Misses
Laura, Ella and Minnie Derry berry,
were the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Andrews last week.
Mr.. Mack Blair is expected to go to
Chicago in few days to engage in the
machine business.
With a "bushel of thanks" to our
kind-hearted editor for an enjoyable
trip to the great and only HERALD
Reunion and the Centennial, and with
my hat in the air to each and every cor
respondent, remain, as ever, the same
old SIFTINGs.
