Weather dry apd hot; late corn suf-
fering for rain. Warmers are greatly de-
iayed In preparing for fall crops. Quite
a number OF our~young folks, with a
sprinkling OF the older classes, attended
1amp meeting at Sulphur Springs on
last Saturday and Sunday all report
n pleasant time. Tom Radford, our
Deputy Sheriff, found a good coat along
the railroad neal here one day last week,
containing a good pistol, supposed to be-
long to II Of the section hands. Guess
Tom is that much ahead, as the owner is
not likely to call for II, as he might be
liable to have to appear before Judge
Campbell and establish his right TO
"tote" concealed weapons. A severe hail
storm occurred in this vicinity on last
Wednesday evening doing considerable
damage. Corn, tobacco, peach trees, ETC.,
were literally cut to pieces in Its path.
Our School Directors met on last Tues
day and employed the following teach
ers: Cash Hill, Miss Sallie Booth; May
berry, Miss Lon Butler; Dry Creek,
Monroe Denton. Hope this will be salts
factory to the patrons Of said schools. A
secondary school will be taught at Cash
Hill. On account of having recently
purchased Lamar Church building for
school purposes, they decided to have no
school at that point. This decision gives
pretty general dissatisfaction to the pa
irons Of that school, and the matter will
likely be carried into court as to the le-
gal right of dispensing with a school ut
the most central and thickly settled por-
ton Of the district. 1t is pretty generally
thought that the directors are violating
the law by 30 doing, and IL such is the
fact, an effort will be made to make
them right the wrong. A disagreement
among the road commissioners and mag
istrates Of the Fourth and Eighth Dis
tricts has occurred as on what points the
recent appropriation Of four hundred
dollars shall be expended. While thoy
were c%ontending over the bone, the
magistrates OF the Fifteenth District
notified our Chairman Of the County
Court to not pay it out to either party.
They propose to have 1t used near town.
Thus we have another story of the cats,
cheese and monkey. Drummers have
been as thick as mosquitoes in Florida
In this section the past few days. Our
merchants have laid in their fall stock
of goods. w. II. Jones has again been
brought to the point Of death. He is
very low, but ut this writing is resting
easier. A Mr.. Roberts, late OF Johnson
County, living here, had a severe attack
of something akin to sporhadic cholera
last week and came neal dying,
but is now on the fair road to recovery.
There has been considerable sickness
throughout this locality recently, chiefly
bowel troubles. Glad to see hat "Cousin
Flo's" time is not out, Happy to find
her still on the stage of action, and
hope she will come often and give us NIL
the news from her section where we
used to live, also we would be glad To
have her pay our neighhorhood q visit
and find out something about the people
who live oyer here In Gods country
Rev. ], II. Moore preached q good SER
mon at Cash Hill Sunday evening to d
good sized audience, Bro, Moore can
always get o congregation out to hear
him, J.J. Barron has so far recovered
from his long siege Of illness as to be
able to walk and ride around. The work
on the bridge has been slightly retarded
