One day last week Grandma Hunt,
mother of Mrs. Chas. Cox and Jesse
Hunt, of Jonesboro, while attempting
to dress herself, fell on the floor and
broke her hip; there is no hopes of her
recovery. as she is very old. Miss Mol.
lie Keener has returned home from
Limestone. Misses Lena Sanders and
Mamie Hickey, of johnson City, were
visiting friends in the valley during
holidays. Mrs. Neal and two children
were visiting Mrs. O'Brian Saturday
and Sunday. D. G. Keys has been on
the sick list the past week, but is now
convalescing. Mrs. Joe Archer has
been poorly for several days, but is
about well again, Misses Mary Beals
and Ethel Archer we're the guests of
Misses Mollie and Matte Keener a few
days ago. The school at Hales has
again opened. Mrs. j. II. Archer is

their work this Year, Teachers will
aid in sending in their monthly reports
promptly at the close of each month.
Be careful to give name, number of dis
trict and school on the reverse side of

TENTH DISTRICT.

We are having fine winter weather
and our farmers are taking advantage
OF 1T by turning the sod for their future
crops. Wheat and winter oats are look
ing we'll, and there is O large acreage
sown this year; and it is encouraging
to our farmers to see the rise in the
price of wheat. Now we think that
confidence is restored and times are 90.
ing to be prosperous to the farmers and
to the mechanic and all the people.
The health of our community is not
very good; it seems that everybody has
contracted cold and the result is la
grippe. Our schools in the Tenth Dis
trict are all doing well; at Oak Hill
there is a good school, and at Prince.
ton there is said to be the model school
OF the county; it is taught by Prof. E.
l.. Anderson and Miss Flora Crouch:
the schools at Union and Austin Spring
are doing well. w. A. Vaughn is at
home again from a visit in Hawkins
County. Now the holidays are about
over and winter half gone and no snow;
everybody has quoted themselves to
business, planning for the future.
