Merry, merry times with the poor far
mers once more as everybody in this
fair view are through with their crops for
the hot months. and the crops are look
ing as fine as can be, better for the time
of year than has been known for many
years.
A few of the people near this place
attended the old soldiers reunion at At
lanta two weeks ago. Some report nice
time while others did not enjoy it so very
much. 1t cost them more money than
they expected. Friend, when you want
to see everything and have a big time
you must not forget tt that pocket-bo
and something in 1t on such occasions as
that.
Visiting in and out of this fair view
seems to be the work of erybody.
Nothing is more enjoyable than to visit
around with good friends and talk of the
present and long past time that has gone
TO never return again.
Mrs. Alice Anderson. of near Latimer
Station, formerly of this community, and
one of our best and we'll appreciated
neighbors, has been for the past two
weeks visiting her relatives and many
friends of our community.
Miss Jennie Daniel, one of Lowndes-
ville's beautiful young ladies, who has
been spending the past three weeks with
her sister. Mrs. James Hall, of this place,
has returned home.
Mr.. Basil Alewine, accompanied by his
sister, Mrs. Sallie Hall, visited their sick
brother, Mr.. Monroe Alewine, near An
treville, last Saturday week. He has had
the fever and has been confined to his
bed for the past month, but glad to hear
that be is improving and up and about.
Mrs. Maggie Gray, of Moscow, visited
her relatives in and around the quarter
last week.
There are more deaths and sickness in
and near this place and nearly every
where than. we ever heard of be-
fore. This community always has been
blessed with good and enjoyable health
until recently. We have lost some of our
best friends, and it seems as if we will
have to witness more, provided we should
be alive ourselves, and those who are not
sick are grunting powerful at times.
Well, Mr.. Editor, we have but few wa
termelons at the present time, but it is
almost leisure time and we will have to
make raid on some one else and pro-
tracted meetings and pic MICS, union
meetings, reunions, etc, and what a
glorious time we are expecting to have
now soon.
Misses Daisy and bessie Blackman,
two of our charming and prettiest young
ladies, spent Tuesday night of last week
with their relatives, Mr.. and Mrs. T. A.
Hall.
He who is ashamed of his friend is
faithful friend to be ashamed of.
think the nearby church members cf
this place are neglecting their duty
towards keeping the doors and windows
fastened Any one can pass any time of
day or night and find the doors wide open
and windows up, and that is the reason
their organ is in such bad condition. /
think if Mr.. McGee knew the condition
it is kept in he would make some new
arrangements.
The protracted meeting will commence,
at this place next third Sunday. Let
verybody prepare for it and let US live
better in the balance Of our days and not
be. summer Christians and winter devils.
The pic mic at Carswell Institute last
Friday was a most enjoyable one with
the young people, but not so very much
with the old students and to the ones that
went principally to hear the speaking, as
there were no speakers there. But that
did not make any difference with US, as
we all were secret speakers, and what
time we can not begin to tell. And now
we are expecting to have another big
time at the same place on August 10th.
It will not fool you. DITTo.
