News from Old Reeky River.

The rain, rain, rain we have had for
the past month, and cloudy weather
when not raining.
The farmers are thoroughly rested
and the feecy fields are ready for us
and oh! how we will grunt with our
poor backs.
Pic MICS, reunions and protracted
meetings are about over with us for
awhile, and what jolly time we have
been having.
The protracted meeting closed at this
place the fourth Saturday, only two
having Joined. 1t seems as If the
members did not want to take any in
terest in it until it had to close. |
think this community has as many
sleepy and drowsy members in it as
any place in this country. twill COM
mence again Friday night before the
tt,,;rd Sunday in this month and con-
tinue until Monday if not longer.
Miss Nettie Cowan, one of Mohawk's
finest and brightest gems, has been
spending few days in this fairview
with relatives and special friends. We
are always glad to welcome such visi-
tors in our community. Miss Alice
Hall, of Greenville, is also visiting in

ing.
Some Of our young people attended
the protracted meeting atIva last week
and report it a successful meeting,
especially going and coming.
The renters are seeking places for
another year, and it is strange that
cotton is down and rent is going high
er. Many places that rented for a
thousand pounds for one horse farm
this year, will cost fifteen hundred for
the same amount another year. 1t is
ridiculous to think Of such. 1t will
push a poor man to pay expenses, and
nothing but these one-horse negroes is
the cause, and no man will ever get to
heaven that will charge fifteen hundred
pounds for twenty-five or thirty acres
of land unless the place is we'll i'm
proved and is we'll worth it.
I wonder again if our Big Springs
correspondent of the INrELLIGENcER is
love sick OF went estray. Come again.
Two of our old bachelors took trip
some few Sundays ago and had to come
home that night without dinner or sup
per. Say, young men, the next time
you GO to that place be sure and not
forget a biscuit that morning, and
watermelon is better than nothing.
The past two months we have seen
more rain fall than ever before at the
time of year, and now the chronic
grumbler is sitting in the corner
grumbling of so much rair, but that is
new. lis rainor shine all the
same.
Some of our near by neighbors will
leave us this fall. We are always
sorry to see any of our good neighbors
move from us, and in such a case as
this it is much more sorTowful.
Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Cam and little
grandson spent a day or two last week
with relatives in the Nation.
Miss Nettie Cowan and Mrs. j. j.
Galley visited the family of Mr.. P. B.

and family, Mr. w. P. Hall, OF near
Dean station.

young ladies, spent the evening with
Mr.. j. X. Hall and family last Friday

If any young OF old lady desires
sweetheart from the age Of fifteen to
twenty five we can furnish either kind,
ugly or good looking, and we have some
few of thirty we will offer, and we
will be glad to fill an order for any one.
When delayed, we must expect
punishment the more terrible when it
does finally come. More heavy will be
the lashings of conscience and greater
the atfliction of His hands if we despise
in the day Of our manifold opportuni
ties the riches of His goodness and for
bearance and long sufferings. When
the devil gets man in the habit of
drinking whiskey he is sure that he
can get him to do most any mean thing.
We will close for this time with our
best wishes to the dear old INTELLI-
and its many readers.
DITTO.
Death of Mrs. Ella McAlister.
