! Our time has been occupied for the
past three weeks in trying 10 take care
OF the sick, consequently we had nc
time for "chipping."
! Some work has already been done In
/ the line of horticulture.
| There has been but very little guanc
hauled so far. There is no question
but what there will be quite u rcduc.
tion in the use of tho stun in our com
munity this year.
Rev. {. Il. Boozcr spent Saturday
night. - instant. with us. Rev.
Boozcr l. good company. We always
like to have him with us. He is Il
man with broad mind aud it well cul
tlvatcd. In fact, he's just one of those
good: plain, sound, logical men who
may be depended upon. and if those
Saludaitcs need sood piece Of lcgisla-
tive timber, we sec no need of picking
around Rev. Boozer: aud if Suludn
don't need him VIC hope they will Just
send him over to Ncwbcrry.
SUCH IN epidemic OF colds, grip and
pneumonia that We have had in our
community for the past month has
never been known before. Mrs. H. II.
Epps has just recovered from an attack
ofgrip. Mr.. and Mrs. s A. Rikurd have
been critically i'll with pneumonia for
The pi st three weeks, but ate now on
the mcnd. Mr.. and Mr.; j. j. Gurlman
are recovering from Il severe case Of
pneumonia, Of which the latter has
been seriously stricken. Old Miss
Rachel Griffin, better known as "Aunt
Rach," is now very low with pneumo-
MIA; not expected to live.
MIR. and Mrs. John &. Wickcr's lit
tic infant child died of pneumonia the
18th Instant, aged seven weeks. The
little body was laid to rest in Bachman
hapcl graveyard on the day following
its death. Christ says the kingdom Of
heaven is composed of such little ones,
therefore we say to the parents. weep
not.
Another one OF Mr.. Wickcr's chill
klrcn has just recovered from IN attack
Of pneumonia.
Mrs. Amanda Bridges is recovering
from quite Il severe attack pneumonia.
MIR. Honor Troutman is critically i'll
with consumption and not expected to
live.
On the first instant, by the way Of Il
mishap, our aged mother received Il
fall, Of which she has been suffering cx-
tensivc pain ever since.
Besides all these Affections, Mr.. Edi-
tor, old man Chips has been coopcd up
for few days and all the company he
has had is to cough, sncczc and snilllc.
but we must not antagonizc the COM
fort of the public by expressions of our
aches and pains.
When we made mention Of the mov-
crs in our burg we skipped the name of
our friend w. ID. Halfacrc. He pur-
chased the old Marett place near ST.
Philips church from DR.. Halracrc,
containing 2O2 acres, and moved from
his old homo place near Cunnon's creek
to his new home. Will is II strrcr and
he's not to be backed down by five cents
cotton. He always lives at home and
boards at the same place.
We'll, Kay, You told old man Chips
not long since that when he cot in the
tights and you could get Il little more
leisure that You would pay him back in
fun, SO / see that you have verified
your promise. On account of sickness
at home and sickness abroad We have
hardly had time to turn around for the
past month, and i'm the midst of your
blessings you have taken advantage of
poor old Chips misfortuncs and hit
him three licks before he has had u
chance to rctuliatr, but yon must re-
member, old bud, that the third lip is
out, and we give special thanks unto
whom thanks is due that we are now
able to hold up our head and have a
little say. Kay, you wanted 20 know
how we stood, or at least who WAS our
choice for Governor. 1t is rather soon
to start up this subject. so We are
neither betting nor guessing on the gu
bernat0riul race. We thought that we
would let the fellows snort around q
little while before we made our sclcc-
tion, but you are still not satisfied
Here you como trying to drag MS out on
the legislators. You know that We
have been mute in this matter. We
have seen nothing to scare over, there
fore we Thought it. would simply be
cruel to jump on the boys and scour
them around while they we're trying to
pick up little campaign food. But
say, look here, ha-hu-ha! what did |
tell You about the repeal Of the lien
law? Old Chips Is no Solomon, nor he
don't claim to be II prognosticator, but
he can see about as far into milestone
as the man that picked the rock. ] am
ready now to let tho matter come lust
as | said it would before the people
then will blow my horn, if live, Just
according TO my Own C0nviCti0ns--lct il
be the popular or unpopular side OF tho
