Passing over the many and varied
happenings here since our last writing,
we will begin with just mentioning the
picket fence that was put up here re-
Gently, adding much to the dwelling
enclosed therein.
AS yet we've heard no complaint on
account of bad stands Of cotton OF
corn, both of which are ready for work.
The grass, too, is in evidence and
abundance, and promises to make it
very interesting for a number Of the
farmers. Not much of the bottom
lands have been planted yet, on ac-
count of the continuous rains. We
passed through w. T. McGee's farm
some time ago and noticed that his
bottoms had been bedded with a 40
inch Oliver Chill, and later when we
mentioned the fact to him he said that
he sent the boys down there to plough
them and finding them too wet con-
cluded to hang them up to dry. W. L.
is hustler anyway you start him.
G. C. Price and family, from Hart
well, are here spending awhile under
the parental roof.
w. T. Baskins, Of Bordeaux, is here
visiting the families of Tennent and
Mitchell.
Mallie Hutchinson, from the Ridge,
came up last Saturday in much style
new buggy, new harness, new suitand
new driver. Who will offer a ex-
planation Young Cupid did you sayg
Cupid is of all ages he never dies. He
is the oldest, the youngest, the gravest,
the gayest, the most irresponsible OF
rascals, and one never knows what
pranks he will be committing next.
Cupid has been in Rockbranch, Ca,
and has accomplished one of his most
bewildering feats in causing the mar
riage Of man just "a years old to a
young maid OF 81. The hero of this
tale is Mug Belcher. The lady was
Mrs. Mary Lewis and is now Mrs.
Belcher, and the Two are spending us
happy a honeymoon together as it
their respective ages were devided by
4. Both bridegroom and bride had
been married before, Mr.. Belcher 3
times, in fact, and there was no hitch
in the proceedings, save the old mule
that was hitched to the buggy in which
they sat while the words were being
said by our Rev. ]. T. Morgan just in
front of his residence on Sunday, April
90, 1899.
Mr.. and Mrs. d. M. Martin were visit
ing at Antreville last week.
Some of our young folks have been
attending the Kinard meeting at Iva
during the past week, and rumor says
they are going to get married before
long, and if they do we will tell you all
about.
We are well. PEDRO.
