CORRESPONDENCE.

Spring is nearly with us again,
and we feel thankful that we have
been permitted to pull through the
winter, with our old clothes. Glad
to get out again aud enjoy the sun
shine and inhale the fragrant flow
ers.
Ivey, the seven year old daughter
of NJ. T. Polk, died at Fulton, KY,
last Thursday. The remains were
brought to Hardeman County and
buried at Walnut Grove. Mr.. Polk
has many friends and relatives in
this county.
John L. Marsh and family, of
Shandy, have moved into town and
expect to make this their future
home. Mr.. Marsh is stirring, up
to-date man aud we are proud to
welcome him aud his family.
j. M. Wyatt, of Chester County,
formerly of Hardeman, has bought
out John w. Walkers stock of dry
goods. He has moved his family
to this place. He seems to be a
good business man and will doubt
less succeed.
q. S. and q. w. Fawcett, who
are building a residence for Mrs.

Asylum, were at home Sunday.

People are behind very much
with all kinds of work. especially
sowing oats and gardening.
Some cotton in town last week
and the dirty staple sold very low,
bringing from two and half to
six cents. l think most of it has
been picked. Trust they will learn
a lesson, and raise more hog and
hOminy and less cotton. b.

AT the July term. 1898. o

AT the July term, 1898, of
Quarterly Court, committees
were appointed to have the
levees on the Bolivar and
jackson and the Bolivar and
Statler Ferry roads repaired.
The amount expended on the
former was $3,745.O7, on the
latter S722.02, making Il total
of 4,467. 90. At present,
these levees are said to be III
an almost impossible cOndi-
ton. The committees who
had charge of this work last
year no doubt did the best
they could under the circum-
stances; but the the work was
commenced too late in the
season, the dirt was not Civ
en- sufficient time to pack be-
fore the winter rains and
freezes. Another eXpendi=
ture of money will be neces-
sary to repair them, and this
is a matter that should be
considered at the April term
of Quarterly Court. Levees
and bridges cost the tax pay
ers of Hardeman County
thousands of dollars annual
". When the money is ap=
prOpriated, it should be used
to the best advantage. There
is a time for building levees,
as we'll as everything else,
and that time is not mid
summer.
