d. G. Handy is wearing the
eighth smile of his life, on ac-
count of a bran new baby girl at
his house.
B.s4. Frey, superintendent of
the Sabbath school of New Hope.
says that he wants to resign the
superintendency and put it on
some one else. Now, brother,
just stay in Tie office where we
have put you and we will be salts
fled. Don't try to throw the. har-
Less off.
There will not be many turnips
i'll this section this winter, as the
farmers have planted twice and
haven't a half stand yet. The
turnip fly destroys them as soon
as they come up. A few, howev-
er, have nice patches.
Died.-Last Thursday at II
O'Clock the immortal soul of Mrs.
Ann Baswell winged it's flight to
those realms of bliss above. She
was a member of the Baptist
church at Smyrna and was al
ways ready to lend a helping
hand to the church. The funeral
services were conducted at her
home at Mr.. Ben Baswell's near
Bold Springs, by Rev. Mr.. Nor
gan, pastor of the Baptist church
at Smyrna. The pail bearers
we're Pink Daniel, of Smyrna.
B. 7. Frey, of Marietta, A. A.
Mayes, D. B. Henderson and Goss
Thomas, of this place, and James
Butler, of Bold Springs. Her re-
mains lie in the cemetery at Sar-
dis to await the resurrection
morn. She was the last one of
the family. Her father, mother
brothers and sisters are all dead.
Now for the circuses. They al
ways come in the fall when they
think the people have little
more money and that they will
get it. No doubt but there are
lots of people that will live on
half rations a week before the Cir
Gus comes and then live on half
rations week after it is gone, and
make the merchant wait on them
for what they owe him, in order
to get a dollar to pay their way
into the show. If the people
we're all like Beulah, the show
men would have to dig the dirt
for a living. Now, this is only
my opinion of the shows, but
everybody to their own opinion.
w. M. Frey has wheat clean
er, with which he cleans his seed
wheat. 1t takes out all of the
faulty wheat and the cracked
grains, and leaves nothing but
good wheat seed. 1t would pay
anybody to have their seed wheat
cleaned before planting, and thus
SOW only pure wheat.
Mrs. Josie Frey, wife of B. T.
Frey, visited her sick sister in At
lanta last week.
Mrs. M. E. Bailey, who was
called to the bedside of her sick
son, Afford Bailey, at Meridian,
Miss, returned home last week,
bringing her son with her. He
is very feeble yet, but we hope he
will soon be we'll again.
We learn that John Segars, of
Smyrna, has bought the Reynolds
farm, near Smyrna, paying $4OO
for the same.
Little Coy Reed is still suffer-
ing great deal of pain from that
burn with hot grease. Several
pieces of flesh have dropped off of
his arm, some pieces being as
large as ones finger. His arm is
almost solid sore. He is some
better.
Ben Baswell, of Bold Springs,
has bought Jap Gantt's place at
Cross Roads, near Sardis, for
which he paid $500. Mr.. Bas-
we'll will move there as socn as
circumstances will permit.
BEULAH.
