goon paper.
After so much rain, farmers have at
last gotten the hulk of their crops un-
der way, and are progressing finely with
their work. The wheat and oat crops
lOok promising, and an abundant yield
of both will be gladly welcomed, as
"food-stutfs" for man and beast are
scarce.
The finny tribe in the classic Duck is
being hunted pretty closely with hook
pole and TROLL by the fishermen of
our section, so that the willy trout and
lubberly cat must ever be on the alert
to evade their clutches.
After July the list we will have a mail
line running directly every day from
Rally Hill to Columbia and return,
which will be a great convenience to
our section in the way of news from
abroad, as well as at home. We already
have telephone connection with your
city, which is a convenience now that
our people could hardly dispense with.
Our candidates for Assessor are fear
full that the next census will run the
population of Maury to $4,000, in which
case they will have to withdraw, as the
late law in that case allows only one
assessor for the county.
Mr.. w. l.. Wallace, of Lewis burg, was
over the past week with his family, at
Mr., Cal Hardison's, and with hook and
pole was trying to eutice some of the
tinny tribe from the waters of Duck, but
did not meet with great success. as re-
ported. Mr.. Wallace, after his Florida
trip, is reported somewhat improved.
The merchants of our section report
that they are all doing u living business
and there are six stores from the Will
Hanson county line to Hardison's Mills
on the old Franklin and Lewisburg
pike, n distance of seven miles.
Elder Wilburn Derryberry preached
last sunday at Old Lasea to an attentive
audience.
Last Saturday and Sunday, Rev. Mr.,
Brown held protracted meeting al
Bethlehem church, and the Rev. John
Royal Harris of Lewisburg was to have
assisted him, but &c was called by tele-
phone Saturday evening to Giles coun-
ty to the bed OF his dying mother. A
large crowd was in attendance on Sun
day, it being com munion day.
Elder Derry berry on last Sunday even.
ing met with his old classes, and had
some vocal music at the church.

Bro. A. G. Williams, of Rally Hill,
preached very interesting discourse
here Sunday.
Miss Myrtle Moore returned home
from school Saturday.
On last Sunday night there was
singing at this place which was largely
attended by the young people. we
will make another attempt on the nrst
Sunday afternoon in June.
Mr. j. T.. Derryberry Is spending
few DAYS with his daughter, Mrs D. D.

Several from this place heard the
Mormon Elders at Nicholson's scnool
house SUNDAY afternoon.
ED. II. A. Gray will preach at smyrna

We understand that there Is to be
marriage some time in the near 1uture,
but perhaps "Dew Drop" will tell US
more about it
Lases is crowded with candidates
now. When you get lila speaking as
lance of gentleman, you must prepare
TO shake hands with him, as he is very
apt tn be one of them.
Well, as news is scarce we Will close,
hoping to do better next time.
