And it still rains. One farmer has
just asked me to write something this
week to cheer him up. The best romo.
dy that | cnn give to meet the sitna-
tion right now is "early to bed and
early to rsse." The first thing on ari.
sing is to get hold Of goose neck hoo
by the small end and keep hold on
it until the dinner bells rings, aud
right after dinner take double dose.
1fthat doesn't have the desired effect
repeat the dose next morning, and
keep on repeating until that tired
feeling and that green complexion in
the cotton patch has gone. This is
what the medical fraternity calls he
roic treatment. But this is the only
BALM in Gilead that know Of. I
know from experience that it is pow.
erful bad medicine.
I see W.J Coyington here with
box Of crawlish. He says he canght
them in a neighbours cotton patch on
high ridge. That sounds like somo-
body's name is s'mud "4
One fellow told me that he wa,
coming up the hill at the Red Bluff
mills in a cart the other day and had
bis cart gate of and it rained his cart
body full of water before be could get
to the top Of the hill. I didn't tell him
| believed this, but our Judge says it
was 80 because he was with him and
seW-it.
Several Of our people have gone 10
Memphis. Among the number Mr.. A..
L. Calhoun ST., Miss Tennessee Cal.
lioun goes as sponsor, Miss Pearl Edens

our Tennessee people will think that
we have a very pretty representation.
If they don't the:o Is some young men
here who does. Already they are say.
ing when will the reunion be over. l
don't know why they do this but they
do.
RIG. Stone and f. H. Ivey left
for Memphis this a. m. These reunions
are q grand thing, especially at din
ner tue. was invited to one the
other day. Mrs. w. G. Stanton had a
reunion Of her children and grand
children. got an invitation and you
bet | went. I eat chicken that was
baked, and chicken that was not bak-
ed; Ham and other good things that
often dream about but seldom ever
see. I wish another one of her boys
would come home and celebrate. II
Sheriff Green and Judge McLaurin
could have been there my cup would
have run over with envy. I believe in
"the world do more theory"
I have just been told that the Nc.
Coll Hardware Co., has bought out our
home folks in the Hardware business
and will open up a branch house here.
Who blames the McColl people from
wantinfi to como to a live town to do
business? Every body will give them
q cordial welcome and a fare share
of the trade.
MIR. j. Howard Bennett has sold
two car loads Of mowers and self Bind
ing Reapers and is expecting two more
cars to night. Our Judge says they

That same young man from Win
sion IS here again. | guess he is after
a fall hat this time, or photograph
one. heard young chap say he
would take his picture on a brick bat
if ne didn't go north right soon.
Our town sympathises with Mr.. and
Mrs Will Carter in the loss Of their
little babe. 1t was buried at Hebron
on Friday.
The sun is shining brightly this a.
M, the farmers are putting on new
lite; everything will come out right
if we will on wait and trust in all
wise providence. There will be good
crop made. Cotton will bring good
price; the us. Senate will meet as
usual; Christmas will come again
there will be just as much mean corn
liquor bought; Just as many tin horses
and horns sold; just as many little
stockings with hole in the heel hung
up as usual and they will all be filled
too. Some OF the good women are
keeping the little turkeys out of the
rain and we can all have our usual
old tough gobler for dinner just as we
always have.
Let every body quit grumbling apd
make hay while the sun shines, and
catch crawfish if they .can. I think I
will get up shooting match for my
garden at ten cents shot and throw
in the grass. Any one who wants a
chance let me know at once or I will
plow it up and set it out in "taters.''
