~ Ia hACAp were very BUSY
gathering corn and digging pota-
toes last week. Picking Gotten will
soon be a thing of the past III this
section of the country.
} Il Wylie received letter from
his sister who lives in Arkansas
stating that crops out there is al
most all entire failure on account
of dry weather. There has not
been any rain out there since last
April to amount to anything, and
stock is suffering for water, and
the people have to haul their using
water for miles And yet some
people are almost crazy to 90 to
Arkansas. One of the richest
blessings that a person can eniov
is to live in the good old state of
Georgia, where we have plenty of
rain to make the crop, have good
health, work, hard and have good,
pure water to quench our thirst in
the heat of the summer. Now let
all those read this who have the
least idea of going to that country.
Just take dose of an eight months
drought and one of hauling wood
for miles and put them in a glass
Of water and stir them well and
swallow just before bed time, and
| think that you will wake up next
morning with a more contented
mind. -s
Some of our farmers have sowed
some oats. f.4-t "a
One of our successful farmers
says that he has peach tree that
has SO many peas on it that it is
breaking the tree down.
The people will have to be forced
by low prices Of cotton, to plant
more corn, SOW more wheat and
raise their own meat at home.
Nothing short of this will ever re-
duce the cotton crop.
There was dance at Joe Fowl
ers few nights ago and all that
could be heard was:
Salute your pardners, let her go.
Balance all and do-se-do,
Swing your girls and run away,
Right and left and gents sashay.
Gents to right and swing or cheat,
On to next gal and repent,
Balance next and don't ne shy.
Swing your pard and swing her high.
Bunch the gals and circle round,
Watch your feet until they bound,
Form basket break away,
Swing and kiss and all get gay.
All men left and balance all,
Lift your hOofs and let them fall
Back to pardners do-se-dO,
All join hands ard off you go,
Gents, salute your little sweets,
Hitch and promenade to your seats.

Emma Garner, of Atlanta, who

Hope she may continue to improve.

Notwithstanding all this, he sold
1880 worth of trees Thursday
