that Jesse was very muoh struck with

where we were spending the evening.
On this account think + will got
several free rides to Bennettsville.
Tho crops on the road and in our
neighborhood look pretty bilious, OK.

a better oat crop. I saw several fields
OF wheat that give promise of good
yields Corn looks very we'll; grass
vigorous and defiant, but in spite
all these adverse conditions I predict

and we always be.
There is general rejoicing here oy or
the capture Of "Big Jim" IF he ia not
hung by the neck we had better tear
down the court house aud plant the
land in long necked gourds.
Mr.. Black is here this a. m. to put
the iron front in Mr.. Henry Bennetts
brick drug store. The workmen will
begin in fow days a ten room mud

be like the frog in the fable that met
tho OK and tried to swell up as large
as the OK and ''busted." We are not
going to bust. Our Judge says we
have rs good OK material here as any
town he ever saw.
Our representatives, to the Reunion
in Memphis have about all returned
except Miss Pearl Edens, who will
tarry awhile in Mississippi to visit
relatives. One fellow who went told
me that he had never been of before
He said he didn't think the world was
that big. He actually said that they
have first Monday in Memphis every
day and he wondered why Jim David
didn't 60 there and sell horses and
things like he did in Bennettsville

yet who aro knitting socks for the sol
diers don't even know the war is over

them, and [ am certain he knows;
anyway he says he knows one young
man who is glad the Tennessee part
Of the program is over.
Mr.. j. A. Spears of your town has
just called to see me He seems very
surprised at the hustle and life here.
Mr.. Atkins is here again with his
racket. He is like bee little and
busy but loud and wide awake. say
he is wide awake because I see him
putting n nice piece of furniture on
his wagon to send home which he has
just purchased from j. III. Bennett.
That's all right. Our Judge says a
shrewd buyer always knows where to
get bargains. I used to when in doubt
about any certain thing "turn my cof-
fee cup and tote rabbit foot"
make cross mark and spit in it for
luck" Rui l have quit all that aud
now depend on the Judge who "would
Mt fool you no how" 80,
