Prof. Logan D. Howell, of New
York, and mother Mrs. r. P. How

were glad to see them.
On finding an egg while a hen
was being dressed for dinner our
youngest numerous offspring could
not understand how the hen manag-
ed to swallow the egg without break
ing it..
It was no fault of ours that there
was no Walter letter last week. It
was mailed in ample time and the
Post Office Department is respon-
sible for its taking it two days and
half to reach your city.
Misses.Nancy and Deli Sherard,
from the Salem section, attended
church here Sunday, and were guests
at coax Glenn" where their graces
of charm and manner added much
pleasure.
The announcement of the marriage
of Mr.. Winston Wells and Miss
Hettie Smith to take place April 9
at Ebenezer at 1880 p. M, was made
last Sunday. They have many
friends who wish them much happi-
ness.
We have a never falling remedy
for keeping chickens out of the gar
den. It is given for the benefit Of
those who are annoyed by having
them scratching up everything on
the premises but the well. That is
to cut off their tails right close be-
hind the ears. Or if your wife is a
good marksman get her to throw a
rock at them. Either works well at
our house, and we are not as much
annoyed at present as we have been.
We learn that an enterprising Wo-
man, who was noted for her economy
mixed saW-dust with the meal she
fed her chickens, and found that
they were equally as thrifty. Some
! time after she set hen and in the
| regular course of time she Matched
! eleven wooden-legged chickens and
one sap-sucker. For further particu-
! lars we refer you to our good friend
! and neighbor Mr.. Jno. E. Smith,
who will no doubt, take pleasure in
giving full particulars.
| AS a general thing when a woman
throws a rock the object aimed at is
not in half as much danger as any
thing else within range. But not sc
with our better half, as an evidence
of which there is one less hen tx
scratch our garden. In getting th'
chickens out of the garden she threw
a small rock at a fine hen and strik
ing her on the head, killed her in
stantly. We had a fine stew, ant
Mrs. K said she would not hav,
hated it so bad had not the hen beel
laying 20 cent eggs.
: The latest enterprise in our com
munity is the mill which is now be
ing placed justwest of coax Glenn.
Mr.. III. D. Wells, practical ma
chinist of thirty years experience
will have charge of it, and will man
) ufacture lumber at prices as reason
t able as possible, and also gin cottol
/ with an up-to-date outfit during tn
cotton season. If. nothing prevents
: it will be ready for operation b,
: April 1st, and those wanting lum
Der may get their timber ready, a
9sfirst come, first served.''
The death of Mrs. Jennie Crockel
: the estimable wife ofour good frien
Mr.. Joe Croker, occurred at the
