now from high water.
Last Sunday was children's day at
the NJ Z. church and although the
morning dawned with a heavy fog
and by 10 O'Clock the elements were
thick with heavy clouds ard a slow
rain fell from then TIL p. m. Despite
the inclement weather a large crowd
gathered and the program was car
ried out well. Especial praise is due
the little girls who 80 sweetiy spsSe
their different pieces. Everything
passed on nicely and much credit Is
due Bro. 8. w. Berry. who Is respon.
sIble for the success Of the whole AZ
fair.
The farmers around this place are
very much down in the mouth. After
planting cotton three times they failed
20 get a stand and every one Of them
now has a good old case OF blues"
Some Of them are going to plant the
ostton land in corn. some viii let It
lay out. The merchants are consid-
erably worried. Those who are doing
a credit business can see nothing
ahead 10 continue furnishing the un-
fortunate farmers. and there Is no
doubt but what great portion OF them
will have to look elsewhere for sup
plies 20 finish their crops. Things
look tough just at this time, but we
ought 10 be thankful Il Is no worse

There is much talk now Of the old
town OF White Bead being moved TO
the railroad just three-quarters OF a
mile north OF here. The railroad laid
out a siding and John Garvin will sell
or give away a few lots to get the
new town started Much interest is
manifested In the matter. and It will
probably not be long TIL White Bead
will be right on the railroad. The
postofice department is using IT'S In.
nuence In that direction. AS II Is now
The postoffice department pays S14O
per annum for a carrier to bring the
mail from the railroad up 10 the old
town. and the first house that Is built
on the new site will get the post
Office All the citizens with the excep
ton OF few are heartily In favor
OF the move. The chances now are
that in two more years at the outsld,
tho present town of White Bead will
be a blooming cotton patch or
thriving corn field. Let IL come a,
quickly as possible
The writer has been informed tha
company composed of three verl
wealthy men will soon open a genera
