There were two pic-nics in our
community last week. One at Coor's
Mill OF Friday, given by the neigh
borhood, and q at Spring Hill Sat
urday, given by the Sunday School.
There was a large crowd in attend

The low price of peas has proven a
blessing in disguise to the farmers.
The consequence is, there has been a
large increase in the acreage of peas,
planted in corn, and also on stubble
land for hay, which means better
stock and less buying of baled hay
next.year.
The season of rain last night will
improve all crops, and especially
corn, which was beginning to suffer
for the want of it. Cotton had begun
to show signs of failing, but was not
needing rain, like corn. The predic-
tons are for plenty of rain for the
next month.

anyway.
DR.. Will Crawford, Mr.. Munroe
Brewer and son, Mr.. Andrew
Brewer, went to Wilson last Friday
for the purpose Of IN X-Ray exami-
nation of the elder Mr.. Brewer, at
the Sanatorium there. The exami-
nation was satisfactory, confirming
DIR. Crawford's diagnosis, but we re-
:gret that no relief could be offered,
except an operation, which is not adj
visable now. However, we trust
that nature may be assisted by the
administration of proper remedies,
to throw off the trouble, and that he
may yet be fully restored to health.
He is an excellent citizen and one o.
