MI. anu MIS-. WIiSlIC 1yHtII, III LII
johnson county, were visiting rela-
stives in our community last week.
The batteries have come for the
phones in our community and we
can now "Hello' as good as any
body.
Madam Rumor says the wedding
bells are soon to ring again, and we
are trying to find out who is next, as
there are several Of our young men
getting lonesome.
Our neighbor, Mr.. Geo. Pipkin
says this is the coolest spell of wealth
aer, for the first week in November,
that we have had in % years. And
he knows, for he keeps a careful rec
ord of the weather.
Mr.. Will Granger says he is sorry
to have won the belt from Pete HOl-
land unintentionally and with no
special effort on his part, and for fear
that having enjoyed the enviable
distinction so long, he will feel out
of his natural role to be now deprived
of it, he wilt surrender to him any
time.
AS we write, Bob Hooks and
Frank Yelverton are making the
woods ring with music from their
pack of hounds, and Reynard is fly
ing for life. He has just crossed the
ing and all is still, which tells the
tale. of another "brush," and the
close of an exciting chase.
The potato crop is not 50 abundant
this year but they are the largest we
Dor who was ploughing up potatoes
in a field hat did not, as he thought
have a s'hitch'' in 1t. His mule
struck one and after finishing getting
up his potatoes, he took all the help
and proceeded to dig up a stump, or
blind hitch. When he got it out and
got the dirt off of it, he was amazed
to see a potato as big as a tub. This
was told us at church and no doubt
must be, not only SO, but also.
The death of Mrs. Walter COch-
rane, in st. Peters Hospital, in
Charlotte, last Sunday WA heard
with deep regret here, by her hume
rous friends, where she was so well
known as Miss Evelyn Thompson.
She was a daughter OF the late DR.
J. r. Thompson, and was a most es-
timable woman, the embodiment Of
all that was good and noble, and
carried sunshine and happiness
wherever she went. We extend tC
the family our heartfelt sympathy.
and commend them to Him "whC
~doeth all things WE'LL"
The article from tsE. M. B." touch
ed a responsive chord in u heart
and awakened many pleasant recol
lections, which carried us back to ia
miliar scenes, and dear faces, which
have long since faded from view
upon ife's landscape. The'scenes o
which she so beautifully writes, wer'
as much a part of their young live
as the air they breathed, and whel
we would threaten to dissect them
or cut their little heads off, your vel
-satile correspondent who has alway
been noted for her brilliant repartee
would say, Il fought you said 20
were goin' to dissect us,'' 81 tough
you said you were goin' to whip us.
Just daring us to modest them, know
ing at the time we would not hui
one of them for anything on earth
They were monarch of all they SUI
veyed, and dispelled sadness an
sorrow where ever they went, carry
ing sunshine and happiness to man
hearts. While part of that happ
little crowd have passed ''over til
river" some of them still remain {
the guiding star of their W happ
homes, and none shines more brigh
Nv; nor reflects a o beautif'
light than that which sheds Its lust
around the life and home of "E.
B."
