Rev. E. A. Smith, of Brewton,
Ala, visited his brother, Mr..
Adrian Smith, and other relatives
and friends in Oxford two days
this week. Mr.. Smith has been
appointed to get up a complete
roster of Walthall's Brigade, G..
S. A., and is hard at work upon
the task. He is a native of Ok
ford and a few friends of auld
lang syne, are yet here to give
him a hearty greeting.
With several other friends We
were invited out to the hospitable
home of Messrs. Charlie, WIGHT
and Miss Mittie Delbridge a few
days ago, and spent a most de-
lightful day. 1t is a pleasure to
note the splendid prospect for a
bountiful corn and cotton crop,
upon land that been in cultiva-
ton over so years. A fine herd
of Jersey cattle, and droves OF
fat hogs, ducks, geese, chickens
and turkeys are among other at
fractions of this charming coun-
try home.
The fact that cotton jumped to
Is cents last week is enough to
make Southern farmers expect
milk and honey to flow up hill
this fall. With the fleecy staple
selling at a good living price and
a fair corn crop, the man who
growls or complains of hard times
should be shipped North, and
made to work for a trust company
at starvation prices. But let all
who appreciate this unexpected
good fortune, show it by paying
their debts, even to their news
paper subscription, and taking a
new start toward the achieve
Iment OF fortune.
