Mrs. J. d. Leach, of Sassafras Ridge,
is at Watsrvalley. visiting her relatives
this week.
The farmers are getting very economi
cal in this neighborhood. Every man
with family has his own mill 10
grind his meal, and there is no going 10
mill
The largest part of our citizens were
~ Hickman last Saturday with cotton
and corn and did great deal OF trad
ing, which shows that the people know
W here they are treated best.
Several couple of young folks took
A view and walk along the levee last
Sunday evening and they seem 10
think they will be safe FROM high
water when the ievee is finished.
Ed. /. c. Moore filled his appoint
ment at Sycamore Chapple on Sunday
and preached two sermons it it did rain.
he has one more visit to make to the
good people around the old chapple-
on Saturday before the first Sunday IN
December.
There has been several people down
in the bottom from different parts of
this and Hickman county, and eight or
ten wagons, loaded with old and young,
armed with shot guns. baskets, and
dishpans for gathering hickory nuts,
of which there were plenty.
Brother Albert Jones preached his
farewell sermon last Sunday at Sassa.
fras Ridge to a large congregation
preached very impressive discourse
and had a farewell hand shake which
was very sad, after which he solmnized
the marriage of Mr.. Kepner and Mrs.
Sallie Pounds. After the ceremony the
crowd repaired TO the residence of Bro.
Jim Pattersons and partook Of bounti-
full dinner, such as Sis Patterson
alone knows how TO prepare. The en-
tire congregation wished them long
and happy life.
Cotton picking and corn gathering is
in full blast in this part OF the bottom.
Cotton Is turning out very short-not
more than half crOp-to the disap.
pointment of the farmers. A cold June
Is the cause. 1t is harder to pick this
season than il has been for several
years. Corn will be over an average
crop and is well matured-not much
damage done by frost. Some are talk
ing of holding their corn for better
prices. while some are going to market
as they gather TO save handling the
second time, shrinkage and waste
which are important items, if the
higher price men could see it.
At the church At Sassafras Ridge last
Sunday. at the close of service, the fol-
lowing letter of recommendation was
