Harrison has bought lot of timber
on the river and will have it sawed on
shares.
Most everybody is through planting
corn; some cotton has been planted.
The cutworms are destroying the corn
that has come up. Everybody is ex-
pecting to work their own crop this
year as hands are not to be had. A
great deal of land will have to grow
up in broom sedge. If there was no
stock law cattle would have good
outlet.
j. W. Byrd, A. J. Crimson and Joe
Brinson made trip to Jackson last
week and all purchased new surries

short time ago purchased surrey
from the same company. We are glad
to note that the people Of this COM
munity are prospecting; farmers made
short crops last year on account of the
scarcity of labor, but the good price
of cotton made up for the short crops !.
It is hoped that good luck has
turned to the farmers at last and when
a man starts in behind his pillow in
the spring he will not be discouraged
but will have hope of being more
I rosperous in the future.
