SOUTH FULTON.


Topsy, don't forget that white
black hog when you depart for the
fair.
Mrs. Fred B. Greene, of Union
City, returned to her home last
Thursday after a visit here.
Mr.. W. r. Andrews moved back
to Union City last Thursday. Mrs.
Andrews has been very unwell for
some time.
The widow Cyclone is under obli-
cations to Gypsy for the invitation
to be her guest during the fair, but
Cyclones lower lip il hanging down
with the pouts, declaring that his
revenge will be sweet.
One of Cyclones family, Master
Erwin, has been confined to his bed
going on four weeks with typhoid
fever which has caused constant
nursing day and night, but we are
glad to say he is convalescent at
this writing.
Fulton is to have weeks carni-
val, commencing next Monday, and
while think of it as Gypsy has
snubbed me as being her guest DUR
ing the fair / will now extend an
invitation to Topsy to be the guest
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Cyclone during the
Fulton carnival.
1t would have been quite treat
to any one to have had the pleasure
of accompanying Mr.. Will Walters
to the Worlds Fair, as he would
have been a museum himself. 1t Is
said that he laughs once in while.
when something funny
happens. Will is one of Cyclones
good friends and as plain and pleas
ant as an old shoe.
We are now in close touch with
the saddest part of the year--fall
when jack-trost comes with his Bit
ing tongue, swapping everything he
comes in contact with, causing the.
leaves to bow their heads and die,
when all vegetation goes into
mourning. This is only a parable
to the human race--that death
sooner or later will come to every
living creature, vine and twig; while
spring teaches us lesson of life
and the beauty and grandeur there
in to be obtained.
We notice that Mr.. w. A. Forest
er has become the owner OF the J.
A. Turner farm, which, in connec-
ton with his that lay adjoining,
gives him one of the most valuable
farms in Obion county. We are
glad to hear of Alexis prosperity,
as he is one of our best and truest
man with heart in bIim
as large as mill stone and a good
will to all mankind. If you want
to enjoy pure Southern hospitality.
where plenty and peace reigns, visit
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Forester.
We are glad to notice the success
Of Mr.. Henry Moss in purchasing
the Hamilton farm south OF Union
City, which is one Of the best in
that section. When you see Henry
around with just one sus-
pender on, his hat turned up Id
front and his pants legs stuffed in
bis boots it is sign that things
are moving around him. Henry
started out with nothing but ci-
piers, but has succeeded in devel-
oping them into satisfactory fig.
ares. CYCLONE.

tional and varied accomplishments and
as an unique figure in the long line Of
