U-Know, don't pay any attention
to what Cyclone said last week,
'Tis true we spoke of you, but, be-
l1eve us, it was planetary and
because he and Topsy are at outs
over half the time there is no rea-
son why you and | should be. AS
to Cyclone threaten ming me with
Mrs. U-Know and her brooms, |
have better opinion of her than to
think she would harm a poor trav-
cling Gypsy.
The very idea of P. H. O. going
to sue Gypsy for ten thousand.
Who will come to my rescue? Prof
p. FL. o., did you never attend a
fair, and didn't you know there are
different departments for the things
on exhibition? There is nothing
prettier than the display of all
kinds Of fine fruits, preserves and
iellies, besides all kinds of fine nee
dle-work and embroidery and hand
painted china. Who would not feel
honored to be placed on exhibition
with them!
Grandfather Barleycorn passed
through Southside last Wednesday
morning with two crates of fine
Strawberries, one crate for Misses
Wootson Davis, Cornelia Norton
and Margaret Johnson, who acted
as Judges in the Ideal Housekeep-
ing" contest, the other crate tor
Subscriber, who, the judges de-
cided, deserved the prize tor the
best article on good housekeeping;
but Grandfather was disappointed,
as no one yet knows who Subscrib-
er is. My advice to whoever he or
she may be is to come and Tess up
and get the nice crate of berries.
Miss Flora Wade tells us of the
marriage of her friend, Miss Nola

Mr.. Gypsy and l, in company with
Mr.. and Mrs. Thea Terrell, attend
ed an old folks singing Sunday at
Mt. Carmel, near Crutchfeld, Ky.
The singing was simply grand.
Some one remarked during the day
that there was more music in one
song from the old "Southern Har-
mony" book than there was in a
whole book of the new songs. The
crowd was estimated at twelve hum
bred, and as the Kentucky people
are noted for their hospitality there
was plenty of good dinner to feed
the crowd. In the afternoon Mr..
Gypsy and l drove over to Crutch-
field and spent part of the evening
with my brother and family and
there we met Mrs. Copeland and
Mrs. Matlock, aud from there, in
company with my brother, we drove
over to the hospitable home of Mr.
and Mrs. Byron Terrell, where a
fine.supper had been prepared by
tn e good ladies of that home.
While there we met Rev. Zoll Fer
rell, wife and children, who recent
ly came from Illinois, where he had
charge of a good church several
