Hebron Items.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Mr. Editor, can you give place in
the Dispatch for few items from
the Mt. Hebron section?
On the 18Th we had 8 fine rain,
which was MUCH needed. Crops are
improving very fast where they were
not too far gone.
A few days ago, while on my way
from MIR. Georges roller mill, I was
glad to see the fine and fourishing
corn, green from bottom to top, along
the old Augusta road. And then in
the evening, as went to our fields
on the red hills near the river, and
saw the corn wilted down for want
of rain the great change made me
feel real bad. From New Brocklend

dry streak.
Cotton is doing we'll except on red
or clay land, where in many places
it is about hand high and blooms in
the top, but We are hopeful as the
price is better.
Mrs. Rebeccs Shull is at her sons,
Mr.. Harris Shull, in a very critical
condition from Injuries received in
fall. May our kind Heavenly Father
be very near unto her in her sh:c-
tion.
Miss Isabella Lupe, an aged lady
of our community, is almost helpless
and needs attention.
I am glad to learn that Treasurer
F. W. Shealy is improving.
Mr.. Editor, as the 20:h of July
has come and gone our mind runs
back to the opening of the campaign
last summer. The barbecue dinners,
the kindness of the people, the many
pleasant associations enjoyed and
friendships made, all of these things,
even amid the pressing duties of life,
almost make me wish I was out on
the rounds again.
I shall watch with interest the
whiskey OK dispensary question as
it advances.
With best wishes to you aud our
county paper, J. W. Hendrix.
