several days here last week, helping
nurse our sick.
Mr.. VIM. Rufus Cox, whose wife
met such tragic death at Bakers
mill, some weeks since, has given III.
his position there as miller and is
spen ling some time with his daugh-
ter Mrs. Wade Smith.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Swinson, of
your city, were out here Sunday
visiting Nir. owinscn's mother Mrs.
Mile Swinson.
Mis-. Win Crawford has been very
sick lor the past wees, but IS some
better we are very glau to know.
DIR. w. FL. Cobb, Jr., was out
here last Wednesday, when he was
called in consultation to see Mrs. DR..
Crawford.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. P. Whitehead, of
your city, spent short while here
Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. AMI Mrs. J. n. Rose spent
Sunday in Princeton, the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lafayette Benton.
The usual quietude Of our COM
munity was disturbed this morning
by the arrival of several of our
neighbors above here, on track Of a
mad dog, VIII cn had been pursued
from above Princeton. The dog had
passed through our yard only few
minutes before the crowd came. He
was or miles ahead, and still 60
ing, and as their teams were tired,
they gave up the chase and phoned
ahead to look out for him.
We were talking to an old darkey
about guano. He replied. "WeH sir,
I'se included not to use much juannie,
I'se gwine to git about 2 or turns
of ashley prostrate, and about half
lie quantity of cambrick, and mix
wild my cotton seed and stable
manure, and race wild anybody what
uses juannie straight. Den if cotton's
low, or bad crop year, 1 aint got
so much to pay for" Ii cotton is low
and a bumper crop made, many of
us will wish we had come to the
same "inclusion," no doubt. With
Texas making preparation for four
million bale crop, and the amount OF
$115, 900 for fertilizer tags in Sou' b
carolina agains $4,000 last year,
does not look very encouraging for
he reduction of acreage, advised by
the Cotton Growers Association, and
reminds us of what the old fellow
said: That when the farmers were
organized, and materially cut of
| chs ir cotton acre age, the devil would
lold prayer me citing. Better in
crease the demand for cotton and lei
them plant al they want to.
Long years have passed since first
we heard
The sweet songs, which no Other
could sooth our hearts, or lull
our fears
AS those, when sung by Mother.
| And when gathered round the old
fireside
With father, sisters and brother, the
dear old songs we then did sins
Were made still sweeter by Mother
But n,w, her songs are seldom
heard
But still, we owe, and love her.
There are no soothing strains OF
Maia's son
ICan compare with those of Mother
That voice, still sweet, though
| mongst the gold
ISilvere1 threads We discover,
No sweeter tones from mortal lip'
Ie'er fell, than those of Mother.
Time measures fast our length O
Il years
But memory fails to hold other ha'
i SO sweet,
AS the old, old songs as sung by ou
i loving Mother.
Within our heart, life's tolls an
cares
Often our pleasure cover, so We car
Il not sing the old song now
lUnless we think of Mother.
