We had a wind that scared some of the
folks in this section last week. The most
damage was done near Capt. Seases
plantation. Several houses were blown
down and unroofed. An old darkey who
lives on the plantation called the Martin
Sease place says it was a regular "sly
coon" and where she went through tore
up everything, pine trees, oaks and even
stumps ten feet high. There was heavy
rain at the same time, and the hard wind
blew it everywhere. Everybody COM
planned of their houses leaking.
A good oak fire was enjoyable Sunday
afternoon and night. One was not to be
coaxed to be induced to draw up chair
and partake of it's warmth.

poets for fine oat crops if the April cold
don't do them up. Some of the prophets
say about April 18th there will be cold
wave with heavy frost and ice. After the

or not.

still in the ring.

tension asked for route No. l from this
place, which will take in the McMillans,
Kearses, Seases, and others of that section.
Will be quite an accommodation to that
section to get their mail daily. Patrons
along the mail routes should deposit all
their mail in boxes along the lines and
not bring them in to the office as so many
of them do. They need them every one
to make up their count so as to have the
service continued. The department wants
the carriers to handle at least 1000 pieces
per month. Give them all the assistance
you can, as it is for your benefit.
