SOME GREAT YIELDS
OF CORN TOLD TOBE

Editor Holmes County Times
will give you few items Of news that
interests the people most in this neck
of the woods. We have had fine rains
just enough, and not too much, and
the crops are looking fine; and if the
price of cotton is fixed right this fall,
the bankers, merchants, lawyers. doc
tors, preachers, teachers. editors, ped
dlers, fiddlers- all will get their pay
and the women and children will have
bread to eat. Therefore, we don see
any reason why anybody should suffer
in this country. While some people
have got the crop over estimated, and
| don't see what they have got their
Judgment based upon, for there is but
little on the cotton yet in this part of
the country except deed of trust
and am of the opinion that neither
hot sun nor rain will cause that to
shed off
We take it for granted that the corn
crop is very fine. We heard Mr.. John
son Fryer say he would make 70 or so
bushels of corn per acre; and Mr..
Jesse Edwards says his crop of corn is
v
all speak for seed corn at oncel We
heard Mr. Ed Vaughn say he made 60
bushels last year and this year he
would make 500 or 900 bushels. We
all know when Mr.. Vaughn speaks he
tells the truth, or says something funny.
We will all eat bread by. the sweat of
our brow, Plow deep while the slug
CARDS sleep; you will have corn to sell
and corn to keep.
We heard a very wise old gentleman
say once that most any fool could make
a crop of cotton, but it takes smart
man to make corn. We wonder how
many will think they are smart this
year.
The people in this part of the coun-
try are in fine spirits, except Uncle
Billy Hopson. He had the misfortune
toAlose fine mule Saturday
Our, sawmih man ordered him lot
of experience, and Is moving the first
lot of lumber out of his way so he can
saw some more.
Some one said that Jay had lost the
way to Hardscrabble We think he
did, but he got Mr.. Will Davis from
Tchula to show him the way back.
1t is a great wonder he showed him
the way back, but it may take both of
them to hold that Roach hand. There
is fly in the trap somewhere, for we
saw both of them going that way
together. Look out girls. Mrs. Wilkes
health is bad, and J. has to cook We
heard Mr. Win Davis say he had
changed his route, but that is sad
mistake. He only mended his gait.
He got himself away over in Lefore
county, in the western part. with his
best girl in company with him. She
saw nice little young Buck and we
think, from what we can hear, she had
an idea of catching him but Mr.. Davis
objected, the young Buck liking the
young lady s looks so much we think
will try to find his way to the young
lady 8 house if he can pass Tchula
safely Mr. Davis has strange set to
encounter, with Jay, Roach and a
Buck nolen. They all have strange
way of travelling, but Willie will get
there with the balance.
We heard Mr.. Harper Lunsford say
he hoped that nobody would bother his,
Ever while he was sick
If you all will come out to Hebron
to preaching next Sunday you can see
and know and can guess for yourself
as to how some things are going.
We viii close. with best wishes to
The Timess and its many readres.
TOBE.
