W. H. Neal, last Saturday and Sunday
From the appearance of the crops a
scarcity of labor is not e~vident,as there
is very little grass, and all crops show
good cultivation. But this is not due
to an abundance of labor, but from the
fact that the farmers have done an i'm
mense amount OF work themselves.
Everybody is busy laying by corn
and some few armer have hnlshed,
and soon the cotton Will follow SUIT,
and then there will be a season of rest
until fodder is ready for the stack. The
apple crop is coming in, but from pres
ent prospects there will not be enough
to make very much cider. The fruit,
like the crops, seems much better IN
some sections than others, and right
through this section apples are mighty
''skace."
The winter oats have been saved and
the moving machines and cradles are
busy now saving the spring crop ana
seeding peas for hay. With the br1ght
prospect tor a good corn crop can be
oduced it will enable more farmers to
feed out Of their own crib next year,
and be an object lesson in the necessity
of making home supplies OF first I'M
p~ortance to insure successful farming.
Notwithstanding the backward sea-
sons and all other hinderances which
have initiated against the tillers of the
SOll lLlS ECd13 CLACAS Ao AobS -
full for and prospects for good prices
for cotton continue, perhaps many Will
be constrained to complain less and be
thankful more and adopt the motto of
Bildad Akers, when he said, I'm 60
ing to do my part, and l Jes know
P~roverdence will do His'n."
A large crowd from Ebenezer Sunday
School attended the Sunday School
Conference at Salem church last Sun
day., and those of the school who par
ticipated in the exercises acquitted
themselves we'll, rejecting credit, not
only upon our worthy superintendent,
Mr.. p. c.. Caldwell, and his efficient
corps of teachers, but upon the commu-
nifty at large. We do not claim to
have the best community in the State,
but we've got as good as the best, and
we are glad to see the interest our
Young people manifest in church work.
Their many friends deeply sympa-
thize with Mr.. and Mrs. Z. D. Tole rim
the death of their infant, which occurred
yesterday evening at their home at
GraSSm0r6, a1I0r S0N0Ta1 DAYS 1lIu0SS.
He was an interesting little fellow, the
joy of devoted parents, and his death
casts a gloom over their household
which no earthly hand can dispel. May
He who said, ''Suffer little children to
come unto me- comfort them in their
bereavement.
It was our pleasure the attend the
exercises at Salem church last Sunday
and meet many OF the friends of our
boyhood. Among them was the gen
ial, MISUNDERSTANDING John V.
Sherrard. who goes about with every
pocket full of good humor and is him
self continually efferescing with mirth
and c~heerfulness, scattering sunshine
and dispelling the "blues," and veri-
flying the fact to those with whom he
comes in contact, that if 0 ''laugh, the
world laughs with you"
