J. H. Payne of Sterrett, finding his
time up put himself right on the list.
Columbus Walker, Forreston rails
ed boy, now a prominent lawyer in
uncle, S. r. Leatherman, and other
relatives and what was of probably
as much interest to me is the fact
S. P. renewed. At Nash l found
Prof. Kelley teaching a summer lit
erary school and some one teaching
school of Masonry 1t seems that
most of the Masonic lodges have had
schools this summer. DR.. Sctterhcld
and others were going TO Fort
Worth where Claude Satterfield was
being taken for an operation for
appendicitis. | hope he may come
through it all right. One OF the high

found Mr.. Mckinney finishing put
ting up crop of alfalfa 1t being the
noon hour and having an oppor-
tunity | went to the house and ate
dinner and enjoyed a pleasant hour
with the family. d. B. Billiard put
in an appearance while l was there
but he went to his room for a nap
and | saw very little of him. Cotton
was beginning to open on the farm
and the prospects for yield is very
good. Starting out after dinner
soon discovered that the subscrip-
ton paying part of the population
had gone down to Prior Trulls man
ager of the Fort farm to witness a
game Of baseball between the Deer
Chapel and Fort farm teams. They
played, l believe about as rotten a
game as l ever saw, all the balls
having been lost at the close of the
fifth inning for one and six for the
other team the score stood 10 to 4
in favor of the Fort farm team. am
sorry to make such a report but the
truth must be told. I found several
subscribers there whose time had ex-
pired. Out on Forreston No. 2 /
found J. T. Woodland, colored, read
ing his hymn book and his wife
reading the bible. At the Bell Branch
school house l found a tent and the
Baptist people in the midst OF a re-
vival meeting. I stopped during SER
vices and then rambled to the resi-
dence of Geo. w. Crutcher, who
had gone to Waxahachie, but l took
a good dinner with Mrs. C. and the
children and spent a pleasant noon
hour. On my way oyer to Bell
Branch I found J. w. Simmons and
family making sorghum. He told me
his crop would yield about 200 gal
! Ions and that he would make some
for his neighbors beside. Jess Bar
row told me his 100 plum trees on
a little less than quarter of an
acre brought him about $100-pret-
ty good for a white rock hill. Mean
dering through the Sims farm and
meeting several good farmers and
getting subs, l stopped at the resi-
dence Of Joshua Bostick and found
Mrs. Bostick dressing two chickens.
I did not believe he, Mrs. B., two
boys a daughtcr-in-law and a grand
child able to attend to those chick
ems hung up my Merry Widow and
proceeded to stay all night. Next
morning we had chicken again and
i went off cackling. Morris Dudley
has 10 acres Of cotton, 80 acres OF
corn and IL pound boy at his
house and believe is about as proud
a daddy as have met lately. H. W
jenkins was gone to Italy on bust
ness concerning the Farmers Union
warehouse which they are going ia
erect 1t that place. 8. G. Jenkins waa
