The Columbus weekly dispatch., 1908-07-16

one day last week
We spent last Thursday evening at
Star at the home of Mr.. John w
Crawford We had the pleasure Of
partaking OF some nice. choice mel
ons. and of looking at some of the
finest corn that we have seen this
! season. Mr.. Crawford is an up-to-
date blacksmith, and runs a first
| class shop. He is one OF the best
( horseshoers in West Alabama, and is
also a frst-class farmer His corn
will perhaps average 3 5 or 40 bush
eds per acre The stalks are fifteen
feet high and the ears Of corn look
like a large raecoon swung by the
tail. Hon. John Hays, of Star, is
said to be the best corn raiser in the
Star territory, but we think that Mr..
Crawford is right along with him
this season.
We are greatly indebted to Mr.
Barksdale Miller, a highly respected
young man of the Dow neighborhood,
for courtesies shown two of our sis
ters while they were at Dow.
