will this beautiful Monday morning,
after having presumptiously par
taken of a hearty breakfast of va
riouS too thsome eatables" give
you few happenings from this
little village and surrounding
neigbborhood,
From all appearances most all
the farmers have their crops pretty
well p. tched and after considerable
fight with insects, grass and weeds
the outlook for good crops are
favorable if the people will only
keep out of their storm pits long
enough to keep the grass cleaned
out.
Mr.. L. H. HOLMAN who has
been punching at the Hall Mill is
now at work on his farm wrestling
with the grass.
Mr.. E. E. Bali, one of the most
substantial farmers of this sec
tipn, tells US that not many days
since one of his steers fell into a
we'll forty feet deep at the VIM.
Bexley old place. When discovered
he was found to still be living.
He was Immediately elevated to
light where he seems to be fast
recovering from his fall.
Mr.. Ira Ball left this hamlet
few days ago on the South Bound
train. 1t is supposed that he has
gone to make Public Entry of the
Public Square in Mobile.
Mrs. Mary Ball has a most beau
tiful brood of white English ducks,
but they are very young and do not
risk themselves as far off as the
ford yet.
Mr.. William Bexley, commonly
known as Bill, who is now living at
the Spiers old stand and who has
been logging for many years has
also the cotton fever; his cotton
is looking well, and we wish him
bountiful crop.
Mr.. Tyra Eubanks has built him
a most magnificent fowl house.
That is right G. T. raise all the
chicks you can. / like to raise
them too, i. e. to the plate ha
hal
Mrs. Gavin and the little grand
child from Florida, are pleasant
visitors at the Tyra Eubnks res
idence.
Messrs. ]. W DiekeFson and G.
T. Eubanks have not completed
their pasture across Pig Branch
yet, but will soon have it finished.
On account of the mumps, L.
N. Ball at this writing had not yet
resumed his school work.
Mr.. w. N. McInnis has just cree
ted him a nice barn, it looks very
snowy.
Mr.. Calvin Ball of Ball is riding
around among his sheep; suspect he
is thinking of bringing the fleece
from them.
Miss Vera Ball and sisters went
blackberry hunting few days pre-
vious and returned with fine lot
of them.
Mr.. J. j. Ball has had fine
lot of new plank fence lately.
Mr.. C. C. and j. V. Ball have
secured them a fine lot of Cypress
shingles.
| wonder did Fido tree the rabbit
that Club-fst started; the barking
has ceased, suspect they have twis-
ted him out.
My mind has focused, so will
close by asking the correspondents
one question to-wit: What is the
last hair on a dogs tail called?
