Notes from Lillian.

We are still visited with very
freoent showers. Something like
fifty or a hundred visited US on
Saturday, and fully that many on
Sunday. From the appearance
of things at present, it don'tlook
anything like a hold-up. Don't
guess we can say that the ground
hog has been here yet. Along
with the rain we have had a ter
rible wind, and in some places
corn and cotton looks as If a log
had been rolled over them. To-
bacco is bruised and broken very
badly, but no serious damage has
been done in this part of the
county.
| For some unknown reason the
protracted meetings held recent
ly at Union Grove. New Bethel
and Andrews Chapel seem to
have been very dull. Many Of
of the boys say it was on account
of prohibition, but we cannot see
it that way. All! did they give
prohibition as the reason for
so much dry weather? They say
