Farm Work Moving on-Sunday
School Reorganized- death of
Mrs. Rikard.

DdCuludu Oudpel, NAY IL. w
have had nice showers of rain which
have brought most of the crops up to
fairly good stand but owing to the
cold weather they remain small and
look very poor. We hope to soon
have the good old summer time wealth
er to start in when every thing Will
put on new life and move off nicely.
The oats crop will be short as the
season has been very unfavorable for
oats. The farmers in this section are
working their earliest planting of
corn and will start to thinning cotton
in a short while.
The health Of this community is
very good at present so far as we
know.
Mrs. Henry Richardson is improv-
ing nicely from the burns she receiv-
ed on Saturday afternoon before Eas-
ter Sunday. It is hoped that she will
soon regain her strength. Mr.. Rich
ardson has been staying by her he'd
side since she was burned and there
fore had to neglect his farm work.
His friends joined together though
and prepared and planted his crop
for him, which indeed was a great
help. GA friend in need is friend
indeed.' This is a very true old
maxim and shows a man who his
friends are. To lend a helping hand
to any one in the time of need will
not hurt any one and means a great
deal to those who are in need Of help.
