Last Saturday two negro Wo-
men were tried for fighting on
the streets of Blevins. They
were each fined.
Hay has got to be one of the
biggest commodities in this Sec
ton. There has been, up to date,
several hundred bales sold, and
the demand is increasing.
Blevins mas been blessed, or
cursed, with an epidemic OF
mumps, even the doctors not be-
ing immune, and some are in a
critical condition.
The stave bucker at Blevins
has orders to shut down after
completing the yard at that place.
Thursday night of last week
there was quite a heavy storm
passed through here. Heavy and
continuous thunder and vivid
lightning was accompanied by
a perfect deluge of rain with hail
and wind. The hail was so heavy
that it broke out window panes
in several parts of the country.
1t is almost impossible for load
ed wagons to get through some
portions of our roads the mud is
so deep, but it is not the fault of
orr road overseer, for he is the
best this township ever had. We
have a few dangeroug bridges
also.
There has been several capital
lists here from the north trying
to Dny out the hardwood mill and
its several thousand acres of
timber land.
The Odd Fellows had a call
meeting last Tuesday night and
transacted some important bust
ness.
One of our neighbor boys was
nearly killed at the stave bucker
last week. A stave flew out of
bucker and struck him in the
forehead and cut a cash about
2 l-2 inches long and into the
bone. DR.. Arlington sewed it
up.

If bait is wanted one must lay
in the shade of a tree and wait
until the worm comes out OF the
earth and then he is taken to the
nearest fishing place, put on a
hook and left to drown if he
can't catch a fish for them. They
sometimes sit for a day in one
place and watch for one little
nibble and return the next day
for that.

a figure head? They can get
along very we'll without him in
society. But when he makes
cotton crop just see how they
will flock around. all they want
him to do is to bring his crop to
market, they will do the rest. and
when he brings his cotton to
town the price has already been
set. He has no word in making
his price, not often is he asked
what he wants, and should he
tell them they would laugh him
to scorn. They will very wisely
look at the sample; will say a
very poor sample, was not ginned
correctly and that cotton is off
today. The farmer tries to show
the good qualities Of his cotton,
he has been very careful to bring
out a good sample as he wants a
good price. He and family have
worked hard for this crop, they
have hoped to have a little money
left after their bills were paid,
but alas, his heart sinks as they
criticise his sample. Finally they
will make bid that is the top,
if someone else will pay you
more all right. y With a heavy

time Mr.. Jones has arrived at
the second buyers place. He is
glad to see Mr.. Jones, asks what
he has been offered and hopes
he will be able to please Mr..
Jones. Perhaps he will raise the
bid a small fraction and say: Il
am sorry but it is the best | can
do, cotton is off today. =
This cotton has to be sold, the
farmer knows it and so does the
buyer. Mr.. Jones closes out his
cotton and goes around to settle
his bills, first to the merchant,
| for here is his greatest bill. He
has lived close to keep his expen-
ces down, but alas, he has had
to pay 1-3 more than cash prices
because he is poor. and then pay
10 per cent. interest. So it takes
all he makes to settle his &C
counts. The next year he and
family travel the same road.
Now, my brother if this is not

the word. We need the mer-
