Weather Very Unfavorable,
Large Acreage Of Corn Will
be Planted. Death of
Mrs. Christie.

Mr.. Editor: After the nice rain on
the 3rd Sunday, we were in hopes
that with warm nights and hot sun
we would soon have good stands of
cotton, but it has been almost cold
enough for frost ever since with
high wind which has dried out the
land so much none has come up, or
can come until it turns warmer,
which we hope will be soon. People
lin this section are about two-thirds
done planting cotton while very
little corn has been planted yet, but
a big cornscrop will be put in. Peo-
pie are preparing their land more
thoroughly and will use more fer
tilizer5 on-cerpela usual.
Mrs. M. "a. Christie was taken
suddenly i'll Friday morning. She
fell in the floor soon after getting
up and remained in an unconscious
condition until Saturday evening at
6 o'clock when she died. All that
could be done for her was done but
she never revived. She leaves her
husband and FIVE children, all of
whom are married except one daugh-
ter.
AT Cochran's negro church yes
terday Sam Wash. shot and killed
Henry Mosely as the congregation
was coming out of church after
preaching. There had been bad
blood between them for some time.
Both are negroes.
Miss Alma Williams, who has
been teaching the Brunson school
this term, closed her school last
Friday with some recitations and
drills by the children.
Mrs. Cleora Tompkins is up
spending some time with her father,
Mr.. A. L. Brunson.
This is election year and it seems
that Moss township is going to fur
nish her full quota of candidates.
She bias four and we hear Of others
to come later.

A genuine mid-winter blizzard ragged
throughout the northwest last week.
Chicago and many other cities were
clad in snow several inches deep. The
damage to fruit and vegetable has
be en- estimated at 100000 900, which
means that the cost of living will &c
still higher. AS most of the apples
sold on the southern market in winter
are grown in the north and northwest,
the effects of this very disastrous
freeze will probably be felt by our PEG.
