Monday, where he has an appointment
SonCe month and reports that the people
there are going to attend cur fair in
larg numbers. Brother Allen always
brings back a bundle of sugar cane and
we dislike to question him too closely
as TO where he gets it.
his writer took a trip on Monday with
DR.. White to the Plain neighborhood. He
was delighted to meet MS old bovhood
friend, Jno. D. Scarborough, and see him
looking SO well. If he would black his
hair he would pass for a man twenty wears
younger than he is. Another thing that
attracted my attention was the nice lit
tie and attractive play house Mr.. Edgar
MiSterfeldt has built for his children. If
parents would take a little more time and
spend a little more money for the home
happiness of their children, there would
not be Sc much unrest and longing to leave
the old roof tree among our children. Mr..
Misterfeldt has set good example and
it is to be hoped that other parents will
follow t.
While at Plain l had the pleasure of
visiting my old friend, Lorn Cooper, whose
son, Willie, is suffering from an attack
of malaria but his condition is not con-
sidered serious.
d. Taylor will buy your cotton seed.
