from various sections OF the county. The
crops in Salem are poor for The time OF
year, on accouo, Of the cold and dry
weather, they are very backward indeed,
however. with the better seasons this
week things are more encouraging.
General Green is putting IN appearance,
and the prospect is ,ha: the farmers will
have 70 measure swords With him at 3
lively gait If they hope 10 get out OF the
cankers. We want 70 look oc the bright
side. and hope for good harvest Some
Of the bankers and merchants are get
ting uneasy, but think they need net
be alarmed as the old farmer is the back
bone OF the world and has held together
so long aad prospered don't think there
is acy reason TO fear now. l. has been
demonstrated time and again that II the
farmer meets with -ererSeS and cannot
pay one time he will another, therefore
he is safe.
attended the birthday dinner given
ia honor OF Miss FEATHER Gowdv. Gaugh-
ter o; our friend. D. Il. Gowdy, Oh the
18th. II was very enjoyable affair.
When We arrived we were greeted with
music and song by the young people OF
the community who had evidently got
ten up early TO beat Us 70 the feast, but
we got there al! the same 10 our auto
mobile, although the roads were very
rough. Shortly after our arriva! The
peighbors ca,ne with :heir baskets and
boxes filed Up and running over. and
apparently g-oaoiog under the burden
ed they coz ctaiued. Just at noon dinner
was announced. and Miss Reather was
requested 20 80 and escor: her best fel-
low TO the table, and 70 our surprise she
picked GU. the worst looking old gray
beaded fellow on the place and marched
h;m 20 the table Well though, the
old chap ought 20 feel honored, the
young men locked sad, while the ladies'
smiled. II was splendid feast, and the
way the dishes did rattle. and the good
things consumed was caution.
though: doctor would have 10 be sum
mored before the party broke up, but
20, so, and | canno: account for u only
in one way. that is the excellent COOK
ing OF the e6ibieS. Mr.. Editor, think
we Salen!tes have as good cocks as can
be found anywhere, and | am satisfied
YOU will testify ~ this. !Atec dinner the
Young folks went ou; AID took seats II
the vehicles, and from the racke: they
made they surely enjoyed themselves.
The Old FOLKS looked on, and discussed
various topics, farming, politics and all
manner OF things of interest 20 them.
Appel and Davis for the Senate was
freely discussed. Well, / could say who
this party dominated il left TO them bu.
I know i. I DO. we will he pes,ereG with
the weakest candidate over here in 3
few days irving 10 streogthen his side,
and as We have not two strange men on,
for Senate, We Will try and be satisfied
when the primary decides the matter.
Salem IS posted IS TO the merits OF men.
and the voters here vote az IN their
Judgment they think right.
Well Mr.. Editor, it is about time for
this section 70 be alive with candidates
TO soft soap. and palaver the people with
fair promises, bat we SalemiteS are get
ting very tired OF this kind Of business.
| wonder when our Supervisor will be
over, when he comes 70 ask for votes /
suppose be will ask for votes alright with
smile on MS face, and think when he
meets friend or friends be Will have
70 turn his head 20 one side 10 let o!tn
pass. We thought when we got Salem
man for Supervisor this section would
receive her jus. proportion OF the beLe-
fits OF the county, bus no; So Just think
the county has had Z chain gang for 20
wears, and Salem being about one-.aird
o; the county, has only had the benefit
OF tha, cham gang about FIVE months.
most OF our roads have grown up IN
bushes, bridges are dangerous 10 pass
over, tie public roads that the people
worked hard 70 Gu: through large
swa.nps with the promise OF causewaEs
and bridges at least eight years ago,
tha, are still no, causewayed. or bridged, t,
we are getting awtully impatient 81 this
sort o; thing, the soft soapins and fair
promises, We mus: have results. The
blame IS no, 81! on Mr.. Nc. but We
do think he could have done more for Us
than he has done, and we are now hear
ing gcoans from the political camp say
ing we mus, have some changes 10 tha,
Office.
Mr.. Editor, reckon had better stop
before insult someone, or hurt some
body's feelings. FARMER.
