NEW CASTLE TIMES.

tlallY cotton. | don't think there viii be any more cotton made on our ridge land than there was in lg09, for 1t is shedding considerably. Squares and boIls as large as quail eggs are dropping from the stalks.
 It looks like old fate las put his foot down on big cotton crops and they seem to be. thing of the past
 but we can say without fear of sue ceSful contradiction, that we have got the finest corn crop We have had in dozen years or more. Our pea and hay crops are very short, lots of pea hay not worth cutting at all, and the peas so few as to be not worth picking.
 MThis was Bro. Mays day at Forrest Chapel but he failed 10 show up SForrest Chapel was the scene of a disappointed lot of people last night, all expecting to hear big temperance lecture by Hon. NJ. B. Norfleet, of Forrest City. But ne also failed to show up It was said that he notified the people he would not be here, but many of us failed to get the message. But Rev. Sanders filled his appoint ment with nice little talk on the subject of temperance.
 Miss Helen Shawyer, our charming assistant school teacher, accompanied Miss Alma Pirtle to Widener Sun day, where Miss Alma is teaching, and will remain until Tuesday.
 The directors dismissed Prof An derson's school for this week on ac- count of the professor having been exposed to diphtheria some of his family being afflicted. We certainly regret it very much. as lie was pro- gressing very nicely. It has been whispered around that the little pio- lessor has made some mighty good boys out of some mighty bad ma terial. Our patrons are generally very well pleased with their new teachers, but some of our boys say they are not much stuck on him. but will not give the reason. It is not hard to guess
 Lots of sickness in our country now, and they have just about worked our young doctor to death We certainly
 need another doctor in this com munity. He practices about eight to E ten miles each way. and las the get up about him or some of us would suffer at times.
 Say Mr. Editor, We heartily endorse your road building plan to build a road across our beautiful county in one hour or say a day. l am past the age Of road work, but l am ready and willing to take my teams and blows, or SeraperS, or dragS, and do all l can, for l think that if there k anything we farmers need, it is better roads It is shame to see our poor teams I pulling our crops to market in the fall through the mud and ditche, that we call roads in this county. + ! We had good roads l could pull witt my teams in one load what 1 now pull in two. What would be the saving for the farmers of this county l in one season? Why it would pay all of our taxes and road tax of S5 fol each farmer ill our county But l am like Mir. lIeiskel, who spoke at yoHI Good Road Rally. l don't think Vt will ever maintain the foundation oi our roads untl We bring into use the broad tire wheel think Ne peaflt should insist on oar representative, I and senators passing such abi, t6 compel every farmer to exchange Hie wheels inside uf uat over lHree yeas ! to comply With the carrying capacity s at his wagon er vehicle asthc ca@t may be.
