FOUR HOLES DOTS.
Talks ON the Crops, Mosquitoes and
Personals.

It begins to look like the poor old
Clod-hoppers are going to have some
little sunshine, which is badly needed
to make General Green hang his
head, he has had his own way for
about seven weeks, and it has caus-
ed the farmer in every nook and
corner of this section to have the
blues.
Corn crops are pretty good on
up lands where they could be work
ed, but oh my, the poor little cotton.
i 1 have tried to find out from others
and from what I have seen myself,
there will be about one third of a
crop made in this part Of the coun-
ty. Let us hear from other sections.
The successful candidates for cotton
weigher will not have such a fat
Job weighing cotton this fall.
There is one crop not made by
the farmers that bids fair to be a
full one. Yes, an over-production,
and that is the Mosquito. I remem-
Der some forty years ago to have at
tended Campmeeting in that par of
this county that was annexed a few
months ago, about three weeks be-
fore the meeting came off they had a
wet spell and there was an over pro-
duction of the mosquitoes, sure
enough. The Presiding Elder to get
to that meeting had to cross Four
Holes Swamp in buggy, at what
was known then as "Bunches Ford
The mosquitoes did the old gentle
man pretty bad, and there was So
many of them that was the "big
kind"

Death of Miss Bessie Salley,

This community was saddened
when it became known yesterday
that Miss Bessie Salley, the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Julian A.
Salley, had passel away. She had
just budded into young womanhood,
when she is stricken down, and the
happy home is made desolate. She
was q most excellent young lady,
and her death casts a shadow over
large circle of relatives and friends.
But they have the consolation OF
knowing that she is now at rest
on the other side, where she awaits
the coming of loved ones left be-
hind. Our sympathy goes out to
the deeply bereaved family.

DANGER PLACES IN A STORM.
The Peril of q Crowd, Hedges, Iron
Fences or Trees.


What. is the safest place in a
thunderstorm? AS rule the safest
place of all is inside building
which is provided with perfect
lightning conductor. The conduc-
tor, however, must have no defects.
If it be broken or have a faulty con-
nection it is then a source of grave
danger.
In an ordinary dwelling house
unguarded as it usually is against
lightning, q safe place is the middle
of the largest room, where one is
away from the walls, or a still SAT-
er. precaution is to lie on an iron
bed drawn out from contact with the
wall:
THE most dangerous places in the
house, we are further told, are near
the bell wires, or an open window,
CT the fireplace Outside the house
the places of danger are proximity
to walls and buildings and iron
fences. Another danger is crowd
The vapor which rise from crowd
tends to lead a fash toward the
crowd. In the open country one OF
the most dangerous places is the
bank of a river. Avenues Of trees,
lakes, and hedges are likewise dan
gerous.
If anH one doubts the danger of a
hawthorn hedge let him take his
stand at safe distance during a re-
spectable storm and watch the ef-
feet. The lightning will dart along
the hedge like sheets of fire. If the
observer gets wet to the skin, SO
much the better for his safety.

Merit to a public school system,

Shall they meet on the street corner,
