| noticed in last weeks paper where
one of our writers said a farmer could
pay his children to pick up the squares
and weevil and burn them, that it
would be encouraging to the children
and you would be getting rid of the
weevils, too. I'll admit that if you
pay children to do task that it is en-
couraging, but in the meantime don't
see where the farmers are going to
have the money to pay them if the
weevils are as bad as some say they
are going to be this year, and m sure
they are bad for I've been where they
have had them the second year and

to have paid the children to pick them
up one week. | saw one man who
picked up the squares and weevils one
week and he was hustling farmer,

them off one acre, the more he picked
the more he had to pick. So don't

Miss Luke Rogers was guest at
the Greenwood home one evening this
week.
Luke Rogers and Master Peter went
to Lexington Saturday, waiting over
for the evening train from Tchula on
which G. G. came over, accompanying
them home for visit to the old folks.
G. C. made flying visit to Mrs. w.
V. Frost's and the Greenwood home
Sunday morning, returning to town for
a return trip to Tchula on the evening
train from the east.
There was quite a treat to the
Greenwood home Saturday morning in
the shape of nice lot of fish from
Master Tudor Gibson. You ought to
have stayed over, Tudor, " to help eat
them.
Crops are looking pretty we'll now
considering every thing.
This scribe was down at Capt. Faul-
coner's mill Saturday morning to have
some corn crushed, and found the old
Captain busy, as usual, but we are sor
ry to have to state that Mrs f. was
not at all we'll during the last week.
Sayiny by corn and pea planting has
been the order of the day in this neck
of the woods for several days, but if
it doesn't rain in short time old corn
will not make the seed.
Say, Corinne, what is the matter
with you? not line in four weeks.
Ida, your letter was read o. H., also

Well folkses, the madam, that is
Mrs. Ninety, began to get kind O.
restless few days since, and from
long experience, we had kind of an
idea what that meant; so sure enough
one morning when we found Dan and
the buggy gone we were not surprised
at all, as she takes these spells occas-
onally, and nothing does her any good
until she gets to town and hunts Miss
Bette Brooke and Harry Mccain up;
then in the evening she will come home
all smiles--but the way this old sinner
has to go down in his breeches to
square the bill is sin.
By the way, Mr.. Editor, that makes
us think of it; fellow would not have
any satisfaction at\all in this world, if
he couldn't tear the buttons off of his
breeches so that the madam could sew
them on again, would he? Well sir,
that very cuss that stays over to the
hardware store, sent the madam some
steel wire 'tother day, and asst her to
sew the buttons on Uncle - breeches
with that and maybe it would hold
him; that was that Jim Alexander fell
low, dod gast him! We sent him word
he'd better take the first train to Cali
fornia; if he amt done it we'll tend
to him all right. you bet.
