week for S35.
j. T. McCraw sold q bale Of
cotton Friday at Elgin for twelve
and a half cents.
Bill Bently remained at home
last Sunday and cared for the
baby while his good wife went
to Sunday School.
Jupiter-Pluvious opened up the
flood gates Of his seservoir Sat
urday night and made mother
earth" glad with refreshing rain.
Mistletoe Sunday school has
had a change of time of meeting.
We now meet at 2:3O p. M. in
stead of 10 O'Clock a. IN. All ye
Sunday school folks take notice.
Clarance Morgan, our new
Sunday school Secretary, is max
ing good" in that line. This be-
ing his first attempt, some one
should pat him on the back for
being alive.
The school at Mistletoe is pro-
crossing admirably, with good
attendance. Mrs. Harrison is to
be highly commended for her
, ability to safely guide the tender
mind of youth along the path
way Of knowledge.
Sunday School met last Sunday
with ffty-three present. Good
interest and good behavior are
two of the crowning features of
our audiences. Never " hisper
ora "giggle' disturbs our servi-
ces during Sunday school hour.
The young ladies of this COM
munity do not seem to be matrl-
; monially inclined; or else they
are not attractive enough for the
asthetic eyes of Albert Dotson
for he has gone to the far distant
land of "Old Kentuck' to get a
, wife. We wish for Albert a
SPEEDY return. and hope that he
:, may be accompanied by the fail
: kentuckian of his dreams.
9 The box and pie supper Friday
5 night WAS n thorough success
from every viewpoint. The house
was crowded until there was
scarcely standing room with al
!. enthusiastic audience that mani
tested it's exuberance with cheers
and hand d-clapping at many things

e said that he reflected honor anC
credit upon the art of sale-cryers
the country over. The sales
: amounted to something over $l9.
;. 90. and the voting contest fOl
k the cake netted the neat sum o
$50. 20; making a total of Owe
o $500. Miss e. Montgomery wor
. the cake, over Miss Ida Spencer
+ and Miss Ruth King. Ed Sanders
a seemed to be the center Of at

e. w. Golden. a farmer living
near the Cannon school house
came very near having a serious

. last Tuesday, when his team be

from the wagon and received ;
