ALONG ROUTE 8.
Don't forget the big picnic and barbecue
at Sharon school house next Friday.
Everybody Is invited to come and bring
we'll filled baskets. Come and you will
enjoy the day, as Sharon people never do
things only In flrst-class style.
Crops on route 8 are looking we'll, only
needing a little rain. The roads are good
but very dusty, making travel very un.
pleasant.
Farmers will soon be laying by, unless
rains set in again.
The crop Of candidates on route 8 are up
and about, wide awake and holding their
electioneering grip on the people. You can
tell them by their radiant and pleasant
smiles.
Miss Annie Cochran is home again after
a most delightful stay at Hendersonville,

well attended, and it is hoped the earnest
efforts Of the ministers will awake al in
terest in the hearts OF the waiting conglN-
cations that will spring up and bring
forth abundant fruit to the honor and
glory OF the Master. Rev. Mr.. Jones is an
eloquent, earnest and impressive speaker

in the Masters name.
