The dry weather still contin-
ues-a few showers. but no
enough to break up the drouth.
Pastures are drying up and
water is scarce in many places.
The writer took a trip to Tay-
lor county last week. The dry
weather has served the people
there worse than it has us. They
only claim half crop.
Our tent meeting continued
for 9 days and closed without
any success.
Mrs. Martha Squirting and son,

daughter, Mrs. l.. R. Chelf, a
few days last week.
Mr.. A. C. Wheeler and wife
visited the formers mother and
the latter's sister, in Taylor
county, last week.
Mr.. w. B. Hovious and family
attended the State Fair last week
Mr.. ]. V. Dunbar. our leading
merchant, is having shed room
built, full length of his store
house, which adds very much to
the appearance of his property.
Mrs. H. E. Chandler an d
daughter are visiting the form
er's son, Mr.. ALI Chandler, this
week.
Mr.. Geo. Hereford, candidate
for county Judge, was in this

one. The old farms are being
touched by energy and new life
and are fast taking on their
beautiful and profitable appear
ance of antebellum days. Land
values are steadily advancing
and every where evidence of
prosperity is seen. Throughout
that entire section the crops are
fine, and no one complaining of
hot winds or drouth. 1t would
be pleasure to speak of the
beautiful and substantial public
roads built, and being built, of
their cost, of their worth and
effect on property. but since this
section is so completely satisfied
with what it has, since it is so
determined not to build roads, |
will not disturb the public peace
regardless of our suicidal policy.
My inclination to be where the
roads exist, or to be where they
are being built without the
knocks of croakers, to share in
their pleasures and profit and ex-
pense can not be questioned, so
it is useless to say | would like
to join the merry party. C. S. H.

BLANCHE BATES ON AUDIENCES.
Blanche Bates, the Charles Frohman
star, has her own ideas about the in
telligence and stupidity Of modern play
goers.
Every player" says Miss Bates. has
an instructive pleasure in studying, in
the first act, the sort Of audience to
which he is playing. No two audiences
are alike. For example, there is the
silly audience that invariably laughs and
applauds at the wrong time and in the
wrong places. Then there is the cold
