IL O'Clock preaching by Rev. lsbell

HATTIE AXE

This is May 18th, but the north wind
and early morning fires in sitting
rooms are more suggestive OF Febru-
ary. No frost, however, as night was
cloudy and windy, and wind is moving
southwark again. Those who began
to chop cotton yesterday are general
! iy going right along with it today.
Some deem it more prudent to not
thin any more until the weather grows
( warm again. Think they are right.
The WIRE worm is beginning to ap-
lpear in some crops and this would sug-
gest the postponement of thinning as
long as possible of cotton and corn,
for the worm has proved very active
heretofore in the thinning out pro
cess.
Our community was somewhat
shocked at the killing of VIII Langs-
ton, and there is quite spirit of in
dlgnation prevalent here. Langston
has for several years been one of
our neighbors, having moved
from here last fall, and he has many
friends here. While perhaps not an
angel, he was considered a good man.
He has been rudely taken from his
wife and children. Human life is
held entirely too cheap and it devolv-
es upon our courts and jurieS to say
so in a few emphatic convictions and
executions.
George II. Lacy, the present asses
sor of lizard county, came to Jackson
county last winter to pick cotton, and
decided to remain here for crop this
year, renting from A. j. Bowden. He
went last week to Little Rock to con-
suit the attorney general as to his
right to assess by deputy. Receiving
a favorable opinion he went to lizard
county, arranged to have assessment
made, and is now at home again look
ing after his crop and doing shop work
for c. A. Tyer.
| John Linville of Cord is over do
| ing carpenter work for j. w. Lindley.
John is a good workman and is al
ways gladly welcomed by his many
friends here.
Back water is now going down rap
idly, permitting stock to get back
on range in some places.
Cultivation of crops is going on rap
idly, but cool weather prevents salts
factory growth. Very few that are
not done planting cotton The plant
is coming up nicely and sideharrows,
scrapers and plows now being used on
lit extensively.
| Strawberries are now ripe and Serb
bier is eating them three times day
with an occasional fill between meals.
Sam Hinson has an attack of maia-
rial rheumatism that stops him from
work and causes considerable pain.
DR.. Slayden is treating him.
We believe that smallpox is now
under control and hope to have no
further spread, almost all who have
teen attacked being now we'll.
