these war times. but as. it has been
two weeks since / wrote last l thought
7 would not let old Caroline fail to ap-
pear this week,
Bro Morrison preached here Satur-
dav night and Sunday, and also Sun
day night, to a small but very alton
tive congregation. We are glad to
have our preaching brethren to drop
in and preach for us. as we only have
regular preaching once month. Bro
Osborne, of the M. E. persuasion, is
the only preacher that comes regular
and he fails sometimes. Come again,
Bro. Morrison, we will give You
hearty welcome at any time. bro.
Morrison is of the Missionary Baptist
persuasion, and is very good talker.
HAY saving seems to be the order In
this section now days. and we are
having some fine hay saving weather.
We are going to need ..all the hay we
can put up, and the summer OF droutn
cut the hay crop very short, but our
farmers are working on the Usage
grass and rag weeds very heavily.
John Hunley and son Barney, are
working with Luke Dame in the nay
field, Luke is putting up quite lot
of rag weeds mixed with crab grass
etc. Luke has good deal of stock to
feed this winter and it will take lots
OF rough hay to carry him thru.

Mr.. Harris has quite a lot OF peas to
pick and is having some trouble to
get pickers.

Jas. Privett and Sam Kilgore pass
ed down the road Monday in quite
rush, going in the direction of Jasper.
He was going to the republican con-
vention we supposed, to nominate
man to try to defeat our old reliable
and hustling "Necker" Wilson, of
South Pittsburg, for the Legislature
to be elected next November, but we
think the man that beats old 'Necker'
will have to get move on himself.
w. C. Moore seems to be spending
the greater part of his spare time now
squirrel hunting, but hunting seems
to be about all the Is in it, as he
fails to bring any meat home with
him.

night with his nephew, Alvin Bill
Kingsley, and went squirrel bunting
Saturday morning, and seemed to en-
joy the hunt.

by Prof Louis Harris, is progressing
very satisfactorily to the greater part
