Emmet, May 13.-Health S
reasonably good.
Farmers are making good use
of the fair weather now, some
planting and some cultivating
corn.
The first planting of cotton is
ready for work, but the stand is
considered poor. This, we think,
is due in part to damaged seed.
The recent storms left their
mark in this vicinity, blowing
down timber, damaging fruit
trees and washing the land very
badly in places. Among other
damages was the killing of a two
year old colt belonging to John
Grumpy, the colt being struck by
lightning. Ed Jenkins was stand
ing near the colt at the time, but
received no shock.
We hear some complaint about
sweet potatoes rotting after be
ing bedded, the writer also has
the same trouble.

(B) All, you poor, ignorant

as to you farmer folks, it don't
take much for you, so if you will
vote to move the court house you
will help me to have all these
things. Don't YOU think youI

der of the afternoon was devoted to
social enjoyment, during which music
was rendered on the piano ard violin,
and also by the members of tho party.
