TESTIMONY or THE TRUCKERS

The first person that we accosted
early Monday morning was Capt. I. H.
Johnson. We asked him what damage
II any he thought the freeze had done,
and he promptly replied that he had
not been out to his farm, but that he
thought that everything had been kill
ed, and did not expect to find single
plant surviving.
An hour or two afterwards he said
that he had made a careful inspection
of so acres of cantaloupes and did not
find a single plant injured. If canta-
loupes had escaped he thought that
tother crops no less tender had far
ed as well.
Soon DR.. r. T. Weaver, of the Oak
Crest Farms Company, consisting OF
something over 600 acres, dropped in
to say that their fields had been thor
oughly inspected and the examination
had revealed the fact that neither can
taloupes. watermelons, tomatoes, Gu.
cumbers, Irish potatoes, ETC., had been
nipped. but all had passed through the
arctic furnace and came out no more
scorched than the notable incide re-
corded i'm biblical history.
DIR. Weaver, of course, was feeling
very jubilant.
The doctor says that he has pur-
chased a moving picture outfit, and
gave an exhibition last Saturday for
the first time. He had done this prin.
cipally to give the employees of the
farm some mode of enjoyment so as
to make the daily grind less irksome
and burdensome. He reports the little
community of Oak pleasantly tranquil
and prosperous.
Editor Collens of the Summerfield
Chronicle dropped in to say that veg
citation of all kinds in the SummerfielC
district had escaped.
Mr.. Walter Ellison, who is one o.
our largest truckers, gave a similar
statement.
So we think that we can confidentl,
affirm that we have made very mar
row, but almost miraculous escape.
We certainly feel in most buoy
ant and rejoiceful mood.
