ELIXIR SPRINGS.

, The crowd at this popular healt
resort is very small just now, OWN
to the cold, damp weather. In Jul
and early In August every room wa
filled and the season up to the pres
ent has been about the average. Min
Host HOuchin is caring well for hi
guests and no one is neglected. HI,
4 sets an excellent table. A large gar
den furnishes vegetables of every
sort, while old ham and yellow-leg
ged chicken seem to just roll in.
Crops in this section of Casey are
fine. There will be bumper crop OF
corn, and as is not frequent the
case, the uplands show about as
good promise of king corn as the
low lands. This is due to excessive
rains which fell early in the season
and flooded the Green river bottom.
The hay crop is the best in years.
Wheat was about an average. Very
little tobacco is grown in this immed-
late section.
A good deal of old corn is changing
hands at about $3.50. Tombs bro
theirs are hauling big lot to the Nc
Kinney Milling Co. at that price.
Casey is great corn county and there
is yet lot of old corn in her barns.
The timber interest is growing less
and less as the years go by. Nearly
all of the desirable timber has been
cut and marketed and saw and stave
mills are few and far between here
now. Considerable timber is hauled
through the county, however, some of
1T coming from Russell and even
more remote counties. Mckinney is
the nearest shipping point.
The pixies in this county are not in
good condition. About the worst is
where the Casey and Lincoln lines
come together, near this place, and
each county seems to be doing her
darndest to see which can Guido the
other in the way of bad road. The
so-called pike from here to Mckinney
is too bad to mention save without an
oath.
Willis T. Coulter, one of the best
men in the county, is lying at deaths
door at his home in North Middle
burg, short distance from here. He
was troubled with gall-stones and
other ailments set in. His death is
only a question of a few DAYS and

In all of his long life. May a rich re-
ward be his In the land that is fairer
than day. A loving wife sits by his
bedside day and night and ministers
to his every want, and prays that he
may be spared to her. May a merci-
full God give her strength to bear
the loss that is soon to come to her.
Middleburg and Yosemite, subur-
ban towns of Elixir Springs, are put
ting on style with electric lights fur
nlshed by Sam j. Bell, who lived sew
eral years in Lincoln county. Both
OF these places have seemingly taken
on new life of late and are growing
nicely. Middleburg has an excellent
graded school and that may be one
reason that that place is so rapidly
coming to the front. Yosemite has a
summer resort in Jason Lawhorn's
Golden Dawn, which is enjoying a
liberal patronage this summer.
M. X. Wilson, one of the hustling-
est farmers in this section, sold to |
j. c. Coulter seven eight hundred |
pound heifers at six and half cents. |
He has pair of good three-year-old |
mules that he will sell at bargain.
Mrs. McCarty has had as guests
her sister, Mrs. W. B. Hill, of STAN
ford and her son, Spalding Hill. They
irove over Sunday in the latter's |
'Hup" and while Spalding was cut
ing some didoes for the benefit of |
he Mt. Salem youngsters, the axle
broke and it took him all day Monday
md most of Tuesday to repair it. /
slrs. McCarty also had as her guests
MIR. and Mrs. AID Jones, of Excelsior
Springs, Mo.
Mrs. NJ. S. Jones is with Winchester
'elatives for a week or so.
J. c. Coulter, who attended the
stanford fair, says that the saddle
take brought out eight of the best |.
lorses he ever saw. A large crowd
would have attended the fair from
his section had not the weather con-
litions been so bad.
The Middleburg Deposit Bank,

INES. The deposits hang around the
'7O, 900 mark and the banks Gus
Omers have all been well cared for
IS to loans. The bank is proving an in
titution of great worth to our peo-
lie, who wonder how they ever got
long without it.
W. I. Miller, the Middleburg buggy
lealer and blacksmith, has added un-
to his business. He has Sc
ured hearse and can care for fun
rails on short notice.

The apple crop this year is the
eaviest in the recollection of the "

reen and dried and preserves for ii
ext winter and an abundance of t
weetcider now. There is no brandy a

, they are selling mighty cheap. The t
atermelon crop is almost a failure.
he blackberry crop was about the
verage.
There is very little political talk n
