CENTRAL ITEMS.

A movcmentison foot to establish
1 Sunday School in this community
Two reasons why our people are
SO anxious for a bridge One is chat
there is no church in this Settle
lnent and desire to attend services
al Red Bone. Another they want
to have their cotton ginned this fall
alta nearby gin 50 as to have q short
haul to bring seed home. From
what We can hear most farmers IN
this section win use cotton seed for
fertilizer and cut cut the guano bill
next year.
Rain is badly needed in our sec
tion. Oats are heading and will not
get high enough to cut unless rain
comes soon. Cotton and corn are
not coming up and spring garden
stuff is suffering
Everybody interested in the Sun
day School ace requested 10 meet at
the school house next Sunday at 3
oc lock sharp,
tits the desire If many to work
lp a community interest not only a
business way. but socially as well.
People want 80 get better acquaint-
ed with each other, the young peo-
pie want to get together and enjoy
themselves. Town people have
their meetings and social events,
why not the country people as well.
Let's all go to work t. this end and
make country life more attractive.
A ceunty organization Of the
Farmers Union is needed in Lee
county.
Some things rev settlers don't
like. Some lie county people have
no regard for law. Wild turkeys
are being shot here during the mat
ing season in violation Of law. Busy
farmers have no time to catch up
with these fellows who need to be
punished

BUSTED FROM RINK, WANTED
TO CLEAN UP ON OWNER

Boyd Harmon and Earl Kaufman
were ousted from the skating rink
last night because of unruly con-
duct. Their being put out aroused
their fighting ire and they were
going to lick the proprietor and the
floor manager when Marshal Engle
appeared on the scene. A few words
were exchanged, too impolite to NELL
ton, and that was all of the bout
that was staged. The air soon clear
ed, their tempers cooled and all was
quiet. The throng which had gath
cred to see the excitement quickly
scattered when the marshal appear
ed and the would be fighters disap-
peared.

-NEIGHBORHOOD TROUBLES

Neighborhood troubles have got
ten two west side families into court
again. Alexander Knight was a wit
ness in the trial of Murcer VS.. Me-
Combs in the district court last
week. Murcer won the suit and on
the way home with Mr.. Knight they
met Mr.. and Mrs. McCombs. The
outcome of the trial was mentioned
IN passing but they seemed to want
to continue the conversation and so
they walked on home together. The
argument grew warm before their
homes were reached and Wednes-
day McCombs had Knight arrested
for disturbing the peace. They
threshed it out in police court this
afternoon before Judge Porter, but
10 evrdict had been brought in at
$3.50 o'clock.
