LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Spt 6.-The
past week has been cool and cloudy
with some rain. 1t has been bad on
fodder pulling, but behind the clouds
is a silver lining. 1t will be all right
by and by.
AS see it, there is sure a fine corn
crop. believe there is more molasses
cane planted than l ever saw before.
There will be lots made up into mo-
lasses and then there will be great
deal left for feed.
If the farmer can realize 10 cents
for his cotton this fall business will
be better again, for the farmer is
the backbone of the world and when
he is hunt the whole world is hurt.
We all hope to see better times. l
would like to hear of the war be-
tween the nations coming to a close
tion and would, | believe, to a certain
extent stop the loss of so many lives.
Have you e. stopped to think how
well it is with us all, when the South
has not been called to shoulder arms?
When we have peace in our own
country we should be so thankful.
Well, Mr.. Hope, the superintendent
of education, and the right man in the
right place, as he has been teacher
for number of years, visited at the
Gault school house by invitation from
the teachers, Misses Smith and Nc
whirter. He was in his auto and had
with him Misses Aisle Smith, Mary
Fleming and Annie Tinsley.
Miss Fleming is organizing School
Improvement associations in the rural
schools of the county. She organized
one at the Gault school house and
elected her officers for the work.
This writer joined this company of
Boosters" for Elford Grove school
house, where they have another in
at the place, where we enjoyed the
speeches made by Prof. Hope, Misses
Mary Fleming and Aisle Smith.
They also organized their associa-
tion at that place.
The good people of that commun-
ity gave picnic dinner on. that day.
There was a large pot of hash served
| and everything good to eat for the
| inner man and everyone present en-
| joyed a nice time.
Miss Sallie Cunningham, who has
been teaching at the Mallory school
for the past month, is at her SISTERS,
Mrs. A. L. Gault, for whife.. SAS
Miss Selig Gault, of Union, was up
to see her brother, Mr.. w. G. Gault,
who has been sick for a few weeks
| with fever. He is better at this writ
ing.
Messrs. L. H. Davis and R. Nj.
| Bowins told me of their trip to Chat
tanooga, Tenn. They took advantage
of the excursion rates and said they
had a good time.
l forgot to tell in my last letter
| hnt Of
county visited relatives and friends in
this county. Mr.. Davis is violin
player and gave some good music
at the home of Mr.. D. c. White,
where they both played for their
many friends.
Mr.. P. d. Burgess of Fair Forest
section is visiting his sister, Mrs. j.
B. Lancaster of this community.
Mr.. Millard Page, with Misses
Esther Palmer and Clara Stehle of
Jonesville, were visitors in this sec
ton and attended Sunday school
Sunday afternoon.
I met Mr.. James NJ. Green of the
Fair Forest section in Jonesville the
other day. He was glad to meet me.
He says crops are very good in his
section.
Mr.. j. G. Garner celebrated his list
birthday Friday, the 3rd of Septem-
ber, with his many friend, who were
invited to take dinner with him. This
he gives every birthday 1t is hoped
that this good man will enjoy many
more such occasions.
The sad accident that Mr.. Clarence
Black of Jonesville met with last Fri
day afternoon when he met collision
with the passenger train which caused
his death, should be warning to all.
This is very sad thing TO his father,
mothers, brothers and sisters. Of
course he was nearest and dearest to
them and gone so soon, in this way.
This is indeed sad to his many friends
as well. / will say that | was one
of his friends and he was a friend
to me. He, it seemed, would ENJOY
being with me as much as he would
his younger friends, as we always
met so socially together He, always
met me with smile and with. warm
welcome. Of course what | say now
will do him no good, but want to
express this for the benefit of his
friends who chance to read this.
/ will say for him this kind dispo-
sition he had and social as he was
believe was :. part of christianity and
at the general roll call up yonder he
may be there. He had many friends
who will mourn his sad death and the
family has the sympathy of many
friends. Moxy.
