Now spring is on her way;

In joy the young leaves play"
Spring is now on fer way, but as

A young man in our town wants to
know what did the catamount to any
way. And I want to know what did
Tan lac?
Like the Observation-Disclosures
Like the old darky who caught the
morning star going away: "I
kotched' him going off again."
Mr.. R. G. A. Jeter. who is holding
down a job with the Bonsell Construc-
ton company, building a railroad
bridge over Cooper river at Charles

Rev. j. c. Boulware flied his ap-
pointment at the Methodist church
Sunday and preached a fine sermon
from Ps. SLIP, 13. In fact. he
preached two sermons that day, as he
attended the Sunday school at the
Baptist church and made talk to the
Bible class on the lesson, which was
within itself sermon.
The school here was taught last
week in TIE Baptist church. but Prof.
Littleiohn has been trying to get Il
house with separate rooms. but the
question of chairs or seats is the
drawback there: so it is not definitely
known just how they will get along
until vacation time
Mrs. David Baldwin died at the
poor house farm last Saturday and
was buried at Gilliam's Chapel Sunday.
Mr.. Baldwin is superintendent of the
poor house farm this year, having
moved from Fish Dam township,
where he and his wife spent most of
their life.
Mr.. R. E. Moss, the section master
ssere, had a few days off two weeks
f.&o, and visited his old home on the
lder of North and South Carolina,
r Blacksburg. He had been to the
lvention of the Southern's old en-
(yees and received gold medal, as
ont who has been in the service of
the road 25 years.
A negro working on farm here
lighted cigarette and threw the
"burnt out" match by the wayside,
and went on ploughing. Later he saw
smoke behind him, and found that
leaves were on fire and a considerable
place burned from where he threw the
match STEM Soon this fire would have
been in broomsedge field, which
leads up to saw mill, with lumber
around and big pile of saw dust dry
on top, and there was strong wind
blowing. There might have been
fire loss, and all from the habit of
smoking.
Generally, farmers are we'll up with
plowing, all of this kind of work be-
ing much farther advanced than for
several years. But it will be sometime
yet before it is time to plant cotton
seed. and then there may be much
cool wet weather, which is detrimental
to termination of seed, or growth of
plants. so it may be yet awhile "be-
fore planting time. 1t is raining this
a. m.
brother and I have just finished
building farm bridge, putting 1Ox1O
inches 20 feet oak sills across

lieve it is one of the best wooden
bridges in the county.
