New Cars Galore.

the wind was real cold all day. Bu,
although the wind blew a gale all
day it. was hot wind. And every.
thing is so very dry.
Some one was telling me in Au.
gusta Saturday that the lakes in
Florida are drying up from such ex-
tended dry weather and so much
wind. 1t seems to strike every one
with the same idea that they never
remember having so muCl wind and
dry weather. / very much fear we
will have very wet summer and
the grass will take possession Of
the crops if it ever comes up during
the dry spell. The men talk crops
and politics now and how much the
grain needs rain as well as other
things.
Ladies want rain for their gar
dcns. This is also their season for
vying with each other in the chick
en- crop. The crows are breaking mp
hens nests and eating eggs equal to
the dogs.
Mrs. G. w. Medlock had bad
luck with her chickens, lost 80
many from cholera aud now Mrs.
Georgia McKie is losing hers with
it. We have been threatened with
it several times in our flock, but fed
saltz, sulphur and soda i'll dough
and put carbolic acid. permaneanate
of potash and turpentine in the
drinking water, and have not lost
more than three. Those we burned.
We have a good many, over hum
dred off. Some of our neighbors
tell US they have IL, some none.
Sunday, Easter, was service day
over at Dothan and we saw MIR. and
Mrs. McKie Scott 90 up to attend
services. Also Mr.. Philip Markert
and familysgo up in their neWsesr'
to attend Dothan. Mrs. Georgia
McKie carried Mrs. Frances Hownes
to service in Augusta in her new
car.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Townes and
baby spent Sunday with ssMrs. Julia
Townes returning to Aiken in the
afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Bunch and
children spent an hour or so with
Mrs. S. V. Bunch Sunday afternoon.
She is feeling very badly, still. Mr..
Harry Bunch is quite unwell and
the children have all been right
sick during the past week.
We attended the woman's mis-
sionary meeting at Mrs. Frances
Townes last Thursday afternoon
and enjoyed it very much.
Mrs. Julia Townes and Mrs. T.
7. Briggs attended the meeting at
Aiken and gave us some very inter.
esling accounts of what interest
ed them most at that meeting. Both
were very much impressed by Mrs.
Tillman's great ability and gracious
manner of carrying out her points,
and conducting the meeting. Just as
every one is obliged to be with that
lovely christian lady.
We were glad to have Miss En-
mie Lanham with us also at our
meeting. She had attended the Al
ken meeting as well as visiting Miss
Georgia Reese, over at the bunga-
10 with Mr.. John Reese.
Mr.. Lu.her Reese has been hav-
ing chills but we are glad to see
him out again. Miss Georgia hopes
to get out of the reach Of the ma
laria by going to stay with MIR.
John Reese awhile.
The Gardnerville school children
had an Easter egg hunt en- Good
Friday aud enjoyed it immensely.
Some two young men on their way
home from town ran into Miss Be-
atrice Stevens buggy as she and the
teacher, Miss Blrmes Barker, were
going home from the egg hunt and
tore Miss Stevens buggy and one
of the young men in the car up
pretty badly. Fortunately / did nol
| hear of any one being hurt.

es will be held this year, second
ESunday in May. Every one is invit-
ed to come prepared for all day
services, and enjoyable time.
Next Sunday being fifth Sunday

hoboth and we wish so much it
were possible for us to be there
with all those good, hospitable peo-
pie. But we cannot make the trip
in one day with Balam and have nc
automobile. Guess we will be al
home, thinking of those who will
