he heard every day. Many new
houses are going up in town.
Mr.. J. o. Marshall has inst paint
ed all Of his outbuildingS, lot fence
and tenant houses. He has also put
new cover on his house and every
thing around him looks new and
spring.like.
The long.looked-for depot at
Meriwether will be completed this
week. Think of having a nice Of
fee, two waiting rooms and large
wareroom, when all these years we
have had only one little room FIR
ALL For all we know our agent will
feel like he has been promoted.
Mrs. Fannie Middleton and Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel McMie are to build
nice homes just out of the incorpo-
rate limits of Meriwether, and Mr..
II. A. Adams will build on Main
street overlooking the new depot.
Other improvements are promised,
if the peach crop brings good
price.
We can almost hear the buzz of
two more new autos for this spring.
We can hear three saw mills
from our place no" every day and
a big plaalng mill from North Car
Dina will come to us so"n. We
are glad to have these good people
come in and be with Us. rney will
be here five years OF more.
Farm work is in good shape.
Most of the land has been broken
we'll. aud more leaf mole is being
used than we ever saw before, also
less guano.
Up to this time very little corn
has been planted. Mr. Hill Ryan
was the first to plant cotton last
week.
Both Clark Hill and Meriwether
people are quite well. Mr. L G Bell
was in bed one day last week but
was out at Sunday school Sunday
feeling much better.
We have a good Sunday school at
Clark's Hill, though very small.
We have good teachers, live in
number, and some splendid schol-
ars. We also have the best super
intendent in the county. We also
have good prayer meeting that
follows our Sunday school. brolher
J G McKie, oar superintendent,
conducted the meeting for us yes
terday and made splendid talk.
Our leaders are selected in alpha
belca order, so every man has
Sunday that is his in the prayer
meeting, from the old to the young.
Some OF our young men will read
and some one makes talk for him.
We do this in order to give our
young men something to do.
We were glad to have with us
yesterday Mr. Ed Spires of Morgana.
He was the guest of Mr. John d
Baxley.
Miss Etie Adams and Brother
Fred were also with US in Sunday
school. They spent most Of the day
with MIR and Mrs S I Adams.
Miss Ellie Wideman of Augusta
has been spending some days with
Mrs D w Sharpton.
All Clark's Hill sends congratu'
lions to Mrs Ethel Hughes of
Hephzibah, Ga, for the arrival of
of that fine boy.
If the supreme court does not
soon give us the new county, we are
afraid some men on this side will
have their right arm dislocated,
We never had so much handshak-
ing in all our lives before. Edge
field candidates come through here
only to trim around the edge. He
shakes our hand and says with a
smile, i don't blame you people, l
would want a new county too.
Oh, the Mccormick candidates!
Whenever we see stranger we ask
him what office he is running for as
soon as he speaks. Some one said
last week that we have candidate
for everything except Clerk of
Court and that if one did not soon
announce for that, we would get
one from Sears & Roebuck.
We were glad to have talk with
Uncle Iv Morgan on the train one
day last week. He is on visit to
relatives and friends in Parksville
and Red Oak Grove. He was look
inc well-not day older than when
he left old Edgefeld. He told ns
