My, how busy the wood wagons

We have other kings here besides
the wooden ones. There is John g.
McKie, Jr., who will soon have
placed on the G. and w. G. right
of way 1000 oak cross ties. Think
of $1,000 before any cotton is plant

The grain crop is looking so
we'll. Wheat, oats, and rye all over
our hills hold them together. Some
clover and alfalfa patches are here
also.
Farmers are getting ready for
planting, not that they are going to
plant in the next few days but have
dedided to get their land in good
shape. Briers and bushes are being
cut and gullies filled. Some ten or
fifteen thousand peach, trees have
been put out this fall and some let
tuce is being put out ,for market.
The strawberry patches are looking
we'll.
Some of our men will go to Nc
Cormick tomorrow to indulge in the
auction sale of town lots. We hate

Edgefeld but Mccormick is calling
to US to come. We do not know
what will be the outcome.
