it was surely hot and dry enough
all during the week for curing hay
and opening cotton.
Several farmers were considera-
bly, worried Saturday when the
clouds began to rise, as they had so
much hay to get up, and that being
Christmas eve" in Augusta, on
Mckinney ST., with the negroes,
there were none to be had to help
get it up. But with hard fast
work they succeeded in getting all
that was cut under shelter. Now
we would like very much to see a
good season of rain. The cotton
is opening very fast and has been
gathered quite fast, and marketed.
Several of the fields we noticed have
very little more to open the most of
it having already been picked. Well
it will soon be all out and sold.
Hardy's went to Sweetwater Sun
day and heard a very good sermon
by Rev. Mr.. Reynolds. We did not
get there in time for the text or for
baptizing. DR.. Traylor Briggs was
baptized Sunday. We were very
glad to see he was able to be out
and baptized. We thought he was
looking well, Was very glad to
see lis mother, Mrs. Ellie Briggs
out at church for the first time since
Mr.. Briggs death. She is looking
fine and we hope to see her out
often. We also saw Mrs. Georgia !
Hammond, Mrs. Bette Mckie and
Mrs. Fan Smith, among many 9th
ers at church.
We were very sorry to hear of
Mr.. John Bunch of Columbia, also
Mrs. John Bunch, being so desper-
ately ill, and certainly hope to hear
good news of them real soon. Were
sorry toahear DR.. Hugh Shaw is still
suffering so intensely from his bro
ken arm. Also to hear of Miss
Matte Shaw still having to be in
bed with her sprained foot. We
hope both of them may soon be re-
lieved.
