Hardy's Happenings.

Again we have had a lew lovely
days, though Sunday was real cold
on the northeast side of the house.
and we were glad to stay where the
wind did not strike US so forcibly
We hope it will stay clear so the
farmers can get some plowlng done
and oats sowed before it is too late,
Seems strange to speak of sowing
oats and planting corn in the same
breath, yet some are wanting to
plant corn early in March, and that
will be here before we get fixed,
especially if it doesn't stay clear.
Yes, tits time to plant another
garden for the rabbits. They need
something green as we'll as we.
They ate up 200 fine cabbage plants,
that were growing nicely, just be-
fore the freeze. 1t helped the poor
rabbits, but made US very mad then,
but if they had not eaten them the
freeze would have finished them.
So all is well, suppose.
We were surprised to find toma-
toes were selling in Augusta for Is
cents per quart, when onions were
Is cents per pounds, and, also,
white peas Is cents per pound, Irish
potatoes $500 per bushel, and 60
ing higher, and cabbage l2f cents
per pound. So some one had some
thing that the freeze did not get,
and they are making lots on their
truck now.
Some of the sick folks ere i'm
proving slowly, and we hope surely.
Mrs. S. Y. Bunch is still in bed;
too weak to sit up only in bed a
little, but we think she is some
better. The rest are well, as usual.
Mr.. Harry Bunch and family are
all right again.
Mr.. Medlock and family are get
ting on nicely.
Mr.. Ingram was quite sick at
home, and had a phone message to
come to Augusta. His wife was
quite sick, and was to be operated
on, so he went to see after her.
She was doing fairly well when we
heard last from her. Their two
children were still very sick with
the typhoid fever at their grand
fathers, Mr.. Wise, in Augusta, and
Mrs. Wise had grippe. Mrs. E. l..
Fouche was down there helping to
nurse them, which leaves Mr.. Fou-
che a widower.
Mrs. S. L. Medlock had relapse,
but is better now.
We were sorry to hear of all at
Mrs. Tom Briggs home having
been sick. Hope they are better
now.
The Woman's Missionary Societ!
met last Thursday at Mrs. Georgia
McKie's, and they missed their
president, Mrs. T. J. Briggs, very
much. The vice-president, Mrs.
Frances l'ownes, conducted the
meeting, but said she doesn't want
the president getting sick and leav-
ing it for her to do. They were
delighted to have Mrs. Sample os

such consecrated Christian lady
and great church worker. She spent
Wednesday night with Mrs. McKie
and returned home Thursday after
noon.
