have slept thru that racket. He
oTened his eyes and looked W. He
saw a ring OF black heads looking

dancing IN the sharp eyes watching
him. The instant n was known that
he was awake the noise redoubled.

Bobby drew back his lips and
snarled. and AZ that his tormentors
fairly shrfeked with Eiee. Then
Biseky dropped little stick down

feet and started 90 climb up. His
tormentors took TO the air and
screamed louder than ever. Bobby
stopped. what was the use OF TO
Ing ND where they could get at him
They would pull his fur and make
him most uncomfortable. and he
knew he couldn't catch one OF them

sat glaring MP at them and telling
them what dreadful things he would
do 10 them n ever he should catch

They certainly were having great
fun.

visiting his sister, Mrs. w. ]. Spencer
Mr.. Sam Shirer has been over to
Fairfield on business.
Mes1rs. Clifton Ledingham and
Leroy Williams of Bishopville have
been visiting Mr.. S. W. Allen.
Folks have been catching some
nice fish in the Dinkins pond lately.
Occasionally big loads of wheat
come in to the mill. Did you ever ca;
any bread from the homemade flour ?
Is it not fine? We have been feast
ing on homemade, great hominy
and it is great hominy. All home
made things are the best; the seams
may not look as neat, but they don't
rip at an unlucky moment; the but-
tons don't come OFF so easy; the pock-
cts are not apt to leak.
Folks are planting cotton.
