Measles has made its appearance

ham, Ala.

received quite number of valuable
and useful presents. At noon a large
table was erected in the yard and it
fairly groaned under the load of good
things, where the guests were invited
and spent fully an hour trying to do
Justice to the meal. | am afraid if
Food Commissioner Hoover had APP.
peared on the scene he would have
said all were doing themselves an in
justice by eating too much. The aft
ernoon was spent in social chatting
and then the time came only too soon
for all to make their departure, ev-
cry one wishing Mrs. Stephens might
live to enjoy many other such gath
erings and dinners.
The slump in the price of cotton
doesn't seem to worry the farmers in
this community as they are not going
to sell until the price is in keeping
with the high prices of other COM
modities, as all know the crop of Sea
Island cotton is short and will be in
big demand.
1t looks now like the Farmers Co.
operative and Educational Union is
going to build drying and storage
house for their sweet potato crop.
This is only the first step and it is
hoped it will serve to cure corn, peas
and other products of the farm,
which are pestered by the weevil.
Real estate is changing hands oc-
cassionally in this vicinity. If we
can't get any reasonable roads to get
to our county site to dispose of pro-
duce we will have to look to some
other source of outlet for scuch.
Thanks to Col. Rogers for his letter
of information.
The protracted meeting starts at
Fellowship next Saturday and all are
cordially invited to attend.
