LOCKHART JUNCTION

weather the past week has been fine
for gathering. Cotton has just taken
start to open in some places. A
great many are talking of its opening
so slowly. Well, the most of the cot
ton is late. 1 see now that the fields
are getting white everywhere / go.
The busy season is on at last and there
will be a rush from now on until it is
all picked out. The price is tending
upwards it seems and hear some few
say they are going to get 80 cents for
their cotton. Well, believe it will
bring that if it is not marketed too
fast.
This writer met Messrs. w. C. Fau-
cett, A. A. Adams and M. E. Hill,
better known as "Frog Eye" These
are soldier boys who have been home
for while on furlough. These young
men are from Pinkney township, but
but Mr.. Hall. He is from North Car
olina. They are with Co. E of Union
company. Mr.. Frost Walker is their
captain. They have been moved from
Columbia to Greenville. They all look
we'll, and say they are treated well. I
was glad to meet these young men as
1 know them all and I will say, Boys,
be good and let it be said of you if
you should live to come back that you
are the same good boys; have that
same good name that you went off
with.
attended the box supper at the
Fair Forest or Page school house as
better known now, last Saturday
night. This was given by the little
Sunbeam girls, Misses May Johnson
and Myrtle Reaves are the leaders of
this Sunbeam band. These girls have
their meetings every Sunday after
noon at the school house. They read
the Bible and other things of interest,
as they tell me they work for mis-
sions. They are doing a good work.
There was large crowd at the sup
per and they made nice little sum
of money. There was fun for every
one. Mrs. Lester of Jonesville rem
dered some fine music on the piano;
also making recitation. Miss May
Johnson gave recitation. There was
cake walk, a guessing contest and
other amusements.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Kelly, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Lee Gault and Miss Margaret
Fowler motored to Chester Sunday.
Miss Ella Eargle and Miss Sallie
Cunningham, who are teaching school
at Leeds, spent the weekend with
Mrs. w. H. Page and Mrs. Lester
Reeves.
We hear today that Mr.. R. w.
Adams, who lives near Kelton, fell
off a load of wood he has on his
wagon and the wagon ran over him,
bruising him up pretty badly. We are
in hopes he is not seriously hurt.
must say for Mr.. w. H. Page, who
is township commissioner of Jones'
vile township, has had some good
work done on the road near Lockhart
Junction on what is known as the Orr
hill. The neighbors around in this
section helped. Has dragged down and
widened out this road. So now two
automobiles can pass and it is not
near so steep. Again, he is the only
commissioner that I have seen with a
shovel. He doesn't only superintend
but gets down in the ditch himself
with his shovel and helps.
| Well, we don't read any more from
our correspondent writer, G. T. G.
He was faithful writer to The Times
but he is gone now and it does appear
to me that there will be or is an
echo of his voice that will live
throughout endless ages. heard some
say there were going to clip his las,
letter and keep in memory of him.
Now you seed our good works follow
us, as the wise man said, "a good
name is better to be chosen than great
riches.
I see that the editor, L. M. Rice
will get out daily paper. I think
that is the thing. Why shouldn't Un-
