The long spell of dry weather from
which several sections of Haywood
county have been suffering for the
past three weeks has at least given
our farmers a good opportunity to
save their hay crops. The quality Of
hay marketed here this fall should be
unusually good.

Our merchants are daily receiving
car loads of goods preparatory for the
fall trade which bids fair to be unuse
ually heavy this season. Brownsville
merchants always carry the best and
plenty of it. Read the advertisements
in this paper and you will know just
where to go for the best goods and
most reasonable prices.

H. L. Currie will take to the Tri-
State Fair next week a drove of the
finest Poland China hogs to be found
anywhere. We know that this is true,
because Mr.. Currie has already,4g
lishfd ar enviAble repdtatfUE ut az
breeder Of Poland Chinas. There is noI
man in the whole country who has
won more first prizes on fine hogs
than he, and his exhibit this year will
be equal to the best ever shown.
We stated last week that the loo
wagons were doing great damage to
many Of our country roads. One Of
our farmer friends says that this may
De true, but that the automobiles are
doing far more damage than the log
wagons, and this too,may be true. But
both are here to stay, and the only
thing to do is to keep our roads in
good condition by extra work, under
skilled supervision. If this isn't done
look out for horrible roads this winter.
The first monthly meeting of the

year. The time will be spent in or
ganization and in the dicussion of a
number of subjects Of Importance to
all teachers of the county. Every tea
cher is urged to be present at this
meeting.
Brownsville has not yet received her
first bale of cotton for this season. At
this time last year several hundred
bales were being received daily and
the first bale was received the first
week in September. All Of which
goes to show that our crop is at least
three weeks later than the average.
In most sections of the county there
are prospects for a fairly good crop
provided, we have a late fall. An ear
ly frost, however, would cut the crop
down very much below an average.
Several sections Of the county are still
suffering for want of rain.
