HARDY's HAPPENINGS.
Bad Roads Make Travel Diff
cult. Service at Hardv's. Mis-
sion Society Meets With
Mrs. Mckie.

We have been having such imiser-
able3 weather and roads that we
haveipitied those who were obliged
to go out In the weather and oyer
the roads. Then too, we bad some
such. cold days that the school chill
dren = would almost freeze. The
three DeLaughter children have to
.leave'home by seven O'Clock to get
to North Augusta in time, also the
fourMcKie children leave a few
minutes after seven. They also go
to North Augusta.
Mrs. Harry Bunch and her little
folksslcave just after eis ht to go to
Centenary Hill school. The two
smallest only come a third of a
mile and are almost frozen when
they get this far. The other two,
we t.now, suffer before reaching
school. Those little fellows that
have to walk over the cold wet
ground, and through wet, frosty
weeds, surely have rough time
also.
School days though, are the hap.
piest Of all, if we could realize it at
the time. But as a rule, all chill
dran consider them their hardest
days, nntil they have grown old
and look back, think of the many
happyitimes they have had at school
and wish they had taken more ad-
vantage of their opportunities that
they wasted then, thinking it 80
hard to go to school such weather.
I often dream of being back at
the dear old Haughton Institute and
wake 70 realize, tis only a dream"
The new Haughton building does
not resemble the one that was de-
stroyed by fire last 22nd of March.
The new one will be grand when
finished:
Sunday being service day at Har-
dy's,5 we. attended and the day
+brIgkt1nfead as We went, until the
clouds had vanished, leaving the
beautiful blue sky. Such welcome
sight, by the time we came out of
church. There were no automo-
biles there, as it was about all the
mule obiles' could do to get
through the mud Very few of
those even, were there.
The w. M. Society is to meet
next Thursday with Mrs. Georgia
McKie at her home. We hope that
there will be full attendance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Fouche attend
ed service at Hardy's with Mrs.
Frances Townes, Mr.. Martin Med
lock, and Mr.. Ingram with MIR.
Harry Bunch.
Mesdames Frances Townes and
Hortense Fouche visited Mrs. Har-
ry Bunch Sunday afternoon.
The Meriwether Agricultural
Club met Saturday and enjoyed an
"oyster stew" instead of "barbe-
cue" Mr.. Milton Barker was vot-
ed in as member Of the club.
Mr.. Herbert Bunch attended the
Richmond Co. Club "cue" on Thurs
day and heard Mr.. Worsham talk
on the boil weevil question and
what the farmers should plant. If
MIR. Weevil" does take possessio'
which he says, is as as sure to come,
as the sun to rise.
There seems to be a great many
hogs dying from cholera over in the
Sweetwater section. We hope that
it will not spread over this far.
Those that die should be burned, 80
as to keep dogs and buzzards from
spreading the disease.
We are very sorry to hear of Mr..
John Scott having lost his horse
while at Edgefeld. HORSES cost al
most as much as an automobile now
adays.
Mr.. Henry Medlock's little baby
boy has been right sick with Group,
but is better now.
Mrs. Frances Townes had two
chills last week. They have not
stopped, even during the winter
What can those people over in the
mosvuito zone expect for the sum,
mer if chills continue now?
We had lots of rain Monday
morning, accompanied by high
winds. Another dark, bad day.
