.OCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, July 2.-The
leather is hot and dry now and we
.e In noed of rain in this section.
aie garden vegetables are failing fast
I1r the lack of rain and soon will fail
give us anything more from their
tngdom. Surely everyone has been
fessed from their gardens, with all
Iqnds of good things to eat.
Ii Well, Mr.. J. N. Gallman is in this
Immunity today thrashing wheat.
early everyone in this section sowed
ISme wheat, but the only trouble is
hey never sowed enough but even a
lill turn or few bushels at this time
hn be a great help to those who
lave to buy at the present high
irices.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Kelley, little
dargaret and little Ray Fowler,
ldessrs. T. B. Gault and Halt Horn
ind the writer motored to Great Falls,
,. c., yesterday to see Mr.. and Mrs.
p. l.. Gault of that place, going in
Mr. .Kelly's Ford car, making a trip
Of go miles in less than four hours,
part of the road being very hilly and
rocky. The roads through the eastern
part of Chester is very level and in
GOOD condition.
/ From Chester to Great Falls there
is some fine farming lands and we
saw many fine fields of corn. From
what we saw in our travel Chester
county will make her part of the.
bread stuff for the larger acreage, it
seems to me, is in corn.
II -
week This is in the southwestern
part of Union county and a beautiful
farming section. Stopped at Wilburn
Bros. store. Mr.. Hampton Wilburn,
a kind and courteous gentleman, made
me acquainted with two good looking
young ladies. 1 met them at the
fountain of cold drinks, where they
were being served-to cold drinks. Boys,
will no tell you their names this
time, but they were two prominent
young ladies of that section and both
are school teachers. / will leave you
to guess and go on. 1 next went to
another Wilburn store, stopping there
awhile, meeting Messrs. Wilburn and
Murphy. The Wilburns, I find, are as
plentiful as the Gaults on Pea Ridge.
l went to Mr.. w. T. Jackson's home,
where we found sickness and sorrow
and a great deal of trouble had been
in that home. Mr.. Jackson a few
months ago lost son, soldier boy.
He died on the border and was sent
home dead, which is sad to him and
his wife as there is only Mr.. jackson
an his wife at home and Mrs. Jack
son is lying on her bed sick, unable
to be up. Mr. Jackson is stout man
for his age; he is IA years old and is
able to farm. Says he always makes
enough corn to do him; has none to
buy. These people have my sympa-
thy in the loss Of their dear boy
1 thought as he told me of his trouble
OF other dear boys that may have tc
go and might never come back alive

Cedar Hill section with Mr.. Ed Smith
and family. Mr.. Smith is another
progressive farmer in that section, has
old corn now in the crib, but we don't
find many with corn in the crib at this
time. We were treated with kind hos
pitality by him and his family.
