The Weather..

After week of settled weather, (the
first since the first week in july unset
tied and showery weather again set in
Wednesday, with showers over a good
portion of the county. The week of
sunshine was taken advantage of by
the farmers, and large amount of hay
was cut. The grass has grown wonder
fully since the wet weather set in, and
if the weather will become settled once
more normal hay crop will be saved.
More corn will be shredded for fodder
this year than ever before as there are
more cattle and better cattle in the
county to be fed this winter than ever
before. One farmer in the southern
part of the county has 1900 acres in
corn, and said he intended saving every
stalk of it.

The Soldier Boys Leave.

Capt. J N. Holman's cavalry com
pany, Troop II, which has been quar-
tered in Macon and drilling here for the
past month, left Thursday noon for the
camp at Jackson, Miss, where they
will remain until transferred, probably
to Alexandria, La. There was large
crowd of relatives and sweethearts at
the station to bid the soldier boys a
farewell, and the same scenes were en-
acted as have taken place in every town
and city in the United States the past
month. There are only a few left in
the county now who can recall the
scenes when the soldier boys left for
their encampm nts ~ ensacola and
Canton in 1861, and instead Of one com
pany there wer, several, and there
we're probably more NoXubee soldiers
killed on the battIefelds of the Civil
war than will enter this war. AS evil
dence of this read the roll on the Con-
federate monument in the court house
square.
1t can be said Of the soldier boys who
we're mere for the past month or six
weeks, that they deported they deported
themselves in most gentIemanly man
ner. There VS. no drunkenness o.
rowdyism. and 10 trouble whatever
was given the evil authorities.
