HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Rains Refresh Crops. Interest
ing Missionary Meeting
at Hardy's. Farmers
Club.

Our time for the refreshing show
ers has come, and every thing shows
it's appreciation of the rain. They
have walked up and look bright;
taken on new life, almost everything,
though some of the trees look badly,
yet.
We attended the W. M. S. meet
ing at Mrs. Stevens Thursday, and
had very good number out, not
W thstanding the clouds and
sprinkle. The president, Mrs. J.
T. Briggs, was trying to get every
one appointed to their duties, ready
for our W. M. Association at
Hardy's, Aug, $500. I was real
ly surprised to find there were so
many in the community that did
not know anything about it;-that
the w. M. S. Association was to
be at Hardy's, or when. That is
due to the fact that they do not at
tend the meetings or church, for it
has been talked of at each place for
year. We hope all may find out,
and come help US entertain the dele
gates, and enjoy the good ladies we
expect to be there. They will be
sorry they missed it, if they do not
come, when they hear of how others
enjoyed it.
Saturday 2lst was the Club Cue
at Meriwether Hall, which so
many of US enjoyed. Several of
the gentlemen gave short talks on
side crops; and just here. let me say,
if those who speak up there would
stand up to the front, and face the
audience, and then talk louder and
palmer, we who are interested could
hear more of what. they say, provid-
ed there was more quiet inside, and
out on the piazza. They discussed
what prices the farmers should pay
for the picking of cotton, and l
think, as we'll as could hear, so
cents to start with should be the
standard. Three gentlemen were
appointed to select subject of i'm
portance to the farmers for discus
sion and lead off on it at the next
meeting in September. Messrs.
ALVIN Stevens, Tom Adams, and
John Mealing were the ones select
ed.
The ladies enjoy meeting these
days and discussing their work, also,
and gain many good ideas from
each other about their housekeeping.
1t seems all are trying to save all
the vegetables and fruits they can,
while they have them Canning is
in full operation at almost every
home. We hear of some drying
beans, squash, okra, corn, apples
and peaches. We have not tried
drying, but have put beans in brine.
Made corn relish, canned corn, okra
and tomatoes, and tomatoes by
themselves, five dozen of them; can
ned peaches and blackberries, jam
med blackberries, and jellied some,
and preserved plums, and jellied
some of these. All of this means
work: hot, tiresome work.
Misses Harrison of Trenton, have
been visiting their brother and sis-
ter, Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison, and
returned home Saturday. Mrs.
Matte Harrison and Julia Wise
also visited Mrs. Harrison, and the
Misses Marguerite, Mary, and Pearl
McKie.

throp.

pleasant visit.

visit to Mr.. and Mrs. T. L. Harley.

Banyon, and Miss Lila Bunch have
been considerably under the weather
the last few days.

prove, we are sorry to say. Hope
