HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Regular Service at Hardy's.
Cars Stick in Mud. w. M.
S.. to Meet With Mrs.
ST Briggs.

Sunday being service day at
Hardy.s we decided to try and
make the trip and see if there
would sbe any one out. Yes, we
found others that braved wind and
weather, most all though, was the
roads,
| My! I venture to say, every man,
woman and child will remember the
experience they lad getting to
church the third Sunday in Febru-
ary, 1918. And I venture to say,
if the county Supervisor had just
only have been there then, (There,
mean, just in front of poor old
Hardy's church) that he would
have been ashamed of himself for
not working that road. Don't tell
him who said so, but I am afraid
more than one of those stuck in
that deep mud would have been
glad to have had him there, to
crank aud push, and crank, and
wade over his shoe tops. to get
each one out of it, and then to have
seen him stuck, and worried over it.
We saw two cars stuck in it and
would not venture in with ours:
left it down the hill, and climbed
that steep slippery bank and walk
ed up to the church. There came
another car loaded with a man,
wife and five children, after SER
vices began, and they got stuck,
and had to take the children out
and carry them across that sea of
mud and water, and the lady and
baby waded out. The man cranked
up again, and. after several efforts
came In.
Saturday morning just before the
sleet and drain storm, two soldiers
went up In a Beal, we suspect to
Esisit "a yerta;n young lady over.
Stevens creek. Poor fellows, If
that is where they were going they
did not know what was in store for
them. Don't know whether they
made their visit or not, but they
certainly had a trip. They, we
supposed it was, went down almost
8 o'clock. Had gotten ont of that
bad place at Hardys, and the one
at Mr.. Will Briggs, and at Mr..
Medlocks and were making time
by here where they could travel to-
wards town. If they met with the
same kind of luck eve found MIR.
and Mrs. Hallmaa in Saturday
morning their speed came to stand
still. Mr.. Hallman had been stuck
for an hour when we found them,
and Mr.. II. L. Bunch and wages
boy pushed him out. Mr.. Hallman
has become SO thoroughly dlsgusted
with these roads, and has had to
lose money because he could not
get over them to attend to his busi-
ness in Augusta, that he has sold
out and will move this week back
to town. He cant get farm hands
either he says. SO there will be
another dissatisfied poor fellow, a
Mr.. Gallman, move up there, just
to move off too | am fraid. Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Stevens moved
three weeks ago to Mr.. Calbraith
Buffers old home. Ale very much
delighted over housekeeping to
themselves.
/ was so wrought up over the ex-
perience of the roads, have not men,
toned, Notwithstanding the roads,
we had a real good con gregation
out for services, and good sermon.
