EIGHT MILE HAPPENINGS.

Dear MT. Editor;-It has been some time since you have heard from this neck of the woods, and if you will give me a little space in your valuable paper I will once more dot down a few hap penings from this place.
 We are having some nice weather now and the farmers are using it, you bet.
 There was preaching at Eight Mile last Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night, by Bro. Douglass of Magness. The meet ings were attended by large crowds.
 The farmers are planting cot ton on a small scale, which is right to command high prices. Plant corn and have fat horses and hogs.
 Miss Mary Johnson, of Rich woods, was down attending church Sunday in company with MT. Silas Mead. and MT. Dave Tarwater as waiter. Hurrah for MT. Mead.
 Mrs. Kate Dennis and family, of Cow Lake, were over to church Sunday.
 Anderson Muslin and family, of Gourd Neck, were up at Eight Mile Sunday.
 Miss Fannie Mcconnell, of Gourd Neck, spent Saturday night with her sister, Mrs. White near Eight Mile.
 Miss Mollie Bigham returned home from Newport last Sunday a week ago, where she has been staying waiting on the sick. We are glad to see you back Miss ! Mollie.
 1 A. Lail is improving nicely since his wrestling match with his big brother, who threw him and broke his collar bone. We would advise him not to wrestle with an expert next time,
 H. C. Rogers and daughter, of Shoffner's Switch, were over to see his son at Eight Mile Satur- day night and Sunday.
 We saw C. w. Sittle casting sly glances at the fair sex Sun- day.
 We heard some one inquiring how o. J. was getting along. It was reported he got out in the middle of the big road last Sat urday, the 14th, and stood upon his head and would not let any one pass until some of the neigh bors went to him to find out what was the matter. He told them that there was a fine boy at his house. We hope he will recover soon.

front since Saturday is now over
four miles at its maximum depth.
German forces holding the vital
sector of the battle front between

ed back over a ten-mile front this
