home Saturday from a two weeks
professional trip to Greenwood Spgs..
IN Monroe County. While there we
accepted an invitation to spend the
Thanksgiving day in the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs. d. w. Spring
field of the Mormon Springs section.
Mr. r. B. Barton and family were
also guests. At high noon the doors
of the dining room were thrown open
and the guests invited in, to the
delicious turkey dinner that had been
prepared. In the center of the table
was large turkey surrounded by
many good things too numerous to
mention. 1t was truly an old-fash-
4 Toned Thanksgiving dinner, every
thing prepared in the good old-fash-
I. Toned way by one of the best OF
cooks.
i In the afternoon Mr.. Springfield
got down his fiddle and played quite
a number of the old time pieces
that carried the guests back to the
happy days of the long ago. 1t is
needless to say that memories OF
the happy Thanksgiving day will
lever remain green in the thoughts
of those present. And last, but not
least, "The Columbus Dispatc.l" is a
twice a-week visitor in the Spring
field home.
We found the public gin at Green
wood Springs crowded with cotton
\ from six to ten wagons loaded with
cotton waiting for their turn to be
ginned. Some have to wait three or
\ four days to get their cotton. The
corn crop of this section is cut fully
half by the wet weather.
/ The "hog" crop of this section is
extra fine; the people all have plenty
Of meat for another year and some
have surplus and are offering
dressed hogs weighing from 200 to
$50 pounds for sale, but they cannot
/ find buyers. Their smoke-houses are
at home, which means several hun
dred dollars saved.
The carpenters are busy and there
are several new houses being built.
Some of the stores have been en-
larged and filled with goods. They
have plenty of sugar but the people
will not buy at the present price and
ali are using molasses, while quite
number have ordered sugar. The
farmers of this section are happy,
contented set of fellows.
The farmers of the Caledonia sec
! ton made good use of the cold, fros-
/ ty mornings of last week by killing
1 hogs which are plentiful this winter.
Mr.. Amos Hannell killed two hogs
/ year old that weighed over $50
pounds. Mr.. A. j. Sanders killed four
hogs a year old that weighed 1900
pounds. Mr.. A. r. Baker killed two
WEIGHING 875 pounds.
When it turns sure enogh cold we
will kill the large hogs, as the
weather has not yet been cold enough
to save the big hogs" for the far
mers Of this section sure have some
mammoth hogs and "sweet taters.
The Sunday School at Caledonia is
