MINERAL SPRINGS


good time-seeing uncles, aunts and
old neighbors they hadn't met for
possibly many years. They meet
every year.
Uncle John Martin has the finest
orchard of peaches in the county
and says he is going to most give
them away as everything is so high
he only wants So per bushel.
Born, to Mr.. and Mrs. Ballard
Drewry, a girl,
Roger Sanders decided he had a
case of yellow fever near his
home. but after making a closer ex-
animation and finding the tempera-
ture sub-normal, decided it was only
yellow jaundice. He said if ne had
got to pillow it once more and had
not been too wet it would have
made 10 pounds to the acre but ne
would not pillow the ground too
wet, and ruin the ground
Crops are fine in this vicinity.
Men renting for the third will prob
ably pay $50 per acre on some Of
the farms, especially on ground
where they have cotton.
Miss Ora Thorn has been real
sick the past week.
Arrangements are being made by
three of Mineral Springs leading
farmers, James Dunlap, James May
nard and B. A. Elinor, to have
water works and electric lights in
their homes, as it can be done
with much less expense where two
or three go in to it. That is right
advance as the world advances.
We go this way but once.
Clarence Maynard, after serving
his term for Uncle Sam in France
as a bold and brave soldier, came
home and stayed few weeks with
his father, mother, sister and broth
ers and friends, was later employed
by the Eflorace Sugar Co., Cincn-
natl, Ohio, at a nice salary. He
has been there about a year and his
head man has raised his salary
three times since lie was employed.
He spent a few days at home the
past week, and many of his friends
flocked in to see him, as he never
left mother or father while here.
For the past few years a strange
man has been seen with Jim May
nard in his field pointing at differ
ent places in different directions,
which later proved to be Mr.. Ellis,
the farm demonstration. 1t was later
found that Mr.. Maynard was farm
ing under Ellis instructions, which
has proved to be a perfect success.
Mr.. Maynard, l venture to say, has
the best crop in the county-not a
ditch to be found on his farm. We
must say if all farmers would farm
and work under Mr.. Ellis instruc-
ions land would soon be selling for
5000 per acre, instead Of 500.
Listen to Ellis and you soon won't
lave gulley, you soon will have
yrass and trees in old red places and
instead of being red the ground
will be perfectly black. See Mr..
ellis and have him give you some
essons. -
The protracted meeting will be
conducted by that highly educated
and eloquent Rev. Audie Holt the
coming week. Every one processes
they are going to hear the gospel.
Preacher Holt is a man that puts
people to thinking, as he uses the
gospel strictly in his sermons. He
held meeting here last year, and it
proved to be very successful.
Mr.. Basil Mitchell and Miss Han
ner Smith drove down to Esq. Dun
laps last Saturday and were quietly |
married and then drove up to the
singing at Green Hill to see the
uncles, aunts and neighbors and re-
ceive their congratulations.
Mr.. Chas. Lewis, our neighbOr
mechanic, after losing his house and
contents by fire, has sold his shop
and moved to Bradford to work in
the garage.
Dennis Boaz and Oscar Stafford
are still in the hospital at Nashville.
Both will soon be transferred to the
west.
Mrs. Raleigh Perry is improving
from a case of blood poisoning.
The roads are better. What
caused it? The schools are better.
What caused it? The Dresden En-
terprise is better. What caused it?
The gospel is preached more plain.
What caused it? The farms are
better. What caused it?
