country place not to be occupied 1t
is own by Mrs. Reid.
Prof. Thomas W. keitt has mag
nifcent country place and with the
fresh white paint and green blinds
and water and sewerage and lights
and a fine farm on which to- grow al
YOU want what else could one desire
in this world to make life worth
while. And Prof keitt grows what
he needs for the farm on the farm
and sells some of the finest breakfast
strip YOU can buy. And we do not
know whether he sells any or not, but
do know that he knows how to cure
ideal country ham, because l have
had taste of it and it can't be beat.
All along this road are nice farms
and prosperous farmers. Mr. 0. u.
Lane recently sold his farm to Mr..
Lominick and has moved to town. 1t
is fine place and just adjoining and
running all around is the farm Of
Mr.. Thos. w. Folk and on up the road
is L. l. Feagle another good farm
and then there is John T. Norris VINO
has a nice country place and is max
ing money. And then the county
farm in charge of NJ. J. Smith. 1t
is a fine section of Newberry coan-
ty, but then all sections of this
county are fine sections.
! 1t appeared. to me that the small
grain was looking we'll, though it
would have looked better if there had
been more of it. Our farmers do< not
plant enough wheat and oats as
rule. True, sometimes wheat does
not yield very large, but then you
I can tell in time to put the land to
other crops and the wheat is good
fertilizer and even a small yield is
better than buying your -four. Some
how the people do not raise as much
wheat as they did good many years
ago. can recall when the two Aull
flour mills, the one at the Aull Hills,
owned by my father, and the one
near Newberry, owned by my uncle,
/ CAPTAIN John P. Aull, each would
grind from $4,000 to 10000 bushels
of wheat season. The mills would
start to run as soon as the grain was
harvested and continue regularly
night and day for about two months,
and then shut down the flour mills
until the next harvest. There were
no roller mills then in this section.
But the -four was good and pure. The
roller mills may be grinding consid-
cradle wheat now. | do not know
but somehow there does not seem to
be as MUCH wheat raised.
:, The roads are in need of work. If
the people now would just take off
day since the rain and while it is
too wet to farm and drag these roads
out this way and all over the county
we would have fairly good roads the
remainder of this season. Just lit
tie dragging now would save whole
lot of time when time in the farm
is much more valuable and could be
used to better advantage because
then you could get over the roads
without too much worry and haul
bigger loads and with great deal
more ease and the use of less gaso-
i line.
Saturday hooked my new Ill and
with Humbert Aull we drove down to
the Aull Hills and on to Pomaria.
The roads in, this section are fairly
good if the holes were given little
attention, and most Of it could be
done with the split log drag. The
farmers out this side are turning the
soil too and making ready for the
planting. This is a good section and
the farmers have improved conditions
down this side very much in recent
wears. The building Of new school
; houses and the having of good schools
will bring out any community. Wal
| ter Richardson has a fine country
store down there on the road and
ships lots of chickens and eggs to the
! city markets and many people travel
!, for miles to trade with him because
; he can and does sell cheaper. 1t was
rather quiet around the small towns
last week even on Saturday because
the farmers were busy in the fields:
. The heavy rains Saturday night and
Sunday night will again delay the
farm work for a few days but 1t IS
all right and good or the rams would
not have come.
That new road is fine but some
thing must be done for its malnten-
) ance or even it will not be good for
very long. Z. H. a.
The above story was written for
the last issue. Since then the rams
have come and the farmers are again
delayed with their preparation OF the
land for planting and it looks that it
is going to be several days before any
more work can be done on the farm
in the way of turning the land: But
! it is all right. Let every man do his
! duty and all will be we'll.
Referring again to the Mt. Bethel
graveyard 1 have learned that the
Mrs. Paysinger who is buried there
was the wife of the late Mr.. Fred
Paysinger. When he married her she
was the widow of Mr.. Williamson
