land is not planted, caused by the
scarcity Of labor. What little is
planted is looking well.
Never was there such bumper
crop of fine large black berries as
there is this year. The hills and
yallies of the Greenwood Springs
sections are lined with berries. And
the ladies of this section are interest
ed in the canning of berries, apples,
peaches and vegetables for winter
use. A large number of fruit jelly
glasses and preserve jars will remain
empty this year on account the pres
ent high price of sugar that is being
horded up by the spectators. We
have heard quite number Of ladies
say in the past week that they posi-
lively were not going to have their
Threats cut any longer, that they were
going to dry all the peaches and ap.
pies and use molasses for canning
and let Mr.. Spectator keep his sugar
We was informed by one lady that is
able to buy sugar, that she had not
had any sugar in her home this year
II every family would do the same
this crop Of berries and fruit woulo
all be saved.
While at Greenwood we enjoyed
fox hunt Of which there is quite
number, as they have eat up all the
chickens in the community. There
was five fine fox hounds in the pack
After run of nine hours over hills
and hollows, Mr.. Fox was run dowr
and killed. The race was very ex-
citing from start to finish.
