From the published Fourth Round
of Quarterly Conferences for the
Hattiesburg District, now being
published In the N. 0. Christian Adj
vocate we reproduce the following:
Richton at Richton Oct. %; Leakes-
vile at Pine Grove Nov. 1920 at IL
a. M; Ayera at Grafton Nov. "a at
1880 o. m. w. w. Graves is the
Presiding Elder. This is the last
round of quarterly conferences before
the annual conference meets.
T. W. Beard left an ear of corn
with us that shows ten cobs to the
one shuck. There is one main ear
and the other ears are shorter and
grown round it. He also showed US a
twig from pecan tree that had two
clusters of eight pecans each. Pecans
seem to be q plenteous crop this
year. People having trees that
never bore before. find fruit on them
This season and those that were off
IN bearing last year are on this time
with good crops.
N. r. Daughdrill who has been
away in Texas for over year. passed
through Leakesville Monday on the
return for San Antonio having come
over for few days to see his mother
Mrs. w. #. Daughdrill of Denco,
whose health has dropped down late
ly from aheart trouble. Molly took
trip with boat while back which
carried him into South America and
old Mexico for bit, and he landed
back in the states about Houston,
Tex. He still follows auto repair
work.
10. III. Hillman tells us OF rattle
snake which he and Solomon Ball
killed q few days ago close to the
new house they are building for Ed
Ball in the Betty community. The
snake crawled up close to where they
were at work and they teased it
some to see if it would tight but il
would only sing its rattles and not
try to strike. Was about three feet
long and had seven rattles. Mr.. Os
thinks it was sluggish from cold and
that it had probably come out from
some hurricane root hole for sun
bath, hence was not vicious when
they tantalized it.
