SALEM LEAFLETS

We are very dry. A shower went
to the north Of Idaville and Salem
Sabbath evening, but only laid the
dust here. Most farmers are through
planting. Early cotton is mostly up
to a fair stand, ready for work, but
that which was planted in the last
two weeks is making little progress
coming up, and unless rain comes
soon there will be poor stands, if
stands at all. Much Of the land has
been plowed wet, Just after the last
rains few weeks ago, and as a re-
suit is very cloddy and hard to work.
Both corn and cotton that has been
planted since the rains stopped is
next to impossible to work out.
Several more of our farmers who
were able to hold their cotton have
sold it during last week and deliv-
cred it to the railroads the last few
days.
Some sickness prevails over the
community, but so far as we have
heard, no extremely bad cases.
The boys are beginning to practice
up for the baseball season, but
haven't gotten in trim yet. We
understand the Idaville boys had
little practice game with the Mum
ford boys on the Munford field last
Thursday afternoon and Monday
evening Of this week with Bartlett |
on the latter's diamond, but as we
are not in possession of the particu-
lars, can not give the results. I'll
they would only give us a wink to |
be on hand with them we might oc-
casionally give them nice tribute
of respect in the Leaflets, so that |
the outside world might know what |
the fans over here in the city of Ida
vile are doing. But how can we
write unless we know and how can
we know unless we see, and so on I?
Most of the boys and girls who
are in COLLEGES or other schools will
he home this week or next. The
homecoming of the sons and daugh-
tiers are always a happy time TO
families and friends and should be
a matter Of rejoicing to any COM
munity or county to see so many of
the young people preparing them
selves for greater usefulness in their
homes, communities. churches and
state. II is a sign Of more progress.
better citizenship and uplifting to
any community, or county.
