JOHNSTON LETTER.
Farmers Shipping Potatoes. A
Revival at Baptist Church.
Women Will Vote in
Town Election.

Irish potatoes, some of them having
planted extensively. They have been
delayed by slow arrival of the bar
rels. The packing is done at one of
the warehouses and it is very inter
esting to watch the grading machine
as it fills each barrell. Beans are also
being shipped, but they are not find
ing the ready sale that the potatoes
are. A number of the farmers have
several acres in sweet potatoes and
the first venture here of curing these
will be tried this fall.
Beginning on Sunday, June 18th,
revival service will start at the Bap-
tist church, the pastor, Rev. Brooke,
to be assisted by the Rev.. Hardy, of
Georgia. Mr.. Hardy is not expected
until the 18th. Mr.. Hardy was to have
assisted in meeting here last year,
but was detained by illness in his
family. The services will be morning
and evening.
The municipal election for mayor
and alderman is June 14th, and the
majority of the women will vote at
this time. At the election last Mo-
vember there were 40 that voted, but

cred. recognizing the fact that now
women have the vote, it behooves
each one to do her duty.
