thirty days from the time of the de-
cision to call meeting of the Elk

own choice and transact any other
business that might be brought be-
fore the meeting, and appointing the
Rev. DR.. Smiley or some other
minister acceptable both to Church
and Presbytery, to moderate the
meeting and install any elders who
might be elected. DR.. Kreger gave
notice of appeal to the General As
sembly from the decision. Col.

 My Irish potatoes never stopped growing. The rains commencing be- fore the vines had turned yellow, they put on a second growth and new young potatoes are forming and it looks like they will make fall crop. The old potatoes have already turned white. I shall leave them and see what they will do.
 My vines are all growing fine and l expect fine lot of cantaloupes and cassabas from now until frost. My sweet potato vines are also doing we'll, as are my gourd vines, and you should see one of my New Zealand butter beans, which is already half way up pine tree and going to the top. It has not been week since it reached the tree While the vines are flourishing, they are not putting on much fruit, but 1 suppose that there will be enough for my use.

 This is certainly rather backward weather. Yesterday morning it was very warm and went to church without my coat l had no more than got comfortably seated than I found out that l was too cool. We'll, thinks l, this will be good night to sleep, but il turned out to be too warm. When l took my seat to write l found out again was too cold and kindled up the fire. If the weather would only be cold at night and pleasant in the day time 1t would suit me bet ter and 1 would not call 1t by such an ugly name as backward weather. ,
 Being as the weather is backward, l will be backward, too, and write the last things to happen first, in- stead of putting them down in their regular order.
 There is a good old Methodist pro- tracted meeting going on at Martin dale Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C.. L. Galloway, as- sisted by Rev.

 My improvements are getting along very slowly. l was quite sure would be ready for big ramble this week, but with my new room uncovered and the doors and windows not completed in the old rooms, l am compelled to remain over and finish the work. Charles Walderns helped me three days last week and could he have helped all week I would have gotten the new house completed. It is a small affair, l2xl2, with an attic overhead, where l intend to arrange my relics. l had room enough with out this house, but 1 wanted a tight room, where could fight a winning game with the mosquitoes, mice and other vermin, and could keep cool in summer and warm in winter. When completed I will have house different from any other l ever saw CT heard of. The two old rooms are of logs and the west room laps over five feet on the other, which is the central room, while the new building is built opposite the west room, leav- ing space in front of the main room in which 1 intend putting a twenty foot porch or gallery.

 l took dinner with Tom Bene on my way out from Little Rock. This was my first time to stop with him since he married. He has a fine wife and is doing well. Tom was road overseer and built all those fine graveled roads around Ferndale. It is the best road work l have ever seen done in Arkansas by a road overseer. If all the road overseers in Arkansas had been as capable as he there would never have been any talk about good roads in Arkansas, for we would have had the best in America.
 If 1 catch up with my work, and l hope l will, l shall visit the folks on the rural routes out of Little Rock soon. may work my way into town over Route next week, and l hope the people along that route will be prepared for my coming. 1 don't mean by this that they should load up the old shot gun and keep it stand ing by the front door for me, but that they put few dollars in their purses and have them ready. It is a nice thing to have in your pockets, even if never call for it. Then I am go- ing out Sweet Home way and over Route 4 before 1 return. l have an idea of visiting the Cabot and Jack sonville routes soon after the first of September.
 C. J. C.

He will bring his fiddle along with him, and he is some fiddler, believe me, and the folks who like music of that kind can entertain him, and some of those who like to sleep can enter tain me, for Nelson's regular bed time is 1 a. m., and mine is sundown. We are nearly opposite in all our likes and dislikes and consequently get along together splendidly, when we are separated by only few miles of mountains, rivers and plains land
