e@m OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


to the people Of Caledonia, Columbus
and surrounding community for the
! many acts Of kindnesses shown them
I following the destructive storm re-
! Gently which completely demolished
J their home. They shall ever be CRATE
full to all for their generous help and
: aid in this time of distress and need.
In travelling over the county, we
note with pleasure that the oat crop
is fine and is getting ripe. Some
have already harvesting. We see
: the farmers are gettinng their reap
ers and binders rugged up ready for
the harvest field We also saw the
large auto trucks of Beets & Egger
come out on last Friday with two
thousand pounds of binder twile that
this firm had ordered for the farmers
and this will not be enough Irvine to
supply all the farmers to save their
bumper crop of oats. Soon the hum Of
the binders will be heard in every di-
rection cutting and binding the oats,
which a few years ago was all done
by hand This is quite saving in
time and labor.
Mr.. A. J. Myers left Tuesday for
Jackson, where he went to attend the
annual meeting Of the Grand Lodge
i. 0. o. F., of Mississippi, which con-
venes in the capitol city Wednesday.
He will go with the Columbus dele
gates.
Our fishermen say they never saw
the finny tribe so plentiful as they
are this spring. However, in the (
spring of 1908 we find the following .
clipping from the Dispatch stating
that Mrs. Emmett Jameson and her
friend Miss Maggie Well Ussery
went fishing on Wednesday afternoon
and caught twenty fine perch The
writer was taken to bait the hooks,
string the fish and kill the snakes
But the way those two ladies landed
the fish on the banks of the beautiful /:
Buttahatchie river was something
worth seeing. Part of the time we :
had to climb up in the trees to get F.:
the fish off the hooks.
