AeiioW Wnom people call Q ciodhoppel
or hayseed, and SO much so on this
scribe" that he has scarcely had time
to even scribble. The rains put me
back several days, too, and I have
been so held down trying to cut and
shock my bottom corn ahead Of the
frost. The cold tights with traces Of
frost, kept me scared, and I cut some
too green. But then you know that
no real late corn will dry out with
out shriveling. I had six acres I'd
one plow, with a quantity Of stalks
to the land, and good little crop
made, too, and I am proud Of 1t. But
the good Lord did it. He made me to
work mighty hard at it. until it grew,
and then the frost stayed off, and
am very thankful. You see, none Of
US can 60 one thing ourselves.
The weather went to the other ex.
tree (fNom the drought) and got wet,
so wet that very little of small grain
has been sown, and farmers were
thrown back in the gathering of
crops.
I do not know what the boil weeyils
are doing for square meal now. as
green boil now would appear as A
stranger. If there had been reason.
able weather in September there
would have been a rank second
growth Of cotton, and a good pasture
for weevils.
Now as cotton gathering is beins
finished, IL shows up very short. We
made the plant, all right, but the bob
weevils beat US to the fruit. I have
heard of one small section as making
the best crop they ever made. Well,
the boil weevils are helping them, by
taking every other sections cotton,
and if shortage put up price those
few will coin money, and we lose.
The Presbytery met here at the
Presbyterian church last Thursday,
the 10th. Your correspondent was
not able to attend that meeting but
the report is that it was q good
meeting. There were some of the
best addresses and, withal, the meet
ing was profitable from the several
angle that these meetings work from,
or to.
Mrs. M. L. Fairey Of Orangebure
spent last week with relatives here.
Your correspondent enjoyed her visit
very much, as it was at his home she
visited. She bears the relationship
of niece to him.
W. D. Lancaster and Hayne Smith
of the West Springs section attended
services the Baptist church here
last Sunday. We were glad to have
You gentlemen; come again.
The community fair came and went
and l will try to say something next
time. Some we wanted to see there
were not present. 1t was said % have
been good.
The four minute. speakers appoint
ed to speak at the Baptist church here
SdAdag 18th, on the 75 Million Camr
paign, Messrs. A. G. Kennedy and J.
A. Crosby, were here as appointed.
Mr.. Crosby made very short talk,
only a few remarks, saying that he
did not think Salem needed to be
talked to, as it was so near paid up
(both said this), but he said it was
well to get every one to give some
thing. His remarks were well taken.
Mr.. Kennedy made most excellent
address. He is mild speaker, yet
very impressive. He related the story
of lie widow sacrificing to feed
Elisha, and that it was good TO have
that spirit in the churches today. We
enjoyed these services. With them
were MIR. and Mrs. Crocker and Mr..
Crosby and Mrs. Crocker (who was
Miss Annie Shirley both Of Mon.
Aetna's choir, sank two duets and
Mr.. Crosby solo, and this alone was
a treat. We are glad that they came
down. Very few people were present.
l am sorry that Santuc is showing up
so badly Of late. It may not impress
strangers very favorably.
Last Sunday Fourth Sunday was
the regular preaching day at the Bap-
tist church here and DR.. Lee Davis
Lodge of Limestone College preached.
There was large congregation pres
ent and was well pleased with the
sermon. It was fine. This was the
day appointed to ordain two addi-
tional deacons, r. E. Moss and L. B.
Jeter, Sr. Other than the home dea-
cons who assisted In the exercises
were w. H. Jeter and Mr.. O'Daniel Of
Carlisle, D. FAINT Gillian and J. Mob.
ley Jeter, First church, Union, and W.
D. Lancaster Of West Springs. The
day was beautiful one, and though
the services were somewhat more
lengthy than usual, the people did not
seem to get tired. I believe they would
be delighted to hear DIR. Lodge sgain.
His stay here was too short. Several
said that they could listen To his ser.
mon for hours and noe tire of ~.
