cAMPGRoUND NOTES

The rain Sunday night and Mon
day was for this community its great
est season Of the year. Gardens, late
crops, late potatoes and lespedeza
were almost in dying condition
when this timely rain came and put
new life in crops People feel en-
cOuraged
Many Of our farmers are planting
so and 9O-day corn, sowing grasses,
and everyone is planning fan gar
den.
The cantaloupe fields of DR.. Big
ham and Mr.. James Bomar are the
finest prospects one would see any
where. They are early and fruiting
and it now looks like they are going
to make bumper crops. They have
good stands and a fine cultivation
We have looked over crops carefully
and Mr.. Boil Weevil' is somewhere
else. Cotton apparently is growing
without "his" meddling.
Mr.. Jesse Crouch, the Sunday
School superintendent, reported class
attendance Of 50 members, a good
offering and many Bible chapters
were read in our growing Sunday
school. 1t now looks like our Sunday
school will greet our coming revival
with 100 members. We had about
100 visitors in our school Sunday
All were greeted with a great and
kindly welcome in letters of shining
silver arranged by orr good women
the day before.
Mr., E. L. Dick, Of the Madison
Heights Methodist church, Memphis.
was the guest of his friend, Mr. Her
bert johnson, and attended church
here Sunday.
Mr.. Clifton Jones and family, Mr..
Joe Joyner and family, of Memphis.
and Mr.. E. A. Mcdaniel and family,

Capt. James Clements and Prof.
Bradley Gates, of the New Bethel
community, brought IL or Is of their
singers and spent Sunday morning
and afternoon as the guests of our
congregation. They delighted every
one with their song program. Miss
Gates played the organ. Prof
of Memphis, came and Joined
with them. He was a former citizen
here and his many bOyhood friends
were glad to see him again. These
happy song-loving young people have
warm welcome if they can come
again.
Mr. J. C. Coleman, on the Hope
well road, Mr. Palmer, at the old Col.
Tucker place on the Memphis road
Mrs. Ruth Willis and Mrs. J. D
Craig, all have fine orchards. We
suggest that the farmers of this
community who are disheartened
over the boil weevil go look over the
talk with their owners, take
pencil and tablet, make estimates
md put out one or two, or even five
lcres of choice trees this fall. They
will prove an old-age shelter
Mr.. j. |. Armstrong showed us
Saturday four of the winesap apple
rees and plum trees put out 20
years ago, These trees, without
are still bearing fruit per-
'ectly and will compare with any
in this country He said the
.rees had nJthing except ordinary
care Rev. J. w. Joyner has
zen licensed by the state to buy
hese trees for his neighbors, and we
understand that several of our peo.
lie are going to plant a dozen or
nore Of trees. Telephone him if YOU
want trees. He says he is not going
o canvass, but you can get your
rees delivered this fall by seeing
nm and making your selections for
all delivery. Brother Joyner is
over of fruit trees and so is Mr.. j.
Armstrong, whose speciality is pure
red Leghorn chickens to Jersey /
ows.
Rev. J. W. Joyher, who has been
