Mr.. and Mrs. W. D. Bennett, of
Ehrhardt, were among the visitors in
town Monday. Mr.. Bennett reported
that there had not been too much
rain in his section, and that crop con-
.ditions were very promising. In
fact, he says that some cotton down
there looks like it will produce bale
to the acre. The lower part Of the
county appears to have been especi-
ally favored this.year.

Rev. o. B. Falls leaves this week
for Range, Texas, to conduct a re-

tirely to mission work. Since the
wells were bored this church has sent
more than 100000 to the various
mission boards of the Southern Bap-
tist convention.
