The best cotton in this section will not make over three-fourths of a crop, while much will not make two-thirds. Taylor Jarrett, a colored tenant of Mr. W. A. Woodard, was bitten by a moccasin last Saturday, and was in a very critical condition for sev eral hours. He was picking cotton and thought the pricking of his hand was by cotton bolls until he jerked up his hand with a snake hanging to it. Miss Daisy Durden of Macon is visiting Miss Mattie Lou Pitts.

A Mile a Day of Woven Wire Fencing Nothing Unusual. A mile of good fencing put up by three men in a day seems like a fore runner of the farmer’s millennium, yet this is being done right here in oiir own state every day with the Ellwood Steel Wire Fence. Of course this refers to putting up the fence after the posts are set, and it is an illustration of the convenience of the ready woven wire fences which have gained such popularity in the last two or three years. After the posts are Bet the roll of fencing, containing 10 or 20 rods, is unrolled and the fence lies flat on the ground with its bottom against the posts. One end of the roll is stapled to the end or starting post, the Woven Fence stretcher is ap plied to the other end of the roll and by working the stretcher the en tire length of fencing is quickly, ea sily and properly drawn into place along the posts ready for stapling. The stretcher makes all taut at ope operation, and staples are then driv en home on each post. Bagging, Ties and Meat cheap cheap, cheap at F. M. Houser’s.
