$ SPRING f. a WILMS 4 COi SUMMER “Ring out tne o^ld! Ring in the new’f At no time in the year do the poet’s inspired lines fall upon the ear more pleasantly, and although the poem itself embraces so much of Old Fath er Winter, yet methinks it must have been inspired by anticipations of our present Goddess, “Fair Spring”. “Ring out the old,!” and that is just what “Dame Fashion” proposes to do, and as her subjects, we must bow before her fairy sway. “Ring in the new!”, again we obey you, “Fair Dame!” From the Eastern Markets—From the very Throne of Fashion herself LADIES SHOES. ?TWss (rOOflstl MENS'SHOES.

FROM DRAYT0H. Drayton is about to dry up on the stalk and it will if we don’t havs some rain now soon. The farmers are wishing for rain, most of them havo stopped plant ing cotton on account of tho dry weather, though they have pushed forward and are now plowing their corn. Mr. L. A. Morgan in company with Dr. Whitehead made our place a visit last Thursday on a fishing tour; they fished and fished and fished all day and late in the afternoon they bought them a mess and left here for home happy,Come again boys perhaps the fish will bite better next time. The school census man was in our ville last Thursday taking the number of all the school chil dren through this community. Miss Mary Ray, of near Coney, ■pent several days of last week m our village at the home of her un cle, Hon. T. J. Kay. We have a new Dr. in our town, since you last had the news from Drayton, it is Dr. Howell; he says that he is well pleased with his lo cation and his patronage since he has been here.

The entire population of Dray ton has been on a fishing “bender,” except Mr. J. E. Joiner Sr. and he would have gone but the others kept him preparing tackle, howev er all the fishers put together didn’t catch two good messes in two weeks, so they have all decided not to fish any more ’till the moon gets right. The latest,—Dr. Howell and Mr. H. J. Morgan has contrived a frog piano, they say that they will note it with frogs from the lowest to the highest note. They are going to devise a plan to have the frogs to hollow when the keys are touch ed and in that way have them to sing music.

Si From Southern Hill. »1I aifcht, we can hear the Of the loom of life— As Time, the tireless weaver, busily plies his shuttle.” 7 How beautifully the poet ex presses it: “Click, click, there's a thread of lore wore in. Click, click, there's another of wrong and sin. ^What a checkered thing this life will When aity.' ’ Let us not forget that we are the spinners and supply the weaver with the thread with which he fills the warp of our existence. Let us spin lovely thread that is free from knots and blemishes. There is very little news in our quiet neighborhood. Every one seems to be staying at home and busily pursuing their various avo cations. The much talked of “crops” are looking nicely, for the season, and the industrious farmers are still cheerfully planting the tiny seed, that are to yield them, we trust, a bountiful harvest in the near fu ture. The fruit crop was not so badly injured by the late cold weather as was feared. The young fruit can everywhere bo seen peeping out from the green foliage of the orchard trees. The prospect for early vegeta bles in this community is very good. We think, though, that the garden of Mrs. A. J. Morris takes the palm. She has cabbage about twenty inches across that are be ginning to head. We are sorry to state that there is some sickness in the neighbor hood just now. Mrs. M. Hollebrooks, of North Georgia, is spending several weeks with friends here. The prayer meeting at Harmony Grove last Sunday night was well attended. The school children were jubi lant over their week’s rest last week. But it is over now and they will have to work the harder to make up for lost time. A crowd of grown people and jolly boys and girls went fishing near here a few days ago. Don’t aek us how many fish we caught, for their name was not legion, but oh, the fun we had ! Who could help enjoying the jey of the small boy as ho triumphantly lifts a tiny trout from the depths of its watery home. Morr Anon. Ola. NEW DRUG STORE.
