Last Thursday, the 15th instant, rain began falling in this vicinity and continued with but little in termission up to noon Friday. The commencement came mild, and from eveay appearance there was no indication pointing to anything serious, but during the latter part of Thursday night a heavy gale of wind set up and before noon Fri day all the corn in this entire com munity was laid flat on the giound with quantities of it broken off. The damage has not been fully es timated yet, but we are of the opinion that when a careful exam ination is. made that the damage will, if not exceed 15 percent., to say nothing about the fodder loss. The cotton crop was also lain flat and some of it was broken off. It seemed that the wind was blowing straight but from the holes made around the cotton stnlk, every thing denoted that there was a kind of twisting. Some of the holes around the stalk will meas ure three inches in diameter and the depth goes down to where the roots branch off, and we notice many of the roots are broken. The stalk in twisting around is bruised considerably. Whether this will prove damaging or not to the crop will only be realized later on, though many are of the opinion that it is damaged to a limited ex tent if not more, Cariiss Dodi, of Atlanta, is spending a few days with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Dodd. Edmund Harling and wife, of Atlanta, are visiting friends and relatives in this vicinity. Some of our people attended meeting last Sunday at Morrison’s camp groupd.

A series of days of meetings will oegin at Macedonia on Thursday oelore the first Sabbath in Sep tember. Miss Mollie Whittaker, of Ligon, who has been spending quite a while with friends and relatives near Atlanta, arrived home last Saturday, to the delight of her many friends. The peach crop of this section, thiu h small, is being canned as last as .t opens. The ants, mosquitoes and flies have certainly been making it very interesting to everybody in this section for the past two months. The mosquito and fly are a well known pest to every one but the ant has never been a very frequent visitor of the household until here iately. Their numbers are almost innumerable and what they are after is hard to tell. Our curiosity has been so much attracted by their presence that we have made them a point of study, but as yet without effect. You may place molasses down to them and they crawl in and drown immediately, Bread placed in their pathway seems to have no attraction what ever. Si gar strewn promiscuosly on the flcor is passed over and over again without molestation, and just what they are after is so far ebscure from us. One thing, how ever, we do know —they are surely the worst pest that has ever taken up their abode in the house, and something to exterminate them would be hailed with delight". Not long ago vve stood on the spot where a federal was killed in a running fight at a distance < f about 409 yards, the ball taking effect where his suspenders crossed, penetrating through his entire body. After spending some little time on the spot we turned our face homeward, brooding over the many tragic incidents of the war. Vve had not proceeded a great way before it was our privi lege to meet up with one of the old ante b. Hum darkies. Age had made many inroads on his form, yet in this decrepid condition there was something in his general make up admirable, We told him after receiving his congratulations in the ‘"old ante-bellum way,” that we had been visiting the spot where a j ankee was killed during the war, to which he paid the strictest attention and when w r e had finished our story, that old form and head, which was seaied over with the frost of 80 odd years quivered and stra’ghtened up al most to a soldier’s position, and turning his dim eyes into the deep blue vault above, he said: “Well Massa, it am mighty bad ter speak er wish bad things about any one but I’se er’blige ter say dat I wish every one of dem daugh yankees had #r got a ball drove right in the cross of de gallowses where dat one did den I would be wid all my race enjoying cat heads and fat bacon wid plenty of close too — but, as it is, days passes ober dis gray old colored persons head wid not a bite to eat nor clo’s to wear and no friends ter pity.” At this moment the old darky pushed off into sobs and tears and I bade him good day aud resumed ny march homeward. I could not for even days get him out of my mind. I ielt sorry for him then and do yjt and will say that in his last remarks there is more truth than poetry and no doubt in my mind but what there are thousands of the colored race today would think it a sweet release to be back under the protecting care of “Old Massa.” We notice the same old bug which produced such disastrous effect on the Irish potato crop this year, has made his appearance in the turnip patches and vve guess if he succeeds as well there as else where, all hopes can be dismissed on the turnip question, for he is most sure to stick to his business as long as anything remains to stick on. Rev. John A. McMurry, of Lin wood. is visiting the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Isbell. About as heavy rainfall as has ever yisited this section fell here last Sunday evening. It com menced about half after three o’clock and from that on Vo three o’clock Monday morning there was just one cloud after another and at the present writing heavy clouds can be seen low down in ihevvest. The agricultural departments of the government are flooding the country with crop reports. The figuring is all up to date and we doubt very much that if the largest majority of those who have been so busy for some time estimating the present crop were placed in a cotton field that they wouldnt know what it was. Farmers should pay no attention to crop estimaters; if they want to find out the crop situation let them come to the field in person. CORBIN. We are having good rains and crops are good. Everybody is done work now; nothing to do but work out the roads and goto church. Mrs. M. L. Cofer of Atlanta, is visiting relatives and friends this week. There has been a lot of tonsili tis in our burg recently, and sever al serious cases. Mr. and Mrs. Rob Akin were at Cidartown last week. Miss Fannie Goodson, of Mar ietta, is visiting relatives.

Heath, ac-j companied by the latter’s brother 1 returned home after a two weeks ; visit to the latter’s mother at Other, j G on Monday. People are already crying out 1 hard tunes next year, long before} the time gets here- We are too ready to cry out hard times, justj wait until the time comes and then make the best of it we can, and never trouble until trouble troubles us and live hard times down, it is too soon to begin to grieve over hard times. There has always been plenty to eat and drink and wear on this continent, sometimes we read of famine in foreign lands, but never at home, if we only try. Farmers especially are saying their crops are off 30 to 50 per cent, on account of the wind last Friday. Mr, Robeit Sewall and Miss Mary Shinall were married Sunday nigh at the home of her grandpar rents, Mr. and Mrs. James Harris.

Ha-’enair will begin a pro tracted meeting at the school house next Sunday which will probably continue a week. We were dissipointed Sunday that Prof. Gilreath was provident ially hindered from being with us and hope to have another singing soon. Although we had no regular leader there were several good singers present, and the singing notwithstanding the unfavorable ness of the weather w-as a success. Miss. Effie Brisendine and broth er, Mr. Will Brisendine ot Kuhar lee, visited Miss Leila Johnson Sunday. LIN WOOD. We are having a greac deai o f rain which injured the peach crop to some extent, but a great many car loads were shipped beside the wagon loads that were hauled to Adairsville and sold fora good price. The fruit growers are well pleased with the results of their crop of fruit, and some speak of putting out more trees this fall. Corn and cotton are reported as fine. If the wet wea her should continue long, it of course would be detrimental to cotton Mr. and Mrs. W. T.
