Bradley Locals.
For the past few days the cool
weather, together with ice and
frost combined, have come near
killing the fruit. If the fruit has
escaped such cold snaps as this,
what will it take to deprive us of
our delicious luxuries? The spar-
rows still chirp, the husky voice
of the blue jay. and the silvery
music of the king of birds—the
mocking—are still heard early in
the morning. Nature yet has its
beautiful dress, notwithstanding
the frosc, and it will take more
to change it.

He is a member of the cotton
growers protective association and
his cotton acreage will be reduced
two or three acres for a two horse
farm. This is the way a few of
the farmers reduce but most of
them increase the acreage.
Several of the brave men here

bee “on his chin”. Others tore
the fence down and left part of
their coats on it.
