Mr. Wilson Wright, Master Cal

all visited relatives in Knoxville
last Sunday.

Mrs. Richardson Is spending

Messrs Joe Jackson and R. L.

with the family of M. J. Moore.
A large crowd attended the Ge¬
res Sunday school last Sunday.
La<J Sunday was collection day
sF Union church and it was as¬
tonishing that such a large per
cent of the congregation were so
absent minded as to have left
tneir purses at home.
Some of our early farmers were
thinking of putting hot rocks to
their corn and sugar cane last
Saturday morning when it began
to snow.
We hear much talk of the an¬
nexation of Hawaii by some of
our farmei.;. We Mmk the au
negation of several acres of corn
to their farrnes and more hogs im¬
proved stock in their pastures,
would result in more good direct
ly to them than the annexation of
a thousand Hawaii’s to the U.S..

Some of our farmers have seri¬
ous apprehensions in regard to
the fruit crop sinr-y the freeze
last Saturday night, but all fears
are absolute-v groundless, so far
the peach crop is sure, because
peaches very rarely or never gm
killed in March. It is the cold
winds and frost of April that ruin
them, except when they bud in
the early part of February and
are killed by a freeze in the lat¬
ter part of that month.

Mr. Editor:—
it seems that winter still pre¬
vailed, notwithstanding the peo¬
ple are still planting corn and
gardens. The good book says
there will be a time when we can¬
not discern summer from winter
only by the falling of the leaves.
The time is very fast approach¬
ing.
\Ye are having some sickness in
this part of tho Go.
Wo learn Fuat 3D. Willie Beag¬
le r is ip’ite sick.
Tim youngect child of Mr. Wil¬
liam Vfhittington had. the mis¬
fortune to get scalded vary bad a
,‘\v days ago.
One of Mr. Jasper Morris chil¬
dren is very sick.
There was prayer meeting ser¬
vices held at the residence of Mr.
Willie Wilson on Sunday evening
last. A large crowd were in al¬
ien denee.
Mr. Editor, we are not given to
flatter any one, but when we see
a wise youth we like to give them
credit for the grand display of
their talents. Little Jobnie igwF;
the oldest son of Mr. John Low; 3,
has such a remarkable talent for
music and with such a bright
memory too. He cannot be ex¬
celled by any of his age and size
and for such a short experience
nas had in the art of music.
It is quite consoling to hear him
perform on an organ. There may
bemthers who could excel! him,
but none of the same age and
practice that he has had.
We don't see why the people c
Crawford county cannot realize
the great importance of a comity
paper. It's • not Jbed&use they
haven’t got, a man capacitated to
run it nor because the paper is
not solidly published m the Co.
All of these are facts s-ubstanei
