There’s Something Doing
in the Old Third
Through an oversight we failed to
mention that Mr. C. W. King, who
lives in the neighborhood of Gra
ham, Ala., was one of the first to
bring an open boll of cotton to this
office. He reports good crops and
much fodder having already been
pulled. Graham, we understand, is
a splendid section of country, and if
all the citizens are like our old
we understand, is now on his second i friend and former neighbor, Willis
trip with a view

of locating in
Sewell, it can’t help being one of
the very best communities.
Bailiff James Vines, of the Third
district, was in town Saturday and
reports the crop outlook in his sec
tion as being good. He was down
on Blackdirt a few days ago and
says the Richards’ have seventy-five
acres of as fine corn as has been
grown on these famous bottoms in
many a year. Most Carroll people
understand that Blackdirt lies in
the fork of the Chattahoochee river
and Snakes creek, just a few miles
east of Whitesburg, which are now
owned by the Jones Bros.
Prof. W. E. Stith, merchant, farmer
and school teacher, of near County
Line, was also in town Saturday
with the same “old story,"—“crops
are good.” He says the time had
come when this section just had to
have a good crop, and the Lord has
blessed them. The professor says
he thinks he is through with his
part of school teaching, having
taught for twenty odd years. He
has a boy teaching and if he will do
as well as his father has done, then
the old gentleman ought to be al
lowed to quit,
Mr. Farmer, who has charge of
the Hutcheson farm, and is another
resident of the Third, was in Car
rollton a few days ago and reports
having good crops growing on land
that didn’t make anything last year
on account of so much wet weather.
From all accounts the Third district
came nearer being drowned out
last year than any other sectjpp of
the county, and we are grad to
know the prospects for the gather
ing of a fine crop this year are
good.
