CONCORD CULLINGS.
Concord, Ga., April 8, —Everything
is quiet around here and the farmers
are hustling. Some few have managed
to plant their corn between showers,
while others have not planted auy yet.
Some are ready to plant and some of
them are still trying to prepare the land
before they plant. We think the bet-
ter plan under the present circumstances
is to put your earn in the ground at
once,
Uel Matthews, of Pedenville, is the
first to have a fine stand of corn up; but
they have the advantage of us up there
on tha» sandy river land, especially
during a wet spring like this.
Many of the farmers around here are
afraid th< y won’t raise cane thia rear,
but, of course, it’s syrup cane. Many
haven’t planted yet on account of so
much rain.
Ben Smith, who resides near here,
seems rough on rats. He killed 157 one
day last week, and a asu’t but a litt.e
while about it. Many of them must
nave been old settlers, as their backs
had turned gray.
The smallpox scare turned out to be
something similar tn chickenpox or
guineapox, or something else —no one
knows wbat it was. Anyway, there
was nothing serious about it, and it's
nil over with us here now, and there
isn't any new cases of it; nor any
measles or whooping cough at present,
and the few who stopped their children
from school on account of the epidemic
hive started them back again, and the
schools are now flourishing
The singing at Miss Rebecca Goats'
Sunday evening was largely attended.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea lor us t<>
disperse with so many Sunday singings
and all join the Sunday schools and at
tend them? At the Methodist church
at ten «-'clock a. m. and at the Baptist
at three o’clock p. m 1 make the sug
gestion merely as a hint to the wise.
There was ice here Sunday morning,
but the cold did no serious damage to
