Wooster, Ga ~ June 2. —The farmers are revived, a good rain Sunday after noon, which was greatly needed. Air. and Mrs. Scrags are all smiles over the arrival of n baby girl. Rev. Bailey ['reached a good sermon at New Hope Sunday to a latge congre gation. Being the tilth Sunday there was no preaching around near by. The people oi this community will organize a Sabbath school at New Hope the second Sunday in this month. Let evetybody come and have a good Sab bath school. Waller Estes has the finest corn we have seen. Dav labor is very scarce around here. Some say they will give a dollar a day to get their cotton cli< pped. Star tilt g Evidence.

Molena, Ga., June 2.—A timely rain fell all through this community Sunday and Sunday night. Cotton choppers are in great demand and are very scarce Glem Hidles has been sick with meas les the past week, which was some of the fruits derived from the picnic at Fiat Shoals the first of May. We attended preaching at Concord Sunday lust. The general meeting had just closed and Rev. Blalock, of La- Grange, preached the commencement sermon for Concord High .School at eleven o’clock to a packed bouse, from the text: “Seek Ye the Lord.” We were glad to hear that our old neighbor boy and former teacher at Union and- Molena, had given such general satis faction at Concord this year. 11. B. Carreker is one of our beet teachers. We suppose Bro. Concord Cullings will give the full program of the exercises of the school. Prol. Chapman closed his school at Molena Tuesday. We live so far from Molena and were so busy fighting Gen eral Green that we failed to get the program. ' V-X Z. T. Willis has the finest cotton on his place that we have seen. It is being plowei I the second time. A. J. Chappell cut his ’fine field of wheat last week. He also has some of the best oats that we have seen around here. In our travels around we notice a great many vacant farms, whose owners have deserted them and gone to the cotton mills to make a decent living. It seems very unjust to me for an able bodied man to take his girls to a cotton mill to be deprived of all the pleasure that could be had on the farm and place them among all sorts of people, while he himself sits around town a I day to see how many of his old comrades are coming to town that day to set them up, while his little children are feeding ami clothing the whole family. We know the cap may fit very tight on some here, nevertheless it is true. LIBERTY BILL LACONICS. Liberty Hill, tin , June 2 —The wheat crop is fairly good in this section. Some of the farmers have cut theirs, w hile some is not ripe. As a general thing fall oats are good. John I’. Brown and Jim Simmons have the. finest oat crops we have-.cn anywhere. The acreage of small grain and corn is more than usual. The corn crop is very sorry, the bud worm having none its work ibe past two weeks, which Use damaged the stand very much. There is not as much cotton planted in this section as common. Most of the crop had to be planted the secend time, and the prospects tor a cotton crop are the poorest we ever saw. The farmers have had two weeks of line weather and have made good use of the time. The citizens of Pike county regret very much the murder of so noble a young man as George Worthen. The family have the sympathy of the entire community. Mrs. Dock Crumley, who has been ill for sometime, is still very feeble. There has not been very much cotton chopped in this section yet and now the first of June. E. B. Taylor reports the honey crop fine. He has taken about GO pounds from two stalids. Monroe Taylor is ill at this writing. Hope he will be up in a few days. Farmers will be stopped a lew days on account of the heavy rain that fell Sunday afternoon. Some wind and hail with it. There will be preaching here the first Sunday by Rev. Gray and at Midway by Rev. John Beard. SIAN Ol MI ROCK Standing Rock, Ga..

The biggest complaint we hear of is poor stands of cottou. Uncle Pink Elmore, whose illness we mentioned last week, has recovered. Children's day was observed here Sunday afternoon and was a success in every way. Everybody in this section has been attending the revival meeting which has been going on at the Methodist church in Senoia for the last two weeKs, and everybody says it was the best meeting they ever attended, T. G. McCullough has two acres of land planted in beans. We attended the singing at Nixon Grove Sunday evening. Prof. Craw ford, of Brooks Station, was present and rendered some of the finest music we ever heard. He is a splendid singer and makes friends everywhere he goes. It is with sorrow we note the death of Mr. Middlebrooks, which occurred last Saturday morning at his home near Bethel. It seems that he had been in a low state of health for sometime. The deceased was fifty-three years old at tho time of his death. The remains were laid to rest in Bethel cemetery on Sunday. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. R. Davies. Everybody remember that Standing Rock Fragments is agent for one of the best papers in Georgia, the G. S. W. — better known in this community as Clark Adcock. Driven to Desperation.
