Two Old Citizens
at Death’s Door.
As The Weekly goes to press it
is reported that two of McDon
ongh’s oldest and most prominent
citizens, Dr. G. P. Campbell and
Mr. W, W. Amis, are not expected
to live, and their conditions grow
more critical each hour. Their
hosts of friends are filled with
deepest grief to know that the Re
sistless Reaper is waiting to carry
them over to the other side.
We sell the best fence made. All
kinds and shapes, the fence that holds.
Get our prices and buy our fence.

We had weather that God made
Sunday and Monday, hut the Hicks
variety returned Tuesday.
Poeksville is looking up some at
last. Dr. Jarrell has recovered
some of his tenant houses this win
ter, and so has W. Hf Maddox, and
Tom Shaw has built a new dwelling
on his father’s farm, and if there
is a vacant dwelling in the neigh
borhood I don’t know of it.
The cattle don’t all run at large,
all the time now, and Alf Wynn,
who moved to Alabama last winter
and moved back this winter notes
the improvement and says its a
good thing I moved here.
Will Mason and family, of Worth
ville, visited on the day light side

Mre* Robert Cawthorn had pity

some nice collards last week.
Mr. Ralph Lee has moved to Will
liam Maddox’s Ghu LeGuinn place
at the little Tussahaw bridge and
thus becomes our nearest neighbor
on that side, hut we have nothing
to fear from him, for I think he
keeps up his stock, and if he does
there may he something more than
hypocritical form in his going to
meeting occasionally.
