The prayer meeting at Dan Hor¬
ton’s Sunday evening was largely
attended by Wolf Pit folks.
We see that Fred Dunbar has made
a new mash over the way, so he h«s
given up going north for a while.
We wonder if Jesse Gaff took that
girl home he intended to the other
night. Come, Jesse, and tell us about
it.
Mr. Horton has put up an addition
to his house, lately. So you see the
improvements still are on the move in
these parts.'
There was a cottage prayer-meeting
held at Mr. Lukes, north of Wolf Pit,
Thursday night, the services being
conducted by the Rev. McGregor.
Some of the Old Field boys came
over Saturday to play ball with the
boys here. Come again, boys, when
there is no pitchers on the string.
Engineer Rufus Ilorton could not
make the grade on the Eastern Divis¬
ion of the C. II. & D. at the hill west
of Davis’ Station Sunday night with a
special lie started out with. Try it
again, Rufus. With a good head of
steam and sand on the track and up
you go.
Frank Talbert lias been remodeling
his fence around his 10-acre tract by
putting three boards at the bottom
and barbed wire at the top. The rea¬
son why, the razorbacks got to get¬
ting in and rooting up his crops,
which caused Frank to get a little bit
warm under the collar.

The picnic at Crisp’s Landing Sat¬
urday was ivell represented by the
Wolf Pit people, and there was also
several from Fitzgerald on an outing
trip. Everything passed off quietly
and all present enjoyed themselves.
There are some things that usually
happens on such occasions that did
not play their part. This time there
was no crickets to get in the pickles
or grasshoppers in the butter and the
like, but the mosquitos were pretty
troublesome to Mrs. Kettle and Mrs.
Tollman. But all in all it was a
pleasant time and greatly enjoyed by
those present.
PICNIC NOTES.
The fishing was good but the catch¬
ing poor.
The magnolia blooms were away-up
and nearly out of sight.
The Judge looked lonely. Why ?
Because Delia was’nt there.
“ Shorty” treed some fine fish in the
forenoon, and after dinner several of
the picknicers went out to catch them
but forgot to take an ax to cut the
tree.

Her Courage Severely Tried.
Mrs. Samuel Stamn, of Loganton,

fering with courage and fortitude.
Her trouble was rheumatism in the
knee. In consequense, her limb had
become so stiff that she coni-! hardly
walk. Mr. Stamn is a well-to-do mer¬
chant, and had spared no pains or ex¬
pense to relieve her, but witti little suc¬
cess. until one night when it grew so
painful that she could hardly endure it;
lie persuaded her to try Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm; the effect was magical.
The first application relieved tiie
pain, and its continued use lias remov¬
ed all stiffness and given her the free
use of her limb once move. For sale
