Claud Cullings. by Gabriel. . ■ - The recent rains have hindered farm work. Mr. J. A. Arnold is still in the rank, but he has a partner now. He and Mr. L. T. Doles are the first to plant cotton in this section, and Mr. J. W. Bartlett says he is going to plant this week. Spur up, good far mers, and show these men that you can have cotton blossoms by the time they do. Several of our friends attended the general meeting of the Primitive Baptists at Macon last week. Several of our farmers were pre vented from marketing their sweet potatoes last week by the washout of the Echeconnee iron bridge. Our work was hindered last week by the recent visits of Deputy Sher iff Biley, who carried several of the farmers’ best hands to Perry for tri al Saturday. ' / The young people of this vicinity attended a dance at Mr. W. M. Bart lett’s one night last week, and all participated in having a good time. Mr. and Mrs, J. W. Rooks, Miss Mamie Rooks and Mr. Allen W. Ta bor attended the marriage of Mr. J. D. Milan and Miss Lizzie Melvin at Providence Church Wednesday night of last week. We regret very much to say that Mrs. E. L. Fountain has been criti cally ill since Saturday, March 23rd, and Mastei\Seabie Hartley has been out of school several days on ac count of sickness. We hope Mrs. Fountain will soon recover, and Sea- bie will soon be able to go back to school. Miss Amanda Thompson of near Perry is visiting her sisters, Mdms. J. W. and C. R. Bartlett. Our school children have begun to practice for a concert to be ex hibited at the close of the school. The debate Friday afternoon be tween our school boys on the sub ject, “Which is the more profitable, farming or merchandising,” was quite interesting, and after being ably represented. on both sides, the- decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative. We hope to hear them again. Our school will challenge the county on visitors—only 33 last Fri da]! afternoon. Dennard Dots. BY THE JUDGE. L( a " d Carriage Hardware. A full line of....

The teachers and pupils of the Elko public school, with members of their families and friends, enjoyed their annual picnic last Friday at the fish pond belonging to Mr. W. E. Means. The occasion afforded much pleasure to all, but the children es pecially were in high glee. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Shinholster died last Wednes day, and the tenderest sympathy of the entire community is with the bdreaved parents. Little Margaret, the 2-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Murrow,died last Friday night. The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends. Despite the recent heavy rains, the road between Elko and Perry is in fair condition. Though much hindered by unpro- pitious weather, our farmers are fair ly up with their work. It is earnestly hoped that the full moon period will not bring freezing weather. x * z * Southern farmers need not spe cifically curtail the acreage devoted to cotton in order to keep that crop y within profitable bounds. All that is necessary to be done is to plant liberally for plentiful food and prov- endar crops. . A number of saloon keepers in Sa vannah were indicted last week for keeping their places of business open on Sunday. The law and or der people seem determined that the whiskey sellers shall at least obey the law. Sikce the capture of Aguinaldo, several insurgent leaders with a considerable number cf followers have surrendered, and Gen MaoAr- thur reports that he thinks the end of hostilities in the Philippines is very near.

Jiist now the full moon in April promises to play havoc with the fruit. If not the heaviest, the most damaging rain of the season fell here last Saturday evening. Land was badly washed and much corn and cotton that had just been planted was so badly sanded that fears are entertained that a very imperfect stand will be the result. This is one of the years when the early bird will not only catch the worm, but— Small pox still spreads at Den nard, and under the present man agement it will continue to do so as long as there is a negro to car ry it. The school at Union Acad emy came very near being stam peded last week, a case having broken out in a negro cabin near the school. The patrons met and decided to apply to the Ordinary for a guard, which was sent at once, and school was resumed. Rev. J. T. Mimms filled his ap pointment at Andrew Chapel last Sunday. He is well liked by the people of the community. —From Monday morning to Wednesday afternoon when the Home Journal was put to press, the weather has been cold enough to cause apprehension concerning the safety of the fruit crop. This weather was expected with the eas- ter full moon (Wednesday) and the suspense may not be relieved until Friday or Saturday. 00-i> The Cuban convention has not yet accepted the demands presented by the United States congress, and many (Jubans say they will not be accepted. Others, however, say the business men of the island'are satis fied that what this country asks will be best for Cuba, and there will fi-. nally be favorable action by tne con vention. ’Tis Easy To Feel Good.
