CASTORIA For Infantsand Children,
Dennard Dots.
BY THE JUDGE.
Sunday was a rainy day and we
had to say our prayers at home.
Mossy creek has been on a boom
since Saturday, and the flood gates
have been taxed to their utmost ca
pacity to keep the water from over
flowing the dam. Probably more
water has passed through Dennard
than at any one time Bince last Sep
tember, or since February, 1896.
Very little plowing can be dono for
several days.
Many planters had commenced to
plant corn.
The grain crop is beginning to
show some signs of life, aud may yet
make a good yield.
Much cotton and guano has been
hauled to and from the railroad
within the past few days, one man
alone having shipped to Macon
about 16 bales. Though the cotton
crop of 1901 has about all been dis
posed of, here and there may be
found a bale.
Candidates are getting restless
and are beginning to stir. It is to
be hopsd that the executive com
mittee will see fit to name an early
day for the primary, and apart from
the state and congressional primary.
Our county primary is entirely local
in its aims, and in my opinion can
didates for county offices should not
be handicapped by candidates for
state and national offices. In sup
port of the call for an early primary,
I may say that many of the candi
dates are farmers, doing their own
work, or making a hand at least, and
it will be to their interest to have
the primary come off before the
grass begins to grow. It probably
won’t make any difference with the
gentlemen who hold the teat al
ready; it won’t be unfair to them, at
least.
By the time this reaches your
readers Miss Evie, eldest daughter
of Mr. and. Mrs, J. O. Sandefur, will
be the bride of Dr. Fair S. Brinson
of Stillinore. The bride-to-be is one
of the most beautiful and cultured
young ladies of this section, and it
may be said truly that the groom
has drawn a grand prize in the lot
tery of life.

BY SOCKS.
A recent letter from a friend in
the great bluegrass state informed
us that it rained there sometimes,
too. That’s no news, I am sure, for
the little sprinkles we have been
having for the last few days is good
evidence that the country is not suf
fering for the want of water. We
never saw the ground so wet, and
farming is at a standstill. Much
corn has been planted, but people
will be anxious about stands, etc.
On Sunday many branches were
swimming and travel was cut off.
The public roads are. also badly cut
up aud washed.
Last week two negroes of this
community were painfully shot
while fooling with pistols that were
not loaded. One got a bullet in the
stomach and the other in the leg,
from a 44, but little damage was
done in either case. This makes at
least a half dozen negroes that have
been shot in the county within the
last few months, and all claimed to
be accidental.
Politics is getting warm and the
candidates are passing compliments,
etc. Well, they are all nice fellows
and it’s a real,pleasure to shake
hands with them—the grip is so
cordial and assuring.
We never were so anxious for a
little garden sass and some fried
spring chickens, but the prospect is
gloomy to-day for the garden sass,
as we can’t tell where a row was
made in our garden, from Saturday
night’s rain. But fresh country eggs
and butter are on top, and we are
getting there just the same.
