Rain and cold weather was the order of the day, though rather late in the season, the early part of this week. It was feared the fruit crop was somewhat injured, but men of experience with fruit say it was not far enough advan- ed to be killed. Owing to the recent rains and fresh working, the roads of this section are in a deplora'ble condi tion and some of them are difficult to travel. The overseers of the roads differ somewhat in opinion as to the amount o’f labor to be used on the roads. Some are ap plying it to the extent of the law, and say they will work the entire fifteen days, while others deem it unnecessary and will not work more than is absolutely neces sary. The County Commissioners have granted a public road from Hous er’s mill by Mr. R. S. Wool folk’s and on by Mrs. Bassett’s place which, when completed, will fur nish a nearer and straighter route from Byron to the mill, Mr. A. J. Houser has charge of the road and will have it in traveling order for the people of that section by time the wheat crop isharvested. Mr. D. J. Walker’s wagons loaded with seed cotton passed through the village last week to Mr. G. F. Doles’ ginnery, where he finished ginning his crop of cotton made last year, His crop must have been immense by its taking him this late to finish. One or more of our f tuners have planted corn, but if it had been up Tuesday morning, March 18, it would have fared bad. One of the most enjoyable so cial events connected with the history of our village, was a party given in honor of the young peo ple of this vicinity at the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. James T. Hancock Wednesday night, March 19th. It being a bright moon light night and the weather pleas ant, the company began to assem ble early and by half-past eight o’clock, the party was completed, each anticipating the pleasure in tervening between then and the time for their departure. The guests were Misses Caroline John son, Maryanne White, Murrie Russell, Pauline Tabor, Mamie Rooks and Kate Johnson; Messrs. S.W, and A. W. Tabor, J. A. Rooks, J. W. Preston, J. P. Heard, Leonard Rooks and Carl Sledge; Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Ault- man and Masters Claud and G-us Smith, Willie Merritt and Virgil Rooks. The party amused them selves with music, (violin^and harp) quadrills, tete-a-tetes and jokes until the clock proclaimed the hour of midnight, when the guests began making preparations for departure, each affiriming that it was one of the most enjoy able occasions of the season, and hoping to meet again soon on a similar occasion. We regrtt to say that the con dition of Mrs. J. H. Howard is not yet much improved, and she is still suffering from a long and severe illness. Mrs. W. A McLemore has been seriously ill for the past few weeks, but we have been informed that she is some better, and her recovery is very much hoped for. Mr. Ed Stalneckerjhad the mis fortune to lose a mule a few days ago. Mr. Joe P. Heard, one of the R. F. D. mail carriers, had the misfortune by accident to get his buggy broken Friday, while deliv ering mail on the route. 8-22. The Thursday Afternoon Oluh. We had such a delightful time when our club met with Mrs. H. T. Gilbert, on the afternoon of the 6th inst., that it should have been told of long ago. But good tilings keep well, and so memory will play us no tricks in recalling the happenings of that afternoon, though recounting them is quite another thing. Our charming hostess, as she moved among her guests; reminded us as she left our side of Longfellow’s beautiful lines, “When she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of exquis ite music,” to which her graceful assistants, Misses Annie Holle- man, Mary and Martha Killen, lent a charming acconipaniameut. ☆ ☆ Xa. lyi crxu’s.
