By Joe Bedgo,
We are having frequent showers
of raih just now, and outdoor work
is somewhat retarded. Gathering
corn aud scrapping cotton is the
motion for the present. There will
be a fair crop of peas, potatoes, pea
nuts and cane made in this seotion.
The best sweet potatoes we have
eaten .or looked at were given me
by Messrs. J. J. Houser and J. G.
Crawford. Mr. Crawford has also
a small gourd farm in which each
gourd contains a waBhrag, and he
will give as a present to'each pur
chaser of a gourd a niokel bar of
soap, pries 10c a gourd or two for
15cts.
Mrs. C. I. Bass of Hayneville,

Monday morning at the hospital in

were brought down on the “Shoe-

number of frieuds and escorted to
her home. She will be interred in
the Hayneville cemetery this even
ing at 4 o’clock. We extend our
sympathies to the bereaved family.
Will give particulars of death in my
next.
The Grovania ginnery will gin
now only three days in the week;
Wednesday Thursday and Friday,
are the‘days. This is proof that the
cotton crop in this section is about
gathered. Mr. J. G. Crawford, man-
ager of the ginnery and oil factory,
iriforms me that the company has
just finished putting in a 75 horse
power engine for their ginnery, And
their capacity for ginning will be
much better, ginning from 40 to 60
bales per day.

Death of Mrs. Sanders.
Mrs. Jeff Sanders died of pneu
monia at her home east of town
last Saturday (October 4th), and
was buried Sunday. Mrs. Sanders
was about 48 years old, and had
been a true and devoted wife and
mother for many years, and her
death is a distinct loss to a large
number of friends and relatives.—
Montezuma Record.
Mrs. Sanders was the wife of Mr.
T. J. Sanders, a commissioner of
roads and revenues of Houston
county. Living in tho extreme
southwestern section of the coun
ty, her acquaintance was not ex
tensive at Perry, or east and north
of this place, but it is known that
she was a most worthy lady.
The many friends of the bereaved
husband extend sincere sympathy. -

each and every one personally, we
offer this method of thanking our
many friends and neighbors who so
willingly and tenderly aided us in
our recent affliction and beg that

and love as a token of our apprecia
tion. And may the Divine Father
who has seen best to lay this afflic
tion upon us, teach us to prove our
appreciation by our acts and con
duct in aperies of time to come.
Very respectfully,
