Though rather late in the sea
son, there was a light frost here
Friday morning.
Owing to the recent heavy rains
and cool winds farm work is very
backward.
Some of the cotton seed are up,
but they were ploughed up aud
more planted, The wheat crop is
estimated at about half a crop,
but oats are better. We think it
advisable for the farmers to pre
pare for a large hay crop, espe
cially for cows, as it takes about
all the surplus shucks for the
ladies to make summer hats.
Irsh potatoes are ripe, and
spring greens are plentiful.
Mr. !J?om Kimbrevv, son-in-law
of Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Doles, was

ent, She is expected to accom
pany them on their return home.
We are glad to note that Miss
Minnie Doles, who was confined
to her bed during an illness of
beveral weeks at the home of her
brother, Mr. J. B, Doles near By-
,ron, has returned to her home
here.
Mrs. E. Sullivan has been quite
sick for several days, but we hope
she will soon recover.
Mrs. W. F. Rye returned to her

—Our Ben Hill correspondent
writes us that a new Baptist
church, henceforth to be known
as the Hardison Church, just
across the line in Crawford coun
ty, was completed recently, and
the first services were held there
by the pastor, Rev. W. L. Cutts,
on the 12th inst. A Sunday school
was organized,and it is hoped that
it will continue. A new Methodist
ohurch is nearing completion iu
this community.
—In county court last week a
negro man was convioted of cru
elty to an animal and fined $20.
It was proven that he plowed a
mule that had very sore shoulders,
using a faulty collar. If close at
tention was devoted to this class
of law breakers, there would be
more convictions. Not a few im
provident negro tenants plow reg-
u’arly half-starved mules that are
scarcely more than skin and
bones.
