On May the fourth, the saintly
soul of Mrs. Sallie Gaines Meau^
quietly passed from earth and an
chored on the Golden Shore. Pos
sessed of a quiet and gontle disr
position, she was the pride and
joy of a happy home and the ob
of admiration with all her

but to love her. As she was the

Well, Mr. Editor, we have had
the “blues” so badly this spring
and summer until we “couldn’t
make it.” We have lost twenty
pounds of our avoirdupois, and
that makes us “bluer.”
)ur oldest citizens say they,
have never seen such heavy rains
as we have had this year. Some
of our fields and roads are badly
washed ; the heavy rainB left our
lands in uery poor physical condi

seemingly unnecessary work.
At. one time we thought our corn
prop was doomed, but it has
“coiiqe out” wonderfully. I put
the estimate of our community’s
corn ciop at .86. But my, my,
what cotton 1 I estimate it at .60,
and we will have to plow through
August without any watermelons.
We have, and have had, a very
good gardeli, with some chickens.
