HALL COUNTY
BOY WRITES EROM
INDIAN TERRITORY.
Mr. N. H. Smith of the Pork
district, received a few days ago a
letter from his son, George, who is
living at Chelsea, Indian Terri
tory* from which the following ex
tract is taken relative to the crops
out there:
We had 3 weeks rain the last of
May^and the first of June didn’t
plough but three or four days in
three weeks, and the weeds didn’t
fool us about growmg. We have
had rain every week since then
until this week-—had a fine rain
last Sunday, Corn sure looks fine.
If the seasons hold on I will make
1500 bushels of corn. Cotton is
doing very well. Melons are not
doing much, the bugs worked on
them so long. The wheat crop is
pretty fair, oats are fine. We fin
ished cutting ours this week and
'V ‘ • - ? • •
will stack them next week. I
think they will go forty bushels to
the acre. We will have the most
of them thrashed. Wa have the
best garden we have had since we
have been keeping house. We had
beans and potatoes till we got tired
of them, and have been having
cabbage, cucumbers and beets,
and will have roasting ears in a
few days, and tomatoes also. Our
sweet potato patch is as fine as I
ever saw. I laid them by Satur
day. The first setting grew so
fast I didn’t get to plow them but
onetime.

Changed Residences.
Mr. J. A, Lyle has moved flpm
his place on Spring street to the
one which adjoins it, and to which
he will add some improvements.
Mr. J. B. Lipscomb has moved
into the house left vacant by Mr.
Lyle. It was supposed to be on
pccount of the unsanitary condi
tion of the place on Athens street,
from which Mr. Lipscomb moved,
that typhoid fever entered his
family, and as a sad result we
have had to chronicle the death of
two of its members. Now that
those conditions have been left be
hind, we confidently hope the two
members of his family who are
down with the fever, will speedily
be restored to health. *
