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. Section 5.

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. * SPECIAL - I NDU ClMENTS THE NEW BOOKS , —See Them— ALL THE NEW THINGS IN Picture Frames THE NEW FADS IN PICTURES - ~ v.„., 8 75; Pal- ware Co., 2.58; E.E. , 1.05; Bagwell & Buf- 3; W-E.
