Mr. and Mrs. Luther Wilson
were in this section Sunday.
Mr. Albert Freeman has return¬

did not meet fortune coming down
the street. She had vanished.
It is now as dry as a powder
hou-e here. It has been two weeks
since it rained. Those dry winds
direct from Dayton, Tenn., dry out
the ground very quick but the
winds will soon change and blow
from Florida and then we will
have rain. Some of us grumble
when it is dry and some grumble
when it rain. So they may be like
the wild hog out in the mountains.
He wants the chesnuts to fall all
the time but never looks up to see
from whence they come.
He wrote in the stud on the
beach with his fishing cane and an
angry wave Came up and washed
it out. Then he said ; Oh ! cruel
wave. Oh! hungry wave. Then
he reached to Norway’s coast and
plucked a spruce and made a rural
pen and he stained the waters
clear. Then he wrote across the
lace of Yonah mountain : My
country I love thee. No wave can
never rub that out.

This is a fast age. A few
months age it mah jongatid soon it
was the cross-word puzzle and now
you hear nothing but evolution but
the flurry will soon passover. You
don’t know what to except next.
Those scientific fellows will bring
into court several cart loads of
books that are as dry as the Sahara
desert in order to substantiate their
theories. They had better find
that missing link between man and
monkey before they make so much
tuss. Some claim it is the dude
and others claim it to be the light-'
nining rod agent. Billy Sunday
says the prayers of evolutionist
are: “Our father who art up a
cocoanut tree. Hallowed be thy
name. And some Alabama coon
says: “That he is afraid of his
Father in Heaven but not his father
up a tree.
Our fathers use to have a place
to work in the gold mines whan
the crops were finished but they
have quit working at that, not be¬
cause there is no gold, for there is
plenty buried deep in these hills.
Some of us will work for Morse
Bros., some will go afishing while
others will sit in the shade of the
trees and eat apples and water
melons.
Mr. Jesse Hunt and his crew
were working the roads here but
they need sprinkling now.
The people have about finished
their crops and if they have rain
soon it will be reasonably good.
They have been well worked but
they now need some moisture.
