SHOAL (REEK NEWS
Picking cotton and going to the
gin is the go now and if a fellow
had over half a crop at the price its
selling he could pay some debts
and buy a sack of Hour and a plug
of •‘backer.”
Soon be time to go ‘possum
hunting hut sweet potatoes are too
scarce for the ‘possum business.
A man was seen passing through
these parts last Sunday. The man
was leading a dog and carrying a
gun and wore big whiskers and
was iiHiuiring for Leather’s Fort?.
He was told all the Fords were
gone except Henry’s output, lie
said he was in a hurry and didn’t
want one of them besides he had
iiis dad to care for. We don’t
know who the mail was.
We once knew some girls and
the whole bunch wanted a fellow
named Bob. But now Oh! how
great, everyone can get a bob.
"File\ say KoberL is proper so we
guess the women get a hair Robert
when they go to the barber shop.
Oh! Lord, its nearly tax paying
time. We are glad we don’t own
the county. Some consolation
anyhow.
Dog on some fellows they give a
fellow a lot of trouble. Some of
them want to be Methodist, some
Baptist, some Presbyterian " and all
sorts of befiefs. Then conies those
hateful Democrats and Republi¬
cans. We can’t see why people
believe everything, but they do.
We have decided to let them be¬
lieve whatever they want to and
the world will keep on going
round and round. Don’t you
think so.

ASBESTOS BUZZING
Mr. and Mrs. Oliie Turner ac
compatiied by Messrs. C. 11 . and
Jess Thurmond were visiting Mr.
and Mrs. Lenton Adams Sunday.
Mr. Charlie Harper has a fine
crop of corn this year. JI is land
was wet and the dry season suited
it.
Mr. C. II. ‘Thinmond lias begun
to make syrup. He is an old syrup
maker and knows his business.
Mrs. S. K. Cox wild had a
severe case of fever is now able to
be out again.
Messrs. Miles Berroug and Carl
Wilson, of Iliawassee, were in this
part Tuesday.
O11 last Friday afternoon there
arose a small cloud about the size
of that one in Elijah’s day. It did
not look like.it would rain much
but many things have small be¬
ginnings. It proved to be an elec¬
tric storm. A few of the unjust
had some fodder in the fields—not
exactly fodder but stems for the
“pack saddles” had eaten the (od¬
der and were fighting over the
stems. Tins was blown away and
next winter they will turn out the
old cow to hunt it. It also blew
out some of the bumble bee cotton
and some of it was mingled with
the dust.
Next year is more than likely to
be the hardest time since Lee sur¬
rendered at Appomattox. This
was a time that tried people’s
souls. The Confederacy was cut
oft from the rest of the world and
had to relv on her own resources.
All things that she could not raise
she had to do without—such salt
black pepper, spice and coffee.
The people dug up th.e dirt m their
smoke houses and bleached it to
get salt fotr it is ktmwr. that man
and animals can not do without
salt,
A cotton suit was more valuable
then than a silk one now. Our
money was worthless, our slaves
were freed and our crecit was gone
and this was followed by the re¬
construction.

a ringing speech which brought
cheers from the crowd, assembled
before him, as he referred to a few

natives of this and surrounding

Prof. A. T. Wilson, superinten¬
dent of Cleveland High Schpo),

know, I was reared in Cleveland,
and 1 am indebted to my environ¬
ment in Cleveland and White
County in the pure atmosphere and
companionship and Christian
guidance, coupled with a love of
our mountain scenery tor the spirit
that prompted me in writing the
essay which has won for me so dis¬
tinguished mt honor.”

YOUR 1926 CORN CROP
According to the College of Agriculture the
average per acre of corn in 1926 should be in¬
creased 15 bushels per acre if vetch is planted
on the land this fall, rightly grown and turned
under in the spring.
If the above statement is true it is worth con¬
sidering. We of course, are anxious to see
every farmer prosper. For this reason we
shall be glad to place you in touch with those
who can tell you all about the value of vetch
and how to grow it to best advantage.
Consult the County Agent.
