Farmers are not quite done work
yet.
'Die rains still continue and the
crops are looking tine, there being
plenty of cotton bolls very well
grown.
Mr.'John Morrison lost a fine
gray horse recently. W. C. Bell
also had a good horse badly injur

1). W. Bell left recently with his
little daughter Annie, for Atlanta

very much heretofore.
Judge Franklin and sou, and

There is some talk of starting a

week by the writer.
Mrs. M. E. Bell left for Ft. Payne
last Sunday to visit relatives and
friends.
Health of the country continues
good. G. W. B.
REUBEN, GA.
o
News is rather scarce in this
neighborhood this week.
Most of the farmers are done
laying by their crops which at this
time are very promising indeed,
and if the rains continue there will
be an abundance of corn made in
this section. Cotton is also look
ing well and is well formed.
Miss Alice Wood, who has been
visiting in Dirttown for some time,
left for her home in South Carcli-
Monday. Her friends here
wish her a safe trip.
Last Monday about 9 o’clock, J.
R. Ross fired up the boiler to blow
it out and then went to Mr. A. H.
White’s afer a tape line to measure
some lumber, and while he was gone
the fire by some*means caught the
mill, which in a short time burned
down. The saw mill was ruin

o
A few words from our burg might I
not be out of order and hoping this I
may escape the waste basket 1 will
write you a few lines.
We have had a line rain and the;
farmers have on a big grin for they ;
feel pretty certain of an abundance j
of the staff of life for another
twelve months. 'Wheat and oat
threshing have been the order of;
the day for the past week or two.;
Some few crops of wheat turned
out very well while others were
very sorry. Fall oats were good
and this being the case we should
sow largely this fall, as I for one
had rather risk the freezes of win
ter killing the oats than the dry
weather in the spring.
1 see in the News that Minor
has complimented G. A. Ragland
very highly in regard to his corn.
He says he has good land and that
on some of the land you cannot I
stand straight and touch the silk.!
Mr. Ragland says he will hereafter
have to plant his corn on the dark
of the moon to keep it from grow
ing so tall.
Cotton is looking fine now and I
hope that farmers will make enough
to pay all indebtedness this fall and
be free men once more; we can
then fall in with G. A. Ragland
and raise the high corn, but which
we must admit will be troublesome
to gather. Cannot our old far
mers tell us how to cultivate a
corn crop so that it will not grow
so tall? We have heard much
talk about planting by the moon
or on the dark or the light of the
moon and would like to have some
light (moonlight) on the subject.

BROOMTOWN. ALA.
We have had splendid rains and
the crops are very well laid by and
are growing fast and prospects are
firstrate for corn. Though cotton
is late. If the seasons continue as
favorable for two more months as
in the last two, we look for a large
yield.
I think it would be well for far
mers living in 10 miles of Trian to
haul their cotton to that place in
the seed, and thereby avoid using
jute bagging, and cotton bagging
too.
Mrs. S. C. Little is in bad health
but is thought to be improving.
Prof. Lon Doster is very sick.
Mr. Arthur Shamblin has charge
of his school.
It is now believed by nearly
every body that we will have two
railroads through this valley ere
long. If so, the question is where
will the crossing be? Every one
thinks it must be near.
Will some correspondent tell me
a remedy for chicken lice. One
that will be harmles to the fowl.
I know several remedies such as
coal oil, but it devours the chick as

Revs. Mr. Webb and Leath will

James S. Wilder has got to be a
peddler on goods and chickens.
J. F. McCullough, who has been
unwell for several months is im

D. C. Jones rejoices over a—its a

There’s a young baby at Lum

Cyrus McCullough’s. These three
babes were all born between mid
night and 3 o'clock the day follow
ing.
Every thing will come out right
yet. Sandy.
HILLSBORO, TEXAS.
Editor News: —You may think
it very strange that an entire stran
ger should write to you, but I have
been receiving a copy of your paper
for some time past and it brings
back to memory my boyhood days
when I was in old Chattooga coun
ty, and I thought 1 would write
you a short letter which you can
publish if you wish.
I have been away from Chattoo
ga a long time but I love to think
and talk about the old place yet.
It has been about thirty years
since I left there, but 1 see names
in your paper that makes mo glad
and brings to mind many things
that occurred in the past that I
could write about if I thought it
would be of interest to your renders.
Perhaps in the future I may do so;
at present I want to give you a
brief outline of Texas and the crop
prospect here this year. Texas is
as tine a country as there is in the
world, and we have a fine climate,
good fruit and vegetables and last,
but not least, good people, who rep
resent nearly every state in the
union, but are mainly from Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi,
Florida and North and South Car
olina. Our people are as generous as
in any county, and when it comes
to schools we claim to be ahead.
We have good churches and as rule
they are well filled, I know that
in Georgia, Texas has a bad name,
but it is because your people are
not well posted. If any one will
come out here and see, he will soon
find out his mistake. There is less
crime in Texas than elsewhere, if
one will take in consideration the
size' of the state.
Now as to the products of Texas
we have peaches, apricots, pears,
figs, grapes and berries of various
kinds that are better than in
Georgia but apples do not.do well.
I have been over Texas and final
ly settled herein what is known as
■ middle Texas and what I think is
the best portion of the state. This
j county (Hill) is principally prairie
but there is enough timber to sup
ply the demands. The prairie is
black waxy lands, and as tine as
any in the state. The timber land
is a sandy loam and very product
ive, and is better for fruits and veg
etables than the prairie. The wheat
crop this season will average twen
ty-five bushels per acre. Cotton is
as fine as can be and it is thought
will make one to one and a half
bales per acre, so you see that we
have fine prospects here for a crop.
I. would say more but fear 1 may |
tire you and will close for this
time. H. P. Collins.
FROM LAFAYETTE.
As I have not seen anything in j
your paper from our little city, I
will drop you a few lines.
We have have not got a big;
boom here, but a permanent one,'
and our town bids fair to become a
city some day. There are about
ten houses nearing completion now,
not saying anything of thos« that
have been completed already.
Our town is one of the best loca
ted in the state, situated on a
slightly elevated plain. The health
is good, there being no sickness in
town, and we have as good water as !
can he found in North Georgia.
We have forty or fifty summer
boarders here now, and would have
more if they could get a •coniinoda
tion. Those who arc here express
themselves as being perfectly de
lighted with our village, the cool :
mountain air and pure water. We
are always glad to see the new
comers, and hope to be able to ac
commodate a great many more by ■
another summer.
ThegVisitors of the past week are
Mr. Hardwick and family, of Dal
ton, who were the guests of Mrs.
Johnston; also Misses ('ante Pit
ting and Jennie McCutchin, two
charming young ladies of Dalton, I
are visiting Miss Turnpie Johnston.
I Misses Mary an 1 Louisa Jennings,
of Nashville, Tenn , have been vis
iting Miss Maggie Nash.
The young people of this place
spent a very pleasant time at the
home of Miss Avis Fitzpatrick last
Wednesday evening. Those who
wanted to dance had an opportuni
ty to do so and the others amused
themselves in many other ways.
Miss Maggie tiininons of this
place is visiting friends at Rock
Spring.
Mr. J. E. Patton is in Chattan
ooga on business, he says.
In conclusion let me say to any
one who should by 'chance happen
to see this article, and want to pur
chase a home. could not do better
than to come to LaFayette.

and hope this will wake him up.
