EEMINOLZ Health about as usual. Chills and fever still prevails in some families. < Rev. B. F. Guille preached at Wai- ■ nut Grove Sunday. t evening in this part of the county, evening in this part of the couynt. The biggest half of the cotton is 1 already picked. I Mr. S. E. Jones, county school com- t missioner of Chattooga county, in forms me that perhaps we can get t Prof. Christian to teach the Chat tOGgaville school. We would like to i see him and if he can come- and see | the trustees he may secure the school i for the next term, as 1 understand ; Miss Lula Williams will not take the school. f Crops are very short, in this sec- i tion of county. And all farmers are f very busily now gathering the crops, c We have no time to go anywhere c except to the fi<-ld, unless compelled i to. We really are too busy to stop t to go to mill, if we could get bread t without going. Our people here have a got a move on themselves. 12 7-8 cts. J cotton means something to us, and c it is being sold very rapidly and d every man, woman and < hild that t can pick cotton are now in the r field and as fast as it can be pick- v ed it is hauled to the gin and then to market and sold, and if the price : still remains good we will soon bld goodbye to our 1909 crop of cotton. Our debts are to pay, that Is our ra- 1 tion bills, our guano bills and by the time all is settled we will be about ‘ even with the world again. We notice In the News that Dave f Henley will soon be around to see us ail about our taxes and as I will 1 make only one bale of cotton this year I am not ready yet to pay. Dave will have to wait with me until I * get my cotton picked and sold. , 1 would have liked to have been with the old Confederate soldiers at ’ their picnic at Summerville last 1 Saturday, but I was too busy to go and the weather has been fine for 1 picking cotton and we must get it out so we can pay our taxes, as we 1 don't want Tiny Glenn down here levying on our old sage fields for taxes. 1 hope all our old ex-confed erates had a good time. We all do surely deserve a little of the good times of this life for we have seen hard times and rough times and hard fighting and marching. Dur ing the four years of the war I near ly walked all over the Southern Confederacy, and I got so tired tarry Ing my knap sack, gun, cartridge box, and haver sack and canteen of water, that 1 promised myself if 1 ever did got home 1 never would carry anything any more that I could get out of honorably. 1 was at Lyerly last Friday. John Rose wanted me to try a disquali fied ease for him and 1 did hate to quit picking cotton and peas to go. But John is a good fellow and brought me home one time from the army when I was tired and sore walk Ing and currying that big, heavy load. Well, Mr. Editor, excuse my long letter this time. 1 feel like , when I get to writing on the war, | taxation and cotton picking and get ting a good price for it that 1 hard ly know when to stop.
