The families who have been chilling are still chilling, though the disease seems to be gradually abat ing. The farmers are very well up with their cotton picking, and most all are selling as fast as it is ginned. Cotton has been to 15 cents, but has dropped back to about 13 7-8. Mr. J. D. Smith, an old ex-confed erate veteran of the old 39th Ga. Regiment, Co., IL, passed away last week. He died at his home where he had been living since the war. He was a brave and good soldier who left his home, his wife and children to contend for Southern rights. He served about two years in the ranks with a gun, but was detailed to tan leather in the state of Mississippi for the use of the confederate gov ernment. Bro. Smith was 82 years old. He was a member of the Meth odist church. He leaves his aged companion and four sons. Rev. J. M. Smith of this place, Thos. J. Smith. Hud Smith of Birmingham, Ala., and Henry Smith of Rome to mourn his death. Ho lived to a good old age and was likened to an car of corn fully ripe and ready to be housed in. He lived out his three score years and ten. and God saw fit to remove | him from this troublesome world be low to an house not made with hands eternal in the Heavens. Bro. Smith has been in feeble health for several years, but now is done with all I sickness, pain and sorrow, and has paid th» debt we all must sooner or 1 I later pay. i People have been kept very busy I since the hail storm to save their | cotton and we have had the finest | weather for gatheaing cotton and I corn and to sow but little | corn has yet been gathered, only [ for feeding purposes.

[I The good price of cotton has help ! <xi a great many old farmers out of I debt this year, though the crop is 'lvory WCbr while many are yet in •' debt If we were all clear of debt THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1903. we could price our own cotton, but I do not think that time will ever come that all farmers will be out of debt. I know it will not come as i long as we have to raise cotton to ! buy all our supplies, even if cotton was 20 cents a pound. The farmers could not afford to pay 14 cents for meat and from $2.80 to 3.20 for flour and one dollar per bushel for corn. 15 to »*) dollars per ton for hay. That is the way prices have been running, and the higher we get for cotton the more we pay for supplies. So would it not be wise in the farm ers to diversify and try to make the farm as self sustaining as possible. With high priced provisions and dry goods. clothing etc, I can not see much better times in the future for the common people of the country. - ■ ■.. ■ ■ a MAGILL HARDWARE CO.

The health of this community is very good. Most everybody is getting along rather slow gathering their cotton since the hail storm. But we have had some mighty pretty weather for gathering up storm cotton. The cotton picking was enjoyed at ; Mr. Raymond Kellett's Saturday the 16th, and splendid work was done. Also the tackie party Satur day night was very good. Miss Min nie Henderson won the prize for the i tackiest girl, and Mr. Alfred Math is won for the tackiest boy.
