R. Harper and J. A. McDonaldl
attended the Confederate Reunion
in Macon last week and report that
they were given comfortable fare
and kind treatment.
Monday felt like the planting
season was not past. l
The planting has been held back |
sa late on account of rain that we
hear many telling of their experi
ences ‘with late plantings last year.
Esmer Bullard planted some cotton
Mayg 26 and it did not get a stand
untdl June, and made a bale to the
acre. Charlie Wright planted some
in June, chopped it out in July and
made 1,000 pounds seed cotton to
the acre.
T. B. Guffin replanted a piece of
cotton in July and made a very
zood crop.
A volunteer stalk of cotton came
up in the woods on H. L. Scott’s
place. It had 140 bolls on it and
120 of them opened without any
work at all, so farmers here need
not get discouraged. ILost Moun
tain dirt is so strong it will maks
a crop on very short notice.
The total rainfall here from the
first of January up to date is 27.68
inches.
Miss Kennie Ward closed her
school here April 26. Perhaps there
is no country school in the country
that has as long terms as the Lost
Mountain school.
It seems blind tigers are getting
very bold. The judge scarcely has
to get off the bench to find them.
He captured one downstairs in the
court house on election day. Judge
Morris has been very persistent in
trying to break up these violators
of the law and his efforts certainly
meet with the hearty approval of
the good people of the county. He
makes no compromise with the
whisky sellers and is trying to en
iorce the prohibition law. Only
vigilant watching on the part of
our officials will ever break up this
traffic.
Cobb County has just lately dis
posed of one batch of candidates,
but there is another lot to be waited
on m August, but still elections
won't be over. The great fight for
President between the Democrats
and Republicans will take place the
first Tuesday in November and that
won't end the elections. The great
est and most important of all will
come off in December, that of Jus
tice of the Peace and Bailiffs.
The weather conditions at the
weather bureau here for the month
of April are as follows: Maximum
temperature, 80, the Ist and 28th;
minimum, 38, the Bth: average,
8.8; rainfall, 568 inches: clear
day, 1; partly cloudy, 24; cloudy. 5.

Poor stands of cotton and good
stands of grass and weeds is the
condition in many instances. Farm
ers not near through planting
either corn or cctton seed yet.
Many are becoming worried and
blue, and while it does look
bad, yet we believe that Providence
is doing for the cotton farmer what
evidently he is unwilling to do for
himself, that is, reduce the cotton
acreage, for if crop reports of those
who generally seem to know is any
way near right, then the farmers of
the South would have cut their
throats this vear had Providence
not interfered. So we guess the
continued rains are a blessing in
disguise.
Let all those concerned remem
ber, if Providence permits there
will be a baptizing at this place
near the chapel next Sunday morn
ing at 9:30 o'clock. Also bear in
mind that next Saturday night and
Sunday are the regular meeting
days of Mt. Calvary Church,

Rest In Sclitude.
The first requisite in resting is to
be alone. Every human being is more
or less of an irritation. One must get
away to his room or to the woods. As
near as possible one must secure soli
tude and silence; for it is in the heart
of what shallow people call loneliness
tLat there is found the fountain of re
freshment and a new birth of joy in
life. |

Died—Just at sunset on May the
Bth, 1912, the angel of death again
visited our town and plucked from
us a precious flower, Mrs. Roy
Tapp, eldest child of Dr. and Mrs.
J. S: Vaughn. Mamie, as she was
familiarly called, bore her afflictions
with christian fortitude. Joining
the church of her choice a few
years ago she has led an examplary
life. Being so young and of such
a bouyant spirit, life was sweet,
and she said “‘lf ’twas the Lord’sl
will would like to live for the sake
of her dear little girl, Virginia, her
husband and her other loved ones,
but if not it was alright.”” By her
sweet, loving, sacrificing, apprecia
tive spirit, had won for her a host
of friends who are saddened by her
going away, '‘None knew her but
to love, none knew her but to
praise.”” She had only been married
a little over two years and such a
happy couple this was and it is so
sad for this young husband, but God
knows best. May a kind and mereci
ful God be a mother to the dear lit
tle one, and give the father grace
and wisdem to lead them in the path
and admonition of the Lord.
‘‘By and by our ship shall anchor
