MELSON MELLANGE. _ < Melson, Ga., March 14. Our farming people are quite I forward with farm wqrk, from ! four to six weeks ahead of last season. Everyone seems hopeful and in high expectation of a “big” crop, Yes, a cotton crop too. More guano, more acres and better implements to culti vate cotton. There is no talk of reducing the number of acres. All want more bales of cotton. Wheat and oats are beginning to grow as the opening of spring approaches. Gardens are back ward. No blue birds yet. Mr. Sheldon Simms, professor of mathematics in The Synodi cal school, in Rome, with his wife and little daughter, Susan, spent two days of last week with the parents of the former. Mr. P. B. ’Simms, principal of Fincherville High School, is visiting his parents at Melson. The outbreak of smallpox caus ed him to suspend his school for an indefinite time. Letters received from Fincherville say the disease is rapidly spreading. Melson High School is in its tenth year, and is now a better school than ever. Mrs. M. E . Sheldon has’been quite sick but is better. Seed cotton is being hauled to the gin of Mr. R. B. Simms, so you see the cotton crop of 1897 is not all sold. Mr. Jefferson Trammell has been sick a long time but it is hoped he is better now. More anon. Busy Man. BACK FROM NEW YORK Mr. J. A Gammon Returned Yesterday.
