For fear the readers of the < dear old S-J will forget there is I such a place in the world as 1 Cateechee, and that the editor I will erase our name from his list of correspondents, we will again attempt to pencil a - few scattering thoughts to that dear old paper. The change of season is now here and the green foliage has put forth its appearance, mother earth will soon be at her best again and the old bachelor feels like basking in the sunlight. Owing to the few pretty days of late, the farmers are sure hustling and it is well enough that they should get a move on for planting time is here and but very little work done.] The writer, in company with Mr. Rufus Nimmons, of Seneca took a drive of about 40 miles in the up-country one day last week. It seems that the rural I section is in a prosperous con dition from the looks of the im provements that are being made. It was our pleasure to stop with Mr. Duff Bolding and take on some refreshments. Mr. Bold ing has a nice little farm with a neat cottage on it. He has 42 bales of cotton stored away in his barn waiting for a higher price. He makes plenty to live on at home. He has a good outlet and is .served with his mail from a rural route near his door. When Mr. Bolding began to perform on his organ and1 sing (and right here we want to say it is worth a ten mile drive to hear him play and sing) the thought came to us "with all. your surroundings and a man1 of your talent you ought to be a happy man."~ We next stopped at Mr. N. D. (Dock) Parsons. Mr. Parsons is running a country store, has, a nice dwelling erected in a beautiful. place and from all ap-] pearances is living at home and taking three square meals a day from Dock Parsons' table. -We next stopped with Hugh Revis a few minutes. Everybody knows Hugh, but everybody doesn't know that Hugh has 222 acres of good ~fertile land right at the foot of Woodall moun tain. The reason they 'don't is because so few of Hugh's friends are brave enough to risk their lives trying to find where he "roosts." However, we want. to tell those who haven't been fortunate enough to find his roosting place, that when you do find it (provided you live to get over the road) you will find him doing well and clearing money. The best piece of wheat we saw was at Mr. J. M. Nations. Mr. Nations has a good farm and he too makes plenty of hog and hominy at home. The next day it was our pleasure to visit another section of the county in company with Mr. S. H. Ussery, of Belton, fertilizer inspecter. We saw miany Imrvammnet in the ecuntry that we visitedt on thif, trip. We notice that mo t of the small grain crop, espec ially oats are being sown in the drill and we think this a good 01 idea. If the farmers would di- A versify their crops and experi- h( ment more there would be bet- A ter results. al M1 Mr. J. W. Williams has his m iew residence about completed.
