So now, asp., e, Pr Doings of the Holiday at Cleora. Christmas is over and I think every one is glad of it, they can start another year. A good many have cotton to pick yet, and the price is so low and cotton so badly damaged that it is hardly worth picking. ' Very few got to sow as much grain as they wanted to last fall, so there will be a good deal sown in the spring. A. L. Branson, Jr., has been at home daring Christmas, having fin ished his job with the U. S. gov ernment in Florida. Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Branson have had too very sick children bat both are better now. L. R. Bronson, Jr., is sawing for Mr. Gass Morgan. We hear that Mr. Charley Thom as will more his family to Edge field some time soon. Mr. George Strom will move on the place he bought from Mr. Sam Morgan. Mr. Pearce Thomas received a Christmas present of a fine son. Our school will begin on Janua ry 1st, under the management of Misses Nellie Hill and Carrie Col lins. They will have about 50 schol ars. Mr. Tom Williams has added to his house, but not to his household yet. Miss Alma Williams is teaching the Morgan school again this term. Mr. Hubbard Williams has been on a visit to his ?ister, Mrs. Hamp Morgan, at Hepzibath, Ga. Ex-Judge Cheatham is adding an other room to his residence. The chain gang worked about 3 miles of road from W. P. Brunson's to Moultrie's mill just before the i wet spell started and you can hard- i ly travel it at all. Had they worked on to Edgetield we would be quar antined until spring. ! Most of the farmers around here made enough corn to do this year, ( but not enough cotton, owing to the ] short price. i Misses Grace Williams and Janie j Reel returned to the S. C. C. I. Monday. Mr. Clack Seigler, mail carrier \ from Cleora to Edgefield, has miss ed only one day during the bad weather. This is very faithful ser- 1 vice, considering the conditio? of the roads. Subscriber. A.
