Wo had such a long drouth, from second Sunday in May, until 18th of July, except a shower two or three times in that length of time, and so little that it was soon gone. The branches have dried up, so the cows have had to depend on well water, and that was very low. Gardens hove about dried up, except Mr. H. G. Buncos' which, is in a little sink below his well, and it is doing fine. Any one who has a good garden now is tiuly blessed, especially if their family are fond of vegetables. And if they have more than they need at home, the city people are beg ging for them at tremendous prices. Cabbage have been almost a com plete failure all through this section, as well as corn, so the hume-wives will not be able to make "('om Relish." We will miss it this winter. The Meriwether Agricultural Ciub had their annual cue on the 20th, and was well attended, every one seeming to enjoy the delightful dinner to the fullest. The "Red Cross" ladies had ice cream for sale there, and realized a nice little sum. Could have disposed of a good deal more, if they had bad it. At their meeting on Wed nesday at Mrs. J. T. Reece's the garments were distributed to be made, and it was decided that they would have the cream at the Hall on Saturday, The W. M.
