The weather has been rather 4 cold on the young cotton for the ' last few days. 1 Mrs. J. S. Menius of Concord, N. C. died May the 6tli at the home of her father, Mr, J. I. Nicholson at Concord. Her parents were raised in this coujty. She leaves to mourn her death a husband, one little daughter, a father, mother and two sisters. She was an ac complished young lady and was loved by all who knew her. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved. Mrs. Susana Rushing of this community has been very sick, but glad to report her much better. Messrs. J. C. Rivers, L. P. Sel lers and F. Moore went for a fishing trip last Friday and re port good luck. This writer is of the opinion that some of the farmers will have to plant some cotton over after the heavy rains. Some of the men and boys in this communitv have about decided that they will have to go to the war. The gardens, are looking fine at present and I think the folks will soon have plenty of vege tables. The wheat is heading out very well. Jack.
