Th? rains have been frequent and heavy lor the past week or two so that planting oats, gather ing corn, and all forms of farm work has been pretty much at a standstill, and it seems most likley that those who have not planted, their oats will not be able to do so for sometime. The protracted wet weather is having a bad effect on the voads, making ( travel more difficult and unpleasant and preventing "up keep" work whelk it is most urgently needed. Mr. F. B. Floyd has had one saw mill in operation in the Cedar Creek section all summer. The second milt was started up last week giving work to several hands thus assisting in the unemployment problem. The atore house of Mr. H. S. Hig gins at the junction highway 97 and the Heath Springs road has been freshly painted giving it a very at- , tracHve appearance. ' Mess. Mackey, Jones & Co. now have their com mill in operation grinding corn every Saturday. Two colored schools are now in o pevation here, one, a parochial school of the Presbyterian church, in charge of Robert James, an experienced teacher, the other, the regular coun ty school, employing two teachers from Camden. . Rev. F. A. Drennan preached at the Presbyterian church Sunday morn ing, but owing to the inclement weather no services were held at night. The . William Arthur Cunningham Chapter of U. D. C. held) their regu lar meeting on Friday with Mrs. S. H. Cunningham. After the routine business was disposed of delightful refreshments were served. Mr. W. A.
