At the request pj The People, Mrs? M. B. Hagood, mother of two children who were operated on at the clinic held here last week, has written an article expressing thp parent’s vieV- some places where this crop was pro- point of the results accomplished. Her tected from the cold wind it is thought that the grain will come* out and make ti relatively good crop with favorable conditions from now on, but there are hundreds of acres that will have to be p!a»ted over. The farmers are going to do this as soon as there are indications that the cold-weather for this winter is about •passed. , N Mr. and Mrs. f. E.

A bad place in. the road ia said to have caused Mr. Phillips to lose control of the car. The machine, which is the property of Mrs. Lessie B.
