Notes
Clio, May 25. -The heavy hail
and rain storm on Wednesday
evening left thc farmers in the
Hebron section with more than
five hundred acres of cotton to
plant over. Thc same section was
visited on Saturday evening by a
rain and wind storm levelling the
ground and scatter thc seed broad
cast in many places. Such rains
arc rarely seen as fell there on
Saturday evening. This we learn
from those who own farms there.
Mrs. II II Mclaurin is still lin
gering in bed where she has been
confined for several months with a
constitutional trouble.
Messers Marion McCall and
Cl?? Jackson spent Sunday with
relatives in liennettsviHc.
Mrs. Jas II Stanton with Mr.
and Mrs. II L Galloway spent
Sunday visiting in thc Little Kock
section.
Mr and Mrs J T Covington of
Hebron spent Sunday in town
with the family of Mayor John
Barrentine.
Lawrence Fuller who was shot
in the Hebron section some days
ago died on Saturday night. On?
of his assailants, Neill Alford is
in jail, the other one, Hamp Pur
cell is still nt large.
Thc fruit crop is proving to bc
exceedingly bountiful, some peach
trees are breaking down with the
weight of fruit.
Most disfiguring skin eruptions,
st rotula, pimples, rashes etc., are due
to impure blood. Burdock Blotd Bit

The New Summertime.
The good New Summertime.
We've heard many songs and
parodies galore,
! Of the "Good old Summertime,"
I And really its (Jod given pleasures
j are sweet.
'Through profaned in sinful rhy
rao,
But its pleasures aro poison and
bitter its sweets,
Its sorrows are "lino upon line"
My soul is longing, ob, so rauch
For a good Now Summertime I
Chorus
Oh! The good Now Summertime
thc endless Summertime,
When I'll walk down tho streets
of gold
With your Savior and mine!
He now holds my hand and I hold
his, but then 'twill be joy sublime,
To be forever with tho Lord,
In a good New Summertime.
Here tho storms aro so many,
and the thunders so loud,
In this earthly summertime,
And its hot days are soon fol
lowed by winter so cold,
And so full of disease is thc clim?
But be "who was and is and is
to be,,
Says in His Word divine,
Old things shall pass away and
all things become now"
So we'll have a new Summertime!
Herc dear friends meet to part
and hearts oft ache and break
When affections prove false and
betray,
Here our fondest hopes perish
and bitter tears flow,
I And cold death takes our loved
ones away,
But God shall wipe away all tears
with his own hand so kind!
"There'll bo no more sickness,
sorrow or death,
In the good New Summertime.
