Interesting Letter From Route 3 Editor Sentinel: As I have seen nothing in your interesting paper from up in this corner for some time, I thought I would write you some of the happen ings of this section. Everybody is bwily behind with their farm work in conse quence of the continued rainy weather. Peavines and most all kinds of hay are still lying in the fields as it was mowed. The greater part of the cotton is also in the fields, and by the contin ued damp,warn weather a great deal of corn is sprouting in the fields and scarcely n'o grain has been sown. But in the event of a week's fair weather a great change will be made. Some sickness prevails at, pres ent, but Dr. Robert Kirks-.v is exerting his efforts to relieve ihe unfortu'nate. The all-day singing at Moun tain Grove Sunday was attend edl by a large gathering of peo ple,andI fine music was rendered b~y the different leaders and con gregation. A great many fronm this see tion attended the Barnum and Bailey show-Saturday. All en joyed1 themselves andl had an all round good time. The street parade alone was considered worth the admission fee. From appearances it was represented by at least eight or ten counties, but good order seemed to prevail throughout the entire day. Res idents of the city remarked that it was among the largest crowds evor seen there. The death of Mrs. N. S. Mose ley last Tuesdayv cast a gloom over the entire community. She was one of our best women. She exercised great judgment in the management of her' farm and other affairs, having been left by the death of her hgsband for more than 'twenty years with her seven children to raise, and raised them all to the habits of industry and morality. A good woman is relieved of the cares of this life and has gone to re ceive the reward promised those who doeth the Master's will. I guess I had better quit for this time for fear this disinter esting article finds its way to the waste b~asket. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. McCord, of Liberty, celbrated the fiftieth anniversary ot their mrarriago Monday, October 25.

Only last week the Pick ms drug stores received letters rrom a large New York house wanting to buy their surplus :]rugs of several kinds.
