This fine autumn weather has made things pretty interesting and stirring for the farmers. The sowing of the small grain crop is now in order, as the cot ton crop will soon be all gath ered, be the crop large or small, but short, we think. We are glad to hear of the old time corn shuckings again, as that means bread at home. The young people seem to be enjoying the long winter even ings recently with singing3 and candy pullings.

W.F.Hendricks, a well known lumber man of the Oolenoy, sec tion, is moving his saw mill to W. D. Hendricks' p'ace, where he has bought a large boundary of timber. B. F.

Edens, Jr., has re cently added to the yalue and convenienceof his home by plac ing thereon a system of water works. The .lant is operated 'by means of an overshot water wheel. The spring from which the water is brought is located 1200 feet from the residence, the height to an elevation of 100 feet. The dwelling is supplied with water direct from the spring,the surplus overilowing into a ce ment tank: from thence to barn, bathroom.,law n. etc. Mr. Edens is the pioneer along this line in his community. And to think ing people this has a broader value than to the mere individ .ual. It nieans that others will follow the example or perhaps some inventive mind will im ,prove on his plan. Many streams which hitherto have flowed idly and unconfined, the haunts of the barefoot boy, will be har nessed by the power of inven tion and 'brought to convenient places for use. The work has attracted much attention.. The spirit is con tagious. The leaven is working, A. 1).
