I U ^ The last hope for making a pea crop was 011 the wane but 0 the last rains have revived y ? things and the late sowing t ? stands a good chance to make a ^ ' good yield. The people in this f section are not grumbling much 8 about a short cotton crop?a e good sign that they are verv * r well pleased. Cotton is being marketed as fast as it is ginned. Some old cynic says that life _ is cliielly remarkable for its j, disappointments. It may be r so, but the pleasure of welcom- p ing back an old friend after a 1 long absence compensates for a v whole host of them. That 11 pleasure is enjoyed in its full- 0 ness in the return of Miss Ethel ' Ross to Pleasant Valley. A c more sincere welcome was never ^ tendered to any voyager on bis j return to his native land. But, " alas, she is not like one of those * who travel from Dan to Beer ^ sheba, protesting that all is d barren ; instead, she brings ? with her all the admiration for * everything (her betrothed) e worthy to be admired in social q institutions. Yes, she has re- 1 turned only to fro again soon -j bound by the ties which man t , should not put asunder. Many ~ joys and blessings and a happy long life to her. Iiev.
