Holly Grove, April 14.-The recon
struction period has .been rather try
ing and we have been silent for lack
of time to .write. But having our af
fairs, as we hope, upon a secure basis,
will try to inform you of the news
of our section.
The past winter has been a very
trying one. We felt that we were
being peculiarly tried, until we heard
others say that the past winter had
been the hardest in their lives, so we
put it down to the period through
which we are )assing.
Mliss Frances Templeton spent the
week-end with her mother, Mrs. Addlie
Templeton, whose declining health is
causing her some uneasiness. Miss
Templeton is employed by the Red
Cross, of Atlanta, to give a series of
lessons in nurising. She has finished
four classes, one at Laurens and New
herry and two at Clinton. She said
that influenza is not eradicated from
the country and women are acting
wisely in learning. how to take care
of the sick.
Messrs. Rush and W. B. AMilam are
home from the army, the former hav
ing been stationed at Spartanburg. W.
It. volffnteored April 13, 1917, and
has been in service until recently. He
(nlisted in the famous Rainbow Divi
sion, among the first to go overseas.
It is fitting to honor the 30th, but we
would give equal praise to the brave
Pioneers, who went to the front and
staid there-pioneers indeed, and from
what Ofr. G. W. Shell tells us, some
fierce fighting.
Sergeant John Hamilton, after
spending several days 'with his grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Brown,
has returned to Columbia.
Several white families have moved
into our section recently: Messrs.
Ilarris, Franks, Richey and Hughes.
Mr. W. L. Shockley has some flue
thoroughbred Berkshire pigs.
We have plenty of fruit and hope
to make our garden as profitable as
the one we had last season.
Malany of our farmers are through
planting corn and are beginning to
plant cotton.
We hear much talk about decreasiug
the acreage in cotton, to which we, of
course di) not object, but last year
was an umiusual cotton ynar an(d the
favorable seasons had much to do with
over 1)rod1ction.
