News of ] importance in this section has been ] very scarce for some time. So tell ' I ley Denver I have not had time to i hunt up much news for the paper, . but if I could see him I could tell < him some things, for I am Having i some experience in a kind of house- j work, The fall work for farmers is about , over, cotton out, ginned and sold. } The oat crop prospect is not so good, ] while in some cases a good many ] were sown early enough, the con tin- j ued cold dry weather makes them backward. The later sowing has < already been killed. There is about j as much wheat put in this year as ? common, the weather having been all \ that one could wish and many have \ taken advantage of it and put their grain in good condition. Every body seems to be full of cheer; we all feel lighter when < things move fast around us (and , cooler too if it's a wind like we felt the other day). With cotton at 12 j cents, I tell you it makes a difference if we haven't got any to sell. Ap?l it is time for spare ribs and sausage if we just had the hogs. ( Ours will get fat enough to eat by , the last of March, maybe, if she don't, we can turn her out to grass again. It is time for "Pound Suppers," and "Tackey Parties," and roving from one home to another. We regret to learn that Mr. Will Long, on the Jones ford road has left us and will make his home farther from the mountains next year. Mr. Long, before leaving, treated the young people to a Pound Party and a merry-go-round, which we regret missing, tind we failed to have any substitute, so our report must be short. We would like to give you some idea of a very pleasant sociable at Mrs. Sallie Bobo's in the way of a "Tackev Party," chaperoned by Mrs. Sallie Bobo and Mrs, Amanda Duke. We can not attempt to go into details as to the garb of each and every one that would take a book in the placo of a newsp aper article. The party consisted of about 12 of the fair sex and hardly so many of the opposite, with just as many diffcro..t co-tu.nes, representing the M.ylco from the old colonial days down to the present dude Many laughable sketches will never be penned, though it will take a long time to erase them from our memory. Among those who deserve special mention for their parts well done are Johnnie Bobo, Miss Fannie Ander son, Miss Mattie Bobo, and others, Johnnie Duke and Miss Graco Bobo. of Cross Anchor, who were awarded the prize. May many such occasions be in store for us. * We are glad to welcome Mr. Albert Chaney among us again. He comes from your city where he ha* laid down his hammer apd saw.

J ones villi:, Dec. 14.?The rain Saturday night put the ground in rery good order lor plowing and is nuch help in this dry season. The price of cotton was quite firm ast week but there was little to offer >y the farmers. Two of our farmers learby however had held their cotton for a fancy price and they realzed what they had expected, twelve ;cnts for their crops; they were Messrs. D. B. Free and W. B. Fowler. They had 115 bales. Mr. Fowler says counting the expense of naking his cotton on the basis of an iverage crop, he only realized six jents a pound for his crop. One hing very sure, the cotton has about ill gone out of the farmers' hands ind the speculating on it will be imong the mill men and the brokers, ind if the Bulls run it up or the Bears run it down, tit will make but little difference to those who produco t, for they are out of it. A negro boy about ten years old, m Knight Foster's place, cut one of Knight's mules on the leg last Saturliy with an axe and the mule bled Lo death, or was in such a condition Lhat it had to be killed. Mr. W. A. McWhirtor has moved with his family to Jonesvillc. Messrs. J. F. Boatn and J. W. G oilman have both moved to our town. Mr. Jno. M. Gault has moved into his new residence. About thirty mill hands moved from Blacksburg into our town last Saturday. I understand the knitting mill at Blacksburg has shut down. Several other families have moved from the country into our mill town. /\ * ... uur merchants are getting in their Christmas goods, but they did not buy largely along that line.

The chapter here are determined to build a monument in our town in honor of the dead of this community, and they are sure to succeed, for women don't know what failure is, but success always and forever. Rev. A. A. James filled his pulpit here yesterday. Rev, W. II. White, of Lockhurt, will preach here next Saturday night. Telephone. ? Christmas Holiday Excursion Rates.
