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.

don't, we can turn her out to grass

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

Johnnie Duke and Miss Graco Bobo.

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
