Fair Forest Letter. i ^ Dear Editor:?There is work, work, out in those parts just now. Cotton is opening very rapidly. It was my lot to attend a good, old fashioned picnic at Mr. ('. I'. Bishop's Saturday, where hash, I chicken, pies, calces, and, Oh! I I well lots of good things to eat were I served. Those good ladies made j me enjoy it to the fullest. I am i faring sumptuously these days in I spite of the husy time. This week terrapin hugs are playj ing havoc with early sowed turnips ( | here in this community. They : leave the tops parched and dead like the army worm, hut it seems I that they are not bothering the later varieties. I have on my table a rural route directory which is neatly gotten up. and 1 think it is worthy of commendation on the part of rural route patrons. It seems to me that "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" from the home coming of one of America's greatest, statesmen. Wil liam J. Bryan. If the country will welcome him to the White House two years hence, surely a Democratic president is ever at our service. Of course a man can be a useful man and not lx* president of the United States, or any other country, hut I think Bryan could j = show his greatness to his utmost i capacity if he were president. There will be a lot of moving around among renters another year, from what I can learn. I guess t) cents cotton can't please many people anyway. x Well after all, contentment is a great blessing. I never could enjoy j God's great love to me when my j soul was bitterly stirred within me. But O! the joy of having your soul quieted within by a sweet contented j spirit, after a long, stormy youth, is truly a gift from God. But there | may lie many deeds done there that one will try to undo, jind restore perfect confidence in him j or herself, which in many cases can be done, and thereby make a ; more perfect contentedly life. Miss Emma Sparks and Mrs. IE 1 T. Bailey visited Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Estes, Sunday, at Cross Keys. Mr. and Mrs. B. (i. Greer visited j Mr. \V. S. Lawson and family i Sunday.

Herman Smith Cured. Young Herman Smith, the eight year old son of Mr. J. I). Smith, who was bit last week by the dog 1 supposed to be mad, is now cured 1 and perfectly well. His father took him to Charlotte for treatment and not to Atlanta as he expected to. The doctors applied the stone to the wound, and it stuck about two minutes only. This shows that there was some poison in the bite but not that the dog was mad. rnt_ .1 ^ \ t i iie uoeiors saiu trie <log na<l probably lieen poisoned. They gave assurance that no further trouble would be to the boy, guaranteeing their treatment. The dog was traced and found to belong to Mr. Hey Fant at Monarch. It died 011 last Saturday. Mr. Fant supposes that some one poisoned him. A School Picnic. | The pupils of Tinker Creek School and people of the neighborhood had a picnic in the grove near 1 Mr. Jim Carter's on Saturday, Sept. 8. The day was enjoyed by all who were present; but all too soon the crowd had to part and each wended his way homeward. ' ' ';;k/ . .
