We are very sorry that Mr.
Wilkins could not (ill his appoint
ment at Pleasant Plain church
last Sunday. We are sorry that
the grass has taken possession of
his crop so that he can't go to
preach. We were glad to see so
many out to hejir him. We were
glad to see Mr. T. J. Batten, of
Micro, and Miss Ettie Mozingo,
of near Carter's Chapel, un to
hear the able sermon which
brother Wilkins always delivers.
We think Mr. Ilatten can report
another very pleasant call.
Mr. T. .1. Batten carried n
bunch of grass to the city of
Micro last week that measured
:3b inches across. Ilesaid he got
it out of his tobacco patch. We
think that if he don't stop calling
so much that the seed will mature
and come again before the fall.
Mr. C. F. Broad well saw a wild
cat in Little creek last Thursdav
evening near Mr. Iredell Batten's
house. He has been seen by two
or three others near the same
place.
The people were glad to see
Mr. N. E. Edgerton out at the
Kirby school house last Sundav
evening to help Mr. George Vick
conduct Sunday School there.
Crops are looking prosperous
in our section, tobacco especially.
