We regret to note that Capt.

county, father of W. A, Paschal
is seriously sick, no hopes of his
recovery. The old Gentleman
is over 84 years of age, a honoi-
able and upright citizen. May
he be spared several years yet.
Oar young friend Judge Qualls
had quite an experience last
week. Judge is an accomodating
fellow, and he went to Graham
to get a “pair” of marriage
lisence for some friends. When
he came hcmie he hung up his coat
on the garden fence, and the old
cow walked up and pulled the li-
sence out of his pocket and ate
them up, also one of liis coat
sleeves, so Judge had to make
another trip to the court house
and get some more. Judge
ought to feed fiis cow.,,,^^ ,
Miss Florence Saunders visited

were visitors at T. M. Ross* Sun
day. Glad we did not have to
feed that crowd.
We received an invitation to
the Closing Exercises of the Mt.
Ulla High School. Wifh we
could go. Prof. J. H. Allen is
the principal and he has “made
good.”
Several on No. 8 attended the
County Commencement at Gra

have gone, only the wither was
so bad.
Our patron Everett Rumbley

house burned last week. He

after some needed repairs they
were able to journey on Sunday
morning.
Mr. Millie Fogleman is repair

some to it. It is said it is for
Mr. Fogleman, we do not see
that the old folks need any more
house, but suppose that William
contemplates increasing Mr.
nice one too.
Mr. Bymum Allred is all smiles
its a boy.
Owing to the rainy weather
the Patterson T. P. S. S Con
vention that was held at* Cane.
Creek the 21st. was not so lagely
attended but those that were
there say it was very good.
We are not advertising for Mr.

R. F. D. No. 7.
It is time to plant corn when
the persimmon tree leaves get as
large as a squirrels ear. Get
busy.
Wheat is looking very well and
will soon be heading out.
The prospect is good for an a*
bundant fruit crop this year.
Mr. E. L. Rich is rejoicing ov
er the arrival of a little daughter
at his home.
Esq. John Dixon sold a hen to
Joe Brooks last week and Joe
went by after the hen Saturday
and while he was carrying her
home she laid an egg and Joe
caught it before it struck the
ground. This either proves that
the Esq. has a laying strain of
chickens or it takes Joe a long
time to make the trip home one.
This is leap year and old maids
are beginning to set up and take
notice of some of our old batche-
lor friends. “Dan” has a very
busv time of it last year on No.
7 and the stork is being kept
busy this year, one follows in the
footsteps of the other, yet there
are a few cases left that were
too much for “Dan’s” skill but
leap year may get things evened
up all right.
One of the left over maids is
very near sighted and can hardly
see and old bachelor a hundred
and fifty yards without glasses.
Here is hoping her sight will im
prove so she can see him a half
mile or more.
