The farmers have greatly shown their appreciation of fine I farming weather for the past ' week. Many acres of -4and have been plowed preparatory to the spring planting. Many patches i of Irish potatoes have been plant ed ao well as those of early I i bans. i The prospect,? for a v/iieat crr,|> is exceedingly good. It appeals that an extra preparation is be ing made for a large crop of to bacco. Signs of better conditions j are observable in aaveral ways. Mr. Sam Wood has lately pur chased a tract of mounta'n Ir.nclu and sold the timber at a very | satisfactory price, and a lumber j man from Virginia is putting a new saw mill outfit on the place and expects a year's work. Mr. Wood also plans for a modern ! feed barn on his home farm. , In this community you will find several up-to-date farm teams lately purchased, among them we note those of D. B. Young, D. C- Wood, W. V. Wood, Sam Wood and J. B. Young, the last being purchased a year ago. Let us list the teams of B. B. Oakley and W. T. Oakley. Mr. Snider Priddy has recently bought a small boundary of land land is making improvements on lit near his home farm. Mr. Marvin Dillon has lately . added changes to his home and j with a few more prospective j changes he will have a very mod j ern farm home. It occurs to us that an electric light line should go through this community from Danbury via j Priddy's store and Percy More field's store on to Sandy Ridge. There are many splendid farm homes adjacent to this route, be sides other stores and churches. Mumps have been giving the community some concern for the past few weeks, but the scare seems about over. The school attendance is normal again. Mrs. S. H. Wood, who has been very sick for several days and under special care of the doctor, is better at this writing. We hope for her continued improve-' ment and final restoration to her good health again. There may other newß items of interest, but we have not been meddlesome enough to gather any more. MEDDLESOME BILL.
