Mrs. Richard called my attention
to a young white woman plow

worst sights I have ever seen.
I don't believe jn women working
in the field no how, thej were
not made for that, and I felt
sure we would not find any wo
men plowing outside of Shakerag,
but we did find two others plow

farther off than Shakerag. Any
girl, I don't care how intelligent

wheat and oats being partially

hail on level ground was two or
three inches deep, while in many
places it drif tedN to the depth of
12 inches. Many farmers are
planting corn and cotton over.
The 'trees in places were totally
stripped of their leaves. Many
years ago a storm of similar nature-passed
through this same
section during wheat harvest,
completely destroying the crdp.

he was so well off ; he is not
bound to preach unless he wants
to, and that may account for
his saying just what he thinks
regardless of who it hurts.
There has been quite a mad
dog scare in this section. A lit
tle lap dog belonging to Miss
Laura Edwards went mad and
bit one son for Mr. Ven Allen, one
for Mr. Jim Burch and 'x two of
Mr. W. J. Edwards sons. Three,
of the boys are applying Mrs. N.
Lunsford's mad stone, while
one of Mr. Edwards' sons is us
ing Mrs. Bradly Brooks'. Better
be careful boys .when you go
courting or you may get bit as
well as kicked.
Mr. Tom Boone Davis claims to
have the prettiest baby in the
township, and it is a most .beau
tiful baby to have to- call Tom
daddy. But when you take
the mother in consideration it is
not such an extra baby at all,
for she is a mbst handsome wo-.

WE hay e heard some' com meat on the fact thatwe do not deli vet
ice in less than 5 lb. quantittesand wft late this opportunity to ex
plain this. " r : - '
' If our customers will kindly givrthis matter a second thought, we
feel sure they will see that wecannot possibly afford to make small
er deliveries. We are selling ice at the rate of 3 5 of one cent per
pound. It requires the same amount o time, walking, and trouble
to deliver one pound as it doe fifty, ust for example, suppose-
that among, our custOmers,Svthere;,w.ere hfteenr : wjiaisnejta
pound of ice' twice daily. On the average, it takes at least 3 minutes
to make one delivery. You can see that, this would mean time
amounting to 45 minutes twice daily or 1 1-2 hours per day. In re
turp for this time, we would only have sold 30 pounds of ice
amounting to 18 cents. You can see just the position this puts us in.
NX'e are glad, however, to sell ice in any quantity at the ice wagon.
We have put the price of our ice at the lowest possible figure the
present consumption will juftify. just as soon as the consumption
increases sufficiently to allow us to operate our plant on a mere ec
onomical basis, we shall make this price proportionately lower.
It is our endeavor to give. the best of service and in every case give
extra good weight.' If for any reason you have cause for complaint
we will consider it a favor if you will notify us promptly so that we
may adjust same to your entire satisfaction.
