sons of the late Mathew McCauley,
and Lewis (Bud) Brown, has recent

handsome new barber's chairs, very
comfortable and restful to the man
who wants a good shave or hair
cut. These young colored men are
clever and obliging and have their
shop equipped and fitted with up-to
date accessories. They recently
moved into the Dr. Robinson office
which had been specially fitted up
for them. They stand well not only
among the people of their own
race, but have hosts of friends among
the white people. Their conduct
here shows what colored people can
do when they try. We have never
heard anything against any of these
three young men who are always so
ready and willing to oblige their cus

Epworth League At Home.
One of the most enjoyable social

dan.
About seventy-five young people
were present during the evening and
the occasion will long be remember
ed as one of general good will and
enjoyment.
Stick To Your Crops.
This is the year of all years to
work the crops late. Keep stirring
the soil whether you have any
weeds and grass or not. Give the
crops a chance to grow. I have
seen hundreds of acres of corn which
was laid by too soon. It Is now try
! ing to tassel and silk. Another shal
j low plowing would loosen up the
soil as well as destroy the weeds
I and grass. Corn which is left gras
?y cannot give a full yield. Now is
the time to do hoe work In the
corn if it is grassy. Never let the
hoes stop until the crop is clean.
