Correspondence of The Gazette. - BELMONT. Se.pt. 8. We had two k hardralBS bete last week, one on 1 .Friday and on ; Sunday which were needed very badly. , Mrs. Cluster Jflcholi Is getting well fast from ber .recent Illness, to the delight of ber many irlends.wMr. Abe Mauney Is ".moving from the Tuckaseege Cotton . Mill to the Majestic Mill this week , Mr. Mauney was spinning room over seer a Tuckaseege for several years ' .and holds the same position at the .Majestic Mill. "... In your paper some time ago it - was stated thatj Bell's Park baseball team was the bejpam in the coun ty, -while at the same time our Bel mont boys have beat them two .straight games. I Just want to keep the record straight. Fodder-pulling time is here and ithe farmers had ' better be making - hay while the sun shines. The doctors report a good deal of fever in their practice. It is bad to .have the fever for we have tried It Sometimes a little cleaning up will .prevent a 'Serious case of fever. An ounce of prevention is woth more 'than a pound of cure. Did you ever notice how a man who gets drunk wants to get in the most public place where everyone ' xan see him? Makes some people ) smart to get drunk, you know. I think a man who makes a habit of .getting drunk is a little lame in the , upper story, don't you? Rev. George W. Belk preached some mighty "good sermons here last week in hie tent. We believe Mr. Belk is a good Christian man and if . .every one who heard him at Belmont would do as he told them to do we would have more Christians and " 3ess wordly people. .They say a certain fellow who - went to see the haunted house close to Mountain island one night last -week, ran when he heard the haunt And left his shoes In the house. As . we haven't but one pair of shoes it would take more than one haunt to make us leave them. Little Tommie Leeper, who has been sick for a long time, Is up and About again. Lewis & Leeper are fixing up their cotton gin getting ready to gin the farmers 15 and 20 cent cotton and yet I beard a fellow say the other day that the farmer could not make anything raising cotton at that price. It is funny to hear some of these little 2 by -4 politicians get to talk ing politics and some, times writing about it when the most of them know Just about as much about what ' Ihey are writing as & big torn "cat. When it gets 'so I haven't got any thing else to write about my pen will he' silent. Now see If it don't. I want to help my fellow-man and help onua up the town I live in. I want to try to leave it better than it was wnen I moved into it. I want to "have friends, not enemies; I want good neighbors, not bad ones; I want to live In peace, not always In a fuss, and' I want to be respected, sot despised by my neighbors and I cant have all these things and aft the , same time abuse my fellow-man be cause he don't see things like I do The Good Book says if we want to dis right we must live right but the trouble is that you can't get people to believe this until it is too late.
