His sermons were pro nounced by the hearers as being full of wisdom and deep thought. We hope the people' of this county will have another opportunity of hearing him. The Price of Ijjnd. Many farmers have become weak kneed and desire to sell their farms. Now is the time for men who have money to pick them up as lands will command higher prices in this coun ty in a few years than the people would believe. Mysterious Disappearance. Mr. Frank Boyd, a well-to-do Tar mer of this county, bade his family goodbye last Wednesday and has never been seen since. The family and neighborhood are very mucn alarmed as he sometimes has strange spells. They have examined all the mines around and Friday intended to drain Mr. T. J. Falls' mill pond near his residence. Mr. Boyd has an industrious and good wife besides ten small children with whom tne community sympathize in their sad troubles. From Cherry villr. Cherryville, Sept. 28. The sea son, though late, has put new life in the old land. The parched earth Is now moist, the heated atmosphere is now cool and pleasant and every thing looks vivid and gaily. Farmers are at work gathering in the cot ton, seeding oats and breaking land ior wneat. provisions are scarce and work plenty, though all classes appear to enjoy life finely. Old men plow and whistle, young men plow. whistle and sing. Old women cook the scanty morsel and rejoice that they still have soemthing to cook to keep soul and body together. The girls pick cotton and sing Home Sweet Home. Cotton is bringing to day from 10 to 11 cents. Every-' thing is lively here and we all feel happy. Veritas. (To Be Continued.)

First Killing frost for the section of the State along the 34th parallel will oc cur this year with October 18 as the central date, predicts W. P. Houseal, the Dutch weather prophet of Colum bia. Severe frost at this date, he says, will be the earliest within 12 years. Killing frost 12 years ago oc curred October 1 1, 1 904, as the earli est date for that year and all other years since that time. Indications during the periods of low tempera tures also make slight frost probable about October 7. he thinks. "At least two snows of large pro portions are indicated for the section south and east of the Blue Ridge," he continues. "Winter temperatures will be lower than last year and more frequent in occurrence. "The probability of a West India storm along the South Atlantic coast has been dissipated by the preva lence of the South Atlantic hurricane of July 15. Observations of West In dia hurricanes shows that such dis turbances usually occur during a sea son in groups, and the first storm of the group is seldom followed in the same path by a subsequent storm of the same origin. The storm oi July 1") absorbed all the resources on tae land upon which such storms main tain their intensity and destructive character. In this respect, there fore, nothing in atmospheric condl lions nas remained upon which a West India disturbance which was reported as having originated in tne Caribbean sea was dissipated as soon as it entered the interior of Florida."

They were on their way home from Hickory Grove In an automobile. It was pretty dark. They passed a wagon and on it was a complete blockading outfit. "I reckon its was complete. said one of them, but 1 did not stop to make inspection. Really it was not mine, and I did not want it.
