The big rain in Parktown Saturday afternoon was almost a cloud burst. some hail fell but did no damage.

Some of our people had to come home from Butler in the rain Satur- day. Virgil Jenkins says the farmers keep him busy fixing their plows. Truman Gilbert, the weather fore- caster, says it will be time to plant corn before long. Geo. Rubel is the proud owner of twin mules. L. L. Judy is buying eggs. Wonder when the good people around Virginia will calla meeting to make arrangements for the State Wide Prohibition Campaign? Will some good brother be like Bryan, break silence and call a meeting.

Now there are 4 young ladies and each one thinks she is the one hinted at. Young Aaron is glad that there are so many young ladies with such bright prospects for titled husbands from abroad. But Young Aaron does feel sorry for the home young men that are waiting on these young ladies so attentively with their minds full of bright prospects for the time, like the young peoples meetings, be united, never dreaming that the union will be with the fellow from abroad and they will be left broken | hearted to mourn the departed. But) do not let the gladness and"sorrow of | these titled prospective weddings | dim your vision of the pretty home | wedding nearly due. A band has been organized at Vir- ginia and in order to raise expense money they will give Saturday night, April 16th, a.concert and literary pro- gram. The young people of Amster- dam and Hume have. been kind enough to lend assistance and there is no doubt-but what there will be an interesting program. Those interest- ed in the wellfare of Virginia and/ neighborhood will attend. | Geo. Crooks and his sister, Mrs. J. H. Park, were called to New Home Tuesday morning to see their | mother who was taken very sick! Monday.

Clover was about again last week. Grandpa Merrit died quite sudden- | ly Saturday. He was living with his son, Charley. We learn that there was quite a} hailstorm at Rich Hill Saturday. Quite a few farmers are planting corn. Clover hears that the good people of New Home and vicinity organized aSunday School at the New Home school Saturday. It isto be hoped that the people will stand by the Superin- tendent and the work, and not turn their backs on him, as some of them did on the Superintendent three years ago. Monday will be Mrs. P. Y.

We saw Bob Bennett leading in a new horse the other evening. Bob says that he can’t farm without a team. Rall and Will Hensley are turning the dirt lively on the Bell farm. Mar Cole, with his three grays and new riding plow are moving dirt, while Uncle Tom, in the old-fashion- ed way, is getting the stalks off of the ground. When Clover was a boy, we cut the stalks with a hoe, picked and piled them by hand and then burned them, but Uncle Tom dug his down, then picked and piled them. There seems to be some kind of a malignant sore throat going about over the county seeking whom it may afflict; Missie Miller had one for some two weeks. If it had not been for her nerve, she would have had to dis- miss her school, and Miss Ada has jhad it for two or three days, while | their mamma is complaining of being jafflicted with it also, and we hear | that it is general. Monday night we had a fine rain, did you? Had some hails, but they were small. We were needing rain, and now if the weather man will just let up at this for about two weeks and give us another one, we will be grateful. Clover supposes that the work at the new shaft is progressing all right. At least they are doing plenty of shooting. The drouth is surely broken. We sympathize with the school teachers, who have to walk from a mile toa mile and a half.

Uncle John Compton and Uncle George Borland were business callers at Butler Saturday.

Lige Bohanon, who has been here on a short visit, returned to his home in New Mexico last Saturday. We take notice of the columns of Pleasant Ridge Items in the Republi- can-Press where Comette speaks of Farmer John assisting the Democrat candidates of the county ticket. He will stand by every loyal Democrat and fight Cannonism until the judg- ment day, and if Comette’s composer makes the race for Recorder on the Republican ticket, he will need some- thing more than the assistance of case is| NUMBER 24 Mr. and Mrs. Marsh rown are the proud parents of a baby girl, born Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
