ATHENS WEEKLY REVIEW

ALEY
(Special Correspondence)
Aley, Feb 19 - Saturday night just before day we had a downpour
of rain, accompanied by quite a wind storm. With a brisk norther
and a clear sky Sunday morning. The winter thus far has been
unusually warm.
The past Wednesday R. L. (Lee) Gardner died and
was buried at King’s cemetery Thursday. Mr. Gardner had
been in bad health for several years. He is survived by his wife
and seven children. He also has one brother and one sister
living: William Gardner of Pauls Valley, Okla.
and Mrs. E. C. Carrifee of this place. All the
relatives attended the funeral except two sons and a daughter, Jack
and Jim Gardner and Mrs. Maggie Jones,
of California. The Rev. L. M. Masters of
Terrell, conducted the funeral services.
Most everybody in this part is engaged at gardening. Such as
planting of Irish potatoes, onions, cabbage and the early plants.
By next week some say if the weather is favorable they will plant
corn.
Health in this part is good at this writing excepting bad colds
and hoarseness. C. C. Wright visited the writer
last night; he was so hoarse we could not recognize his voice.
C. C. (Chester) Wright foreman of CWA says he
has orders to work fourteen men 15 hours beginning today then the
work will cease. This work has been the means of subsistance for
many worthy people during the winter months. Let us hope by the
time another winter arrives that we will not have any further
need for CWA or direct relief. Give us high prices for farm
products then we are assured that prosperity will abide with all
classes.
END (note: norther and subsistance were spelled this way in the
article)
