Athens Weekly Review

May 20- We are now having some favorable weather and useing the best of it.
Alfred Bolin of New York visited here Sunday.
Several from here attended the singing at Pine Hill Sunday. We wonder why they didn't name it "Pine Forest" instead of what it is because we believe that name would be more appropriate for the place.
Clarence Lee of Athens was visiting here Saturday and Sunday.
Miss Opal Dewberry of Athens was here Sunday evening visiting friends.
Frank Scott purchased a new Ford Saturday. Who'll be next?
The party at Bob Downing's last Saturday night was enjoyed by a very large crowd of people from the surrounding communities. A few from here also attended the cream supper at Murchison and report lots of cream.
There was preaching at the Baptist church Sunday and Sunday night by Rev. Chas. Williford of Murchison, the pastor. A large audience was present at both sermons and the sermons were very much enjoyed.
There was singing in the afternoon at Black Jack with quite a few present. We trust we may soon regain the honor of having a good singing class here to which we formally held. Owing to the lack of co-operation among the citizens here in the pearly part our class failed to come up to its expectations. Let's make it better.
A message received last Wednesday from Jacksonville stated that Mrs. Worsham, who is in the sanitarium there was somewhat better.
Miss Eula Hargett, together with her cousins, Miss Lucille amd Eugenia Green will attend the summer ??? ??? ??? it will do better we this summer.(Can not read previous line)
Bob Downing and family motored overto Brownsboro Sunday afternoon.
What has become of C. W. C. nowadays? He must surely be making political talks and very busy or else the editor and he has had some hard words and lost out. Come on C. W. C.

You can't put thatold fellow out with harsh words. He'll be back as soon his "corn" crop is worked.Ed.
