wonderfully.

Miss Mary Ella Newsom who attended school in Kerens was
home for the week-end. P. H. Bristor, her uncle, came for her

The writer notices Clifton Hatton has an ad "seed corn for
sale". Good, so long for that. The price is right and the grade
and quality first class. Here's one farmer that wants to try the
seed. Have I a second? The law says plant lots of cotton but
here's believing some corn bread would go good and help a
case of "cottonitis" as Mr. Gillespie terms it. Eh, Uncle Dick?

Everyone remember church next Saturday night, February 13.
Bro. Joe Everhart of Kerens fills the pulpit. Sunday School
Sunday evening at 3:00 and prayer services Sunday night at 7
