Athens Weekly Review
March 20, 1903

Hickory Grove
School is getting along nicely.
People are not farming much yet.
Mrs. Owen and Frank Slaughter and wife visited friends and relatives at Eustace Saturday.
Alfred Riggins who was accidentally shot is getting along all right.
We have a nice Sunday school every Sunday at 2 p. m.
Robert Owen and family went to Athens Saturday.
Jesse Cook went to Eustace Saturday.
John Calloway of Goshen was in our community Saturday night and Sunday visiting his
uncle Otto Calloway.
Misses Malinda Lewis and Alice Smith visited relatives at Stockard last week.

Spring Creek School
Our school is progressing. It will be out by the middle of June.
Health is very good except a few cases of pneumonia.
We are having some good weather now.
The people have most of their land broke. Some are planting corn.
Grass is coming and cattle will soon be where they can live.
This is a stock and farming country. Wheat and oats are fine. The old
settlers think this will be a good crop year on account of so much winter
rains and snows.
I would like to hear from some of the boys and girls from Cross Roads and Phillips
Chapel communities.
This has gotten to be the best paper ever published in Athens.
Remember just one dollar a year.
Every family should read it.
Jason Langford.
Hyiton, Taylor Co.
