The oil mill started to work with
a full force of hands Monday morn-
ing. This is an enterprise upon
which everybody in town and
country should bestow their best
wishes. It causes the farmer to
get a good price for his seed and

ber of hands who spend their earn-
ings at home,
Bring your chickens, eggs, but-
ler, cabbage, potatoes and etc., to

men at Williamson,Blocker & Co's.
A barn belonging to Mrs. Laban
J^L.an north of town, was destroy-
6a by fire last Saturday morning
together with the contents thereof.
Origin of fire unknown but it is be-
lieved that it was the work of some
tramp who slept in the barn and
started the fire by smoking, Sev-
eral barns have burned this fall
and just how they caught is a mys
tery. The faimers should keep a
close watch and if any tramps are
found lounging in the community
a few doses of hickory oil might
nd the country ot aTew unaccepta-
ble carcasses.
Rememder the Racket Store
is the place to get your tablets
pencils, paper and etc.
If anybody believes that cotton
seed are not wanted in Honey

and try to rake up kinship either
by affinity or consanguinity. Be-
fore the square is reached this buy-
er will be joined by two or three
others equally as anxious to buy
and the seller is sure to receive
plenty of attention and all the
mone} that bis cotton seed are
worth.
For writing material, tablets, etc.

Wallace Wood and lady re-
urrr!fd Wednesclay from Chicago.
Wallace was pounced upon im-
mediately for an explanation of his
getting lost in Chicago, which he
gave He says the trouble was
all the result of the street <ar driver
taking the ladies to the "Smith
Boarding House" instead of the
Smith Hotel as he instructed. If
Smiths are as numerous in Chicago
as in Honey Grove but little blame
attaches to the driver.

of the black-land regions but at

* A number of negro wenches
have been domiciled in the city

of their deviltry. The other day
the street commissioner started
the dusky offenders to cutting
weeds when one of the aforesaid
damsels, too lazy to work, affirm-
ed that she was sick and began to
fill the air with screams. The
Commissioner was too old a hand
to be thrown off of guard by such
dissembling and seizing a switch
he gave the wench several lashes.
The remedy proved a success and
the colord lady was soon willing
to return to work.

We heard the other that army
worms had appeared in some of
the cotton fields southeast of town
but our informant stated that it
wras too late to do anv damage of
I a. count. Speaking of the ravages
of this worm a farmer formerly of
Mississippi told us that he had
known the cotton crop of an entire
county eaten by them in a few
days. They travel in droves like
an army, going from field to field
eating the entire crop as they go.
He also said that the farmers
would locate the worms in a cer-
tain field, then meet in a body and
dig ditches around the same, drive
the hogs in the ditches and guard
the outlet from the field to destroy
the worms, which they often did
successfully.
