Miss Emily Margerum returned home last Friday from Garwood where she was just finished a very successful year of teaching. Mr. C. O. Graham was gone a few days last week with a car of garden truck. The rain which we had last week was just the thing. It is making the crops move along in fine shape. The Friendship Literary will meet at Margerum’s Saturday night. The farmers will be kept pretty busy cultivating, for since the rain the grass and weeds are more than growing. The peanuts that are up are doing splendid and if the farmers will take advantage of our last rain and get more planted the chances are that we will have the largest crop ever raised here. peanuts will grow successfully here so why not plant lots of them?
