Britton.
Dear Editor and correspond-
ents. I was glad to enjoy one
more Thanksgiving, although it
was raining down here.
Cotton is about all out in
this section now and I sure am
glad it is, for it has been rain-
ing off and on ever since Sat-
urday night.
1 Grain is sure looking fine
now and some of the farmers
are still sowing when it is dry
enough to sow.
Well, Mr. Editor, how have
the gins been running out there
this fall? Our Britton gin has
ginned over 1400 bales this
fall and is still ginning some.
Will Allcorn and wife and
Mr. Fred Moreland and wife
are going to leave us in a few
days, so it is reported, to spend
Christmas in Young county
with relatives, after which they
will return to near Mansfield
for another year. I would be
glad if they would settle in our
community.
All of you people who like
tender beef come to Britton.
Fred Moreland and Will Allcorn

the other day and it sure was
nice,
I was sure sorry that I was
not able to write last week. I

Some of our young people j

were enjoyed by all present.
Mr. C. W. Akers and brother
visited Mr. J. C. Akers a few
Orth.
Mr. Earl Clark came down on
the local Friday afternoon from

days with M. E. Clark and fam-
ily. M. E. Clark and family

a few days with his father and
mother. Elder and Mrs. D. J. E.
Clark of Dakin.
Mr. Holmes is unloading a
couple of cars of lumber for Mr.
S. R. Jeffery, who will build
sheds and feed pens for his
steers.
We had quite a cyclone here
Friday night. It took the comb

another house and if it had not

The late rains have made the
roads so soft that an empty
wagon with a little dog trot-
ting along behind makes a pret-
ty good load for a team. They
have also packed the land down
in a way that a few, weeks’
drouth will dry it out on top,
and the man who is not up and
doing when the land is in good
shape for plowing will have a
big lot of clods to contend with
next year.
E. K. Criswell has moved to
Henry Chapel; sorry to see
them leave and in the move we
