The Travellers Garage is installing a

will be open day and night.
The Highway Motor Company has
received the New Sport Six DeLuxe,
the new Star roadster. It is an entirely
new sport model that has just been
turned out in the last month or two,

It is a car of beauty and grace, as well
as power and durability, and promises
to become a favorite.
Last week during the electrical
storm, a bolt of lightning struck the
Methodist church and damaged it
slightly. The lightning played one of
the usual queer tricks of nature that
no one can understand. The South
gable was struck and burned, and from
then straight to the ground, the siding
had been kjostfrted and splintered
in a strip several incehs wide. In-
side the church nothing was injured
except a post which was on the ros-
trum and had all the varnish knocked
off from the north side of it. On the
north side of the church a window
was broken out. Now the question is,
how did the lightning strike in three
places and not damage the church to
a much greater extent? Many have
tried to answer the question, but we
will probably never know just how it
all happened.
Mr. H. C. Travers very kindly and
generously donated two melons for re-
pairs of the church. The melons are
Tom Watsons and weigh 55 pounds
each. They were on display in Kau-
fers windows for several days. Chan-
ces were sold on the melons at 3 for
25 cents. There were to be two lucky
numbers drawn, the lucky numbers
to get the melons. It was estimated
that about. $20.00 would be collected
for the church repairs.

son with their families left this week

Some four and one half inches of
rain fell in this section this week mak-
ing the harvesting of grain crops a
matter of difficulty and increasing the
posible damage to cotton by worms.
Quite a number of Ricardo ladies
spent a pleasant day with Mrs. Fer-
uson. The usual bountiful dinner was
served. The afternoon was spent in

ango and fruit orchard one day last Friday night July 2nd. is the regular
week. For several days something that! * immunity Meeting at the Ricardo
strangely reminded her of a long pro-! ^ ommunily ( enter, the school House,
cession of elephants has attracted her! (, N Fon, madf. a ,,„sinf.ss trip to
eye in passing. Mr. Passmore, the care
taker of the orchard, satisfied her cu-
riosity by pulling back the canvas cov-
erings and revealing vines heavy with
bunches of ripening grapes. He then
explained that the grape vines were
covered to keep the birds from eating
the fast ripening fruit. They are the
Carmen grapes which become a rich
dark purple and will be ripe within a
few days.
The muscadine grapes grow over an
arbor and will be ripe in .about two
weeks.
In his nursery garden Mr. Passmore
has many kinds of plants and vege-
tables with which he is experiment-
ing. The garden huckleberry, which
belongs to the egg plant family, is an
attractive berry, but is a disappoint-
ment to eat from the vine. However
after cooking by a certain process, It
makes a delicious dish.
The fruit crop will be light this
year due to the cold winter and per-
perhaps will not be even the average
crop. We are not saying much about
the oranges at this time because we
are sure they will prove an interest-
ing subject when they are ripe. We do
know that the Washington Naval or-
ange wlil be ripe first.

about your home that would be inter-
esting to others, let the reporter know
and she will gladly come help you

ed in the lives and accomplishments
