Jackson Argus February 3, 1899
If you will give me space in your columns I will give you a few dots from 
Elgintown.

This is a nice little town, with one store, managed and controlled by Hammond 
Bros., and the post office with W. H. Hammond postmaster.  The town also has a 
public square with the courthouse thereon.  We have two churches – Baptist and 
Methodist.  Rev. W. J. Hardy is the beloved pastor of the Baptist church, with 
reaching every second Sunday and Saturday before.  The J. A. Sewell is pastor 
of the Methodist church, with reaching every fourth Sunday and Saturday before.

The Sunday School Convention meets with Liberty Baptist church here on Friday 
before the first Sunday in April Next.   We hope to see all the Sunday schools 
well represented on that day.

It rains so much the farmers cannot sow spring oaks.  If it ever gets dry 
enough to plow the farmers will be so busy plowing and sowing oats they wont 
have time to cuss a cat.

If this fins space in your paper I will write again.
