From Schley

The young people are enjoying themselves in various ways, such as hunting, 
fishing, croquet, etc.  They picnicked at Hill’s mill and Patton’s pond last 
week and claim to have had a delightful time at both places.

Mr. L. Hill raised last year on thirteen acres of land ten bales of cotton each 
weighing over 500 pounds.  He has ten acres of the same land planted in cotton 
this year and expects to make a bale per acre.

Mr. J.T. Collins has a patch of two acres planted in corn which will make 40 or 
50 bushels per acre.  He is contending for the premium offered by the alliance 
No. 7 for the largest yield per acre.  He stands a good showing to win the 
prize.

Protracted meetings are now the order of the day.  Rev. C.D. Adams has been 
carrying on a meeting at Hopewell which resulted in much good.  Rev. Mr. 
Tidwell, pastor of Concord church, has been protracting a meeting at Prospect 
church.  Rev. Mr. Bray, an over the creek man, has been preaching for the 
people of Wigginsville.

An entertainment was given the young people of this community last Friday night 
by the Misses Patton.  Misses Edwards and Hally, who were visiting the Misses 
Patton at the time, furnished some nice music for the occasion.  All seemed to 
enjoy the entertainment and regretted for the time to come when they had to 
leave.

Dr. Murray, who has been practicing medicine in this community for a number of 
years,  has moved to Tazewell to take the place of Dr. Edwards.  The doctor is 
much liked by the people here and they seem to regret that he moved.  May he be 
as successful in the future as in the past.

Mr. Rufus Murray and sister, who have been visiting relatives and friends, have 
returned to their home in Macon county.

Mr. Howard Rodgers, after making us a short visit, returned to his home at 
Garden Valley.

Mr. Shealy, of Macon county, is visiting friends here this week.  From the 
looks of his team we had almost decided that he would carry somebody back home 
with him.
