Quite a jolly party of the young people and school
children went out hunting Thursday morning and spent the
day in pursuit of rabbits, etc., on their return they
said they had their dinner in Crawford or Houston county.

fine singing, beautiful dancing, and the moving picure.
Large house last night.  Come out, laugh and grow fat.
Programme changed every night.

Near Reynolds there is a farming section called “Delta”.
Mr. Hunnicutt of the Southern Cultivator, hearing of the
quantity of corn that is shipped from this section, but
forgetting the name, called it Egypt.  This seemed
fitting and the prosperous “Hog and Hominy” farmers
accepted the new name with satisfied smiles.  This
section has just added to its fame and back account by
shipping a solid carload of hogs; big, fat, corn-fed
fellows, to an Atlanta packing-house.  As a beginning of
what seems to be the trend of thought of these
progressive farmers this act is worthy of notice.  The
hogs came from the plantation of Messrs. T.W. Pool, Ricks
Bros., W. Harp and H.B. Farish.
