We regret to note the serious illness of Dr. U. G. Sanders

Mr. S. T. Sanford from Many is in town enroute to Goldonna.

Everything is dry around here it has not rained for some time.

Miss Millie Friday has gone to Goldonna on a visit to friends of that town.

Miss Minnie Rushing came down from Ashland to see her sister who was injured.

On Thursday night the 15th, a party of young people of this place consisting
of Mr. Jack Simmons, Steve Quaries, Annie Rushing, Vallie Rushing and Alice
Gunter started in a wagon about 9 p.m. to an ice cream supper at Mr. and Mrs.
Stewarts.  They had just left town when the wagon in passing under a limb
injured Mr. Simmon's arm and Miss Vallie Rushing's head also cut a large place
in Miss Gunter's head.  Dr. Joyner was summoned and dressed the wound.

A FRIEND

We have had plenty of rain in this section now and crops are doing fine.

On Wednesday night, August 4th, Dr. C. G. Saunders departed this life.  The
Dr. was a devoted husband and leaves a wife, three little children, a sister,
mother, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
Dr. Saunders was a medical doctor and practiced here for several years.  He
was also Postmaster and merchant of this place.  His family has the sympathy
of everybody.  We miss the one who has layed down this life and taken the life
beyond.  He was loved by all who knew him and is gone but not forgotten.
