BATTLE AXE.
For several reasons, almost all
purely personal, Scribbler has been
conspicuously silent the past month,
or more. Had the notes been kept up,
however, they would have dealt large
ly—almost exclusively, perhops—with
matters pertaining- 10 me uveaww,
which s just now recedng enough for
one to feel much relief from its va
rious inconveniences.
Those who had begun to prepare
river bottom land for corn, some of
which had been planted, are now feel
ing encouraged to believe that they
may in a few days be permitted to re
sume the work and get their fields
planted in time to make a crop yet.
TodayToday, though, little of that
class of land can be reached without
swimming sloughs.
Tom Freeman, living on the Hogan
farm just above the Lockhart ferry,
was taking his plow horses in home
last Saturday, preparatory to begin
ning planting over this week; and,
while swimming a slough, riding one
of the horses and leading the other,
was drowned. Remains interred here
Monday afternoon. Ths was an un
usually sad death, as he leaves a wife
and six children who are not well
prepared to go on with his plans with
out him. Mrs. Freeman’s plans for
the future are not yet fully made; but
she has telegraphed her father, Tom
Williamson, of Texas, about the loss
of her husband, and expects to have
him with her soon to aid her in decid
ing what course to pursue.
Miss Johnnio Gardner came up

high price of labor and what is best
to do with the drowned-out places in
their crops. Whle they spend some
of their time in these discussions,
most of it is put in with hoe and
plow, endeavoring to meet these un
favorable conditions in the most prac
tical manner.
John P. Barnes went to Hot
Springs Sunday for a course of baths,
accompanied by his son, Fred N.
Barnes, who will remain with him on
ly a few days. Mr. Barnes has been
decidedly ill for several weeks, and
has decided that he needs a boil

E. F. Tyer did not sull after the
primary, but is taking his medicine
like a little man, and is showing us
what an excellent hand he is in man

We are glad to observe that the
wire worm, though present in many
fields, isn’t active enough to destroy j
much young cotton as has been his
custom in the last few years.
