Description

A newspaper article of community news titled "Haymakertown Notes." It reads,

"We have had a long hard winter, and the farmers are behind with their work.

Our school is making a good average now, under the good management of Miss. V. M. Hammond. The school has had a hard time - first was broken up by the measles; then by a smallpox scare. Our Catawba correspondent spoke as though it was near Haymakertown and that there were five cases. He has been badly informed. We do not claim it is "near." Let that be as it may: the scare and small pox both are over.

Mr. A. F. Duffy left Monday on a business trip through the South.

Mr. H. L. Hammond was at hom elast Saturday.

Miss B. O. Gardner left New York on the 8th instant for a trip through the "Holy Land" and to attend the World's Fourth Sunday School Convention at Jerusalem April 18-20.

Mrs. H. L. Davis has returned from spending a week in Roanoke with her daughters, Mrs. Hartman and Mrs. Clemer.

Mr. C. B. Manges spent a few days in our neighborhood last week, in the interest of his box factory.

We hope to see work commence soon on our new school building. The site for it is a beautiful one, and in the center of four neighborhoods.

Mr. Lou Watkins, wife and little Mary spent a few days with his brother, Mr. J. B. Watkins, before leaving for Tennessee.

Mr. M. O. Jones and wife left this week for Oklahoma.

Mr. Phil. Brumfield is on the sick list.

Miss Gerna Lockett has gone to Auburn, Ill., to make her home. Many good wishes for her future welfare follow her.

Mrs. M. E. Sessler has returned from a few days' visit to her brother's family, Mr. L. E. Manges, on Mill Creek.
