"PURGATORY LETTER.
Editor Herald: - The wheat generally has been housed. In quantity and quality it is very superior. The hay crop is very good, but the outlook for corn and oats is not very promising. The fruit prospect is nothing extra.
We are needing rain badly, and vegetation is suffering.
The Misses Barnes, with several gentlemen, visited Lexington on Tuesday last.
Mr. W. M. Garland and lady, from Roanoke, paid friends and relatives here a flying visit a few days since.
Misses Lottie Garland and Lillie Houser, accompanied by Marvin Garland, attended the festival at Andrew Chapel on Thursday. They report a delightful time.
Mr. W. C. Houser and family visited at Mr. Geo. Alphin's a few days ago.
Mr. Willie Pierce and Miss Ollie Byer visited Salt Petre Cave a few weeks ago.
Mr. Melvin Byer, who was injured in clearing away the wreck at Dillons, has returned to duty at Clifton.
Mr. Dorman Pitzer, of Rocky Point, will leave next week for Georgia, where he has a railroad contract.
Mr. Norvell Mason, from Munford, was in our midst a few days since.
The extreme hot weather and flies would try the patience of Job. Do you suffer from anything in that line, Mr. Editor?
Rev. A. F. Pursley gave us a good sermon last night at Mount Joy church. We have prayer meeting once a week. Our Sunday Schools are in a flourishing condition.
Mr. Editor, come, and see us ; this section is on a regular boom. More new houses, barns, sewing machines, mowers, &c., and just a plenty of fried chicken and 'sich like.'
July 12, 1897. Pansey." - Creator
