PLEASANT GROVE GOSSIP.
To The Democrat:
The cotton on the black land is in a very
bad shape.
I learn from the Brenham Evening Press that
the last and final survey will begin today (May 20) on the new railroad that is
to be built from that place to Waco, which we hope will come either through our
section or by Rosebud.
John Holbrook and Miss Jessie Stallworth of
Rosebud were married Sunday night. The Lutheran minister performed the
ceremony. They ran away and were married near Salem.
Wm Ocker of Rosebud was in Marlin last week
on business.
Rev. B. J. Patrick preached at Western
church on Sneed's ranch Sunday.
E. J. Lavender and family visited relatives
on Sneed's ranch Sunday.
The public school at this place closed last
Wednesday and Miss Ada Flaniken returned to her at Oeanville. Bell county,
Thursday.
Clint McIntyre left Saturday for Calhoun
county.

CEGO LETTER.
To The Democrat:
Cego is still improving and the crops are fine,
but we farmers have plenty to do now to kill the grass and weeds, nevertheless
we have a good prospect for a crop this year. We can hear the rattle of
the binder as she handles the golden grain, which has proven to be a great deal
better than expected a month ago.
The new gin, which gave us so much trouble
last session, is now, being overhauled by Mr. Cavalry, who says that he intends
to make it run to perfection this incoming season.
Mr. Porterfield of the moody community was
here to look at the gin, as he contemplates building him one on his place near
Moody. His object here was to consider the gasoline engine as motive power
to run his gin.
Mrs. Whitaker is visiting her mother and
relatives in Alabama and she expects to spend the summer there.
Wash Bass of Oklahoma is spending a while
with his sister, Mrs. Alice Shotwell.
Bill Matthias of Lee county is here
visiting relatives and trying to improve his health. He states that he is
improving fast.
George Fox and Miss Lelia Bell were made
man and wife. May they enjoy the pleasure of life as they travel down
life's pathway.
Ords Bentley, who has been very ill, is
able to be out again.
Nearly every fellow and his girl took in
the concert at Eddy.
H. T. J.
Note: Ords Bentley should have been Oras Bentley-lsc
