GOLINDA GOSSIP.
To The Democrat:
We have had rain until we can't rest; we can't get
anywhere hardly.
This rain is helping out the local cotton
bulk as the bears cannot haul any cotton to market.
The farmers are all standing firm with
their cotton with their cotton while the roads are so bad and some of them will
be firm when the roads get good. A 79er.

To The Democrat:
One of the heaviest rains we have seen in quite a
while fell here Saturday night and has continued a slow drizzle nearly ever
since. It is necessary for all haulers to drive from four to six mules to
their vehicles on account of the desperate (missing) on the public roads.

On account of the inclement weather, we
failed to have Sunday school at either of the churches here last Sunday but if
the weather will permit, there will be Sunday school at both churches.
Bro. Izenhower will also preach to the Baptist people of this place on next

Mrs. Lizzie Hammons is preparing to move to
Marlin next week. Our best wishes go with Mrs. Hammons to her new home.
Andrew Glass made a business trip to Marlin
last Friday.
"Guess who," "Nothing" and
"Never-too-Late", come very week with our communication. What is more
interesting than a good county paper? Now let's assist our editor in this

died Sunday evening and was buried in Chilton cemetery Monday.
Contractor J. G. Bradley has about

his mother. He has been visiting his aunt, Mrs. A. O. Gaines.
Our paper, the Chilton News, published by
Hon. Forest Gaiether, is still growing and every one looks for it to get the
news.
As The Democrat is considered to have the
largest circulation of any paper in the state to the size of town and
inhabitants of the county, it requires a correspondent in every community.
With Kennedy and Linotype and press run by electricity. The Democrat is a
hummer.
