OTTO ONSORGE.

To The Democrat:

       Cotton picking will soon be a thing of the past.  So far the weather has been ideal for gathering the fleecy staple.

       Miss Annie Powers and Miss Dovie Gilbert made a trip to Marlin Monday.
      
       Gus Leuschner and family left for Oregon Saturday.

       The school opened Monday with forty pupils.  Mr. Ellis is  our teacher. .  We hear the assistant will be here Monday ready to take charge of her work.

       The Sunday school at Hope is progressing nicely.  J. R. Waldon is superintendent and Miss Annie Powers is secretary-treasurer.  Look for Hope.  She will get in the front yet.  Miss Mabel Bryant presided at the organ for us.

       Uncle Joel Rhodes and Travis Powers are visiting down in Leon county.

       Frank Powers and brother, Sam, are visiting their mother at Reagan.

       W. A. Bryant's fine residence is nearing completion and it looms up on the hill.

       Dr. Baird is on the sick list.
      
       Wedding bells will soon be ringing around Otto, so Madam Rumor says.  Pretty girls haven't all married yet nor moved away.

       Miss Lonnie Griffin visited Miss Annie Powers at Otto Sunday.

                                                                               The Kid.
