The first part of August is the time many people sow turnips. With exceeding dry weather the turnip seed—unless in some damp low land or swamp—are not likely to come up or live and grow on the dry soil after sprouting.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph L. Phillips and family of Americus, Ga., returned home Friday after spending several weeks with his sister, Mrs. T.J. Frazier and other members of the family.

Hay-making is now on in Watauga and doubtless the yield will be the lightest ever harvested in the county. The best bottom meadows may make one-half the crop but many farmers are cutting on fourth to one-third of former yields. The cabbage and potato crops are also damaged by the protracted drought, which still remains unbroken. –Watauga Democrat, July 30th.
Wilkes Superior court begins August 10th. The Hustler was in error last week when publishing that court was to start this week. August 1st was first Monday for meeting of the various county boards but not the convening of August court. We regret very much if any one of our subscribers were inconvenienced or inconvenienced themselves by the mistake. August court last year was set for beginning August 4th, but this year it is August 10th.
