Have any of you ever seen the articles published in 1934, the Monticellonian entitled: "Random Recollections" Monticello and Drew Co. During the 30 years between 1872 to 1902 written by Lance Hemmingway?????????? >From the Drew Advance Dec. 23, 1894: Florence, Ark, Dec. 21: Our farmers have almost finished gathering their 4-cent cotton. The Stanley boys are winding up their ginning. Rev. W.P. Harrison, of Tillar, left last Monday for Conference. Rev. Vick, a Baptist minister, preached here last Sunday. Weddings are beginning to bloom down here: Mr. Andy Hayes and Miss Annah Moore were married Nov. 28, and Mr. J.H. Breedlove and Miss Chilonas Gillham were married Dec. 13. Mr. Hayes is in business here. (my note: Andy Hayes was my father's uncle) Dr. M.S. Moore has moved to Florence. (my note: Andy Hayes married Dr. Moore's daughter, Annah) John Henley has plenty of lumber on his lumber yard. Some of the boys below killed a bear last week. It was eating a hog when they found it, and sixteen shots were fired before he passed in his chips. (my note: it should have been dead!!!!! what with sixteen shots!!) Meat will be scarce next year. Mr. Wesley Snider killed a fine deer a few days since. The young people have a good prayer meeting at Florence. Our Sunday School is still going, and your correspondent hopes it will continue through the winter. Mr. Tom Breedlove and two sisters, of Tyro, were visiting here last week. The young people enjoyed the singing at Mr. A.L. Peacock's Friday evening of last week. Mr. U.B. Breedlove is putting his land in good fix for another crop. The people are still crying hard times. Many of them are holding their cotton for that ignis fatuus, better prices. Jann Anyone knowing anything about the Moore and Hayes family mentioned above--------please let me know.
