The Natchitoches Times Aug 15, 1913 BETHEL NOTES A good rain fell here Saturday which ended a six week's dry spell. The farmers of this community are through "laying by" and are enjoying a much needed rest. Cotton is good, but the rain was a little to late for cain. (sic) Miss Naoma Garland of Alexandria, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. H. O. Collins, returned home Sunday. Messrs. Joe Byles and W. A. Gipson went to Sodus Wedensday. Mr. J. Gibson, who is spending vacation at home, spent three days in Mansfield last week. We hope to have a little extension made in our mail route next week. NELLIE
