BUZZINGS FROM BISMARCK

Rain, Rain, Rain.

Crops are fine in this section!

General Green (familiarly know as Crab Grass) has stationed his army near
Bismarck and is doing some damage to crops.

Mrs. N. M. Collins has been very ill, but we are glad to learn she is
rapidly recovering and will soon be up again.

Mr. R. T. Reid was a visitor to Bismarck last Sunday, looking as jovial and
lively as ever.

Our community was somewhat shocked a few days ago at the mysterious
disapperance of Mr. J. D. Rhodes, who left his home about 12 o'clock last
Wednesday night. Mr. Rhodes was highly esteemed by his many friends here
and was well thought of by every one who knew him. The cause of his
disappearance is attributed to insanity from some unknown cause.
