Owing TO the protracted inclemency of the

make but little progress in breaking up

Some of our best farmers are interested in
the organization OF a Farlners'S Club at this

would accomplish much good, and hope all
hereabouts who are engaged i'll the laudable
aVOcation will take an interest in the mat
ter. Physicians, lawyers, merchants, and
preachers, all have their organizations,
which result in much good;-why, then,
cannot the farmers do likewise? We
would like very much to see a deep interest
manifested in an organization of this kind
by the farmers of this neighborhood.
An effort is being made by the young peo-
Prof. Rednlan will allow them the use OF a
room in the Academy for the holding OF

chronicle the death of Mr.. Jack Wells, who
died of meningitis at this place on last Sat

at the residence Sabbath evening, by Rev.
K. G.. Irvine. He was young man pos
SesSed of many excellent qualities of mind

his parents. But few days ago he was in
the cold and silent grave. Thus we are
again reminded that sin the midst of life
We are in death" Those who knew him best

been waited to its home in heaven. The
family of the deceased have the sincere con-
dOlence of the neighborhoOd i'll their sad
