! January 81, 1914.
| Our farmers, Notwithstanding the I'M
favorableness Of the weather, are already
going to work piowing their grounds and
re-setting their fences, as though they
meant to engage largely in their business
We are glad to note this mark Of progress
and we hope to see their labors sbun-
dainty rewarded, as our soil, though much
undulated, is very productive.
The public school at this place will
close on next Thursday.
Mr.. P B. Lewis will open school in
the Masonic Hall on Monday, February
10Th, 1874 Mr.. L. Isl man Of high schol-
ar.lke attachments, and will doubtless
make a-mark of improvement in the vi
cinity. l hope to see him most heartily
supported and encouraged in his enter
prise.
1 uniformed by Mr.. Geo. W. Hutchi-
son that he contemplates selling his prop
erty in town to Mr.. Thomas Stephens, who
says he is going to run hrs;-class hotel
IN our town. Should Mr.. II. sell, We hope
to see Trout's Hill ornamented by the
erection of large commodious dwelling
somewhere near the courthouse, where he
will be convenient to his Office, as he is =
man of bad health, and will doubtless be
called upon to fill the Office Of County
Clerk for years TO come.
Prof. 4. c. Toothman, vocalist, was in
town this evening, and gave quite an in
teresting entertainment. He will be with
us again on next Tuesday night, at which
time he proposes to open series OF lee
lures on the science Of vocal music
hope TO see the benefits of bis labor in our
midst. They are greatly needed.
Court will convene on Monday next
Quite an interesting session is expected.
The hotel-keepers, especially the proprie-
tors of the Bowen and Stephenson houses,
aIe making spacious preparations to en-
terrain tie people. 1t might be well to
say to those interested that Uncle Dan"
has procured quite number Of fine large
turkeys, which he proposes to feed his
yenteel guests upon during court.
Mr.. Hutchinson informs me that lie has
lad the pleasure Of making four persons
happy during the past week by issuing
heir marriage license. Ii | remember
correctly, the parties are as follows -
mo. L. Hanley to Miss Mary L. Hensley,
md J. W. Napier to Miss Elizabeth For
er.
You will hear from me again concerning
he proceedings Of Court. c.

GROUND Hoe DAY.-Among the
superstitions of the country, few are
more generally believed in than that
Of Ground Hog day, which teaches
that if the varmint comes out of his
hole on the ID day of February, and
the sun is shining so that he can see
his shadow on the ground, he goes
back, and sleeps six weeks longer,
but if he does not see his shadow, he
remains at home only short time.
The Ground Hog certainly did not
see his shadow in this part of the
country on the second of February,
for it was a damp, dark, drizzly,
dirty sort of day.
