BEAR CREEK ITEMS.

Last Sunday moring the distant roll
ing thunder and the gathering together
| OF the floating Clouds were prognostiC
of rain. The furnishing vegetation cup
| ped up its almost withered foliage, anX-
| lous to battle its scorohed leaves in the
beautiful rain drops. Thick and fast the
| floating elements of clouds gathered I'm
| til the earth became darkened, and all
| thought terrible storm was brooding.
Nay, the credulous and stuperstitious
expected to see the predictions of West
Tennessee's monStrOsity verified in the
black looming cloud. But these fears
and anxities were groundless. A gentle,
| refreshing rain came down, and wet and
cooled the heated bosom of old mother
earth.
j. d. Cooper, one ofouEoldest citizens,
was paralyZed on one side, last week.
1t was thought he would never getwell,
but he has survived the shock, and it is
probable that he will recover.
Mr.. Wash Gordon's saw mill in the
neighborhood of Bear Greek, came near
being destroyed by fire one night last
week. 1t caught from the engine, 1t
was discovered, however, in due time
by one of the hands to save it.
On last Thursday, evening, 18th inst,
the young people met at the residence
of Marshall Martin, and spent the even
ing in convivial mirth and dancing.
nv MISS y anu bnO haIN~
some Miss Nc, graced the soiree
with their presence and smiles. After
an hour or two spent in chasing the
fieeting moments on the light fantastic
toe, came an elegant supper, such as no
one but Mrs. M. can get up. Water
melons, peaches, confectioneries and
other good things contributed in no
small degree to the enjoyment of the
merry participants.
Mr.. Bob Akin and wife, of Mississippi,
have been on visit to their relations
on Bear Creek for several weeks. He
will return to Mississippi in September.
Our esteemed citizen, r. A. OgilYie,
who has been in feeble health for some
time, went to Beaver-dam springs sew
eral weeks ago. We hope the waters
have restored his health.
Visiting our creek from near Spring
Hill is the winsome Miss Sallie Mel;
also from near Ashwood the charming
Miss Emma J.
During the last two weeks, overseers
of roads in this neighborhood have been
busily and daily at work on them.
Some of the roads which were almost
impossible during the past winter have
been put in fine fix for travelling.
The long dry spell has caused cotton
to open very rapidly during the past
week. There will be about half a crop
