Miss Cora Sowell. daughter of DIR. SoweIl,
a bright and beautiful young flower of &C.
dar Creek, is visiting friends and relatives
in this co community. Happy beyour sojOurn,
Mrs. Saiiie Perry, widow of the late John
Perry, is visiting relatives and friends In
this community.
There has been some excitement, and
quite quantity and variety of windy spec
ulations about DIR. Derry berry'S speed ring.
81 never was 50 much mortified in all my
life as when l returned home and found
race track near the church, said the old
Elder after returning from preaching
tour, the ring having been opened in his
absence. Probably worse scared than hurt.
Our apprehensiOnS have been aroused in
regard to the early sOwn wheat since the In
dian Sumner has commenced; and also we
have discovered that the graSShOpperS pos
sess much more vitality since the warm
weather has set in. We notice quite an
army of them throughout the country.
The grass has nearly all been killed by the
late frOsts, which leaves them scarcely
nothing to subSist upon but the wheat, and
we anticipate its very material injury.
The season of protracted weddings has in
deed commenced in this community. On
the evening of the 10Th inst, at the resi-
dence of the brides father, Mr.. John Dean,
Mr.. r. Henry Nicholson was married to
Miss Matte Dean, by ESQ. d. X. Hays. At
tendants: Mr.. W. Ira Harrison and Miss
Matte Nicholson; Mr.. w. F. Hays and Miss
Bette Minor. On the evening of the Dist,
at the residence ofthe brides father, Mr.. A.
b. Phillips, Mr.. Marshall Ellington and
Miss MOllie Phillips, by Elder ID. r. Soweu.
Katie Derryberry. We have also recep-
ton to mention which was given by Elder
d. r. Sowell and lady to theiryOungest son,
A. Bingham, who was married on the
morning of the goth to Miss Katie Wade,
eldest daughter of DIR. Nade, of MurfreeSbO-
TO. Attendants! MI. T. ] HardisOn and
Miss Gertie Wade sister of the bride who
accompanied her sister to her new home at
Campbell's Station. The above named par
ties are worthy of each other, and we ex-
tend them all our best wishes for their fu-
ture welfare. May love, peace, plenty and
happiness be theirs through life; and may
they all so live that a crown of bIiSSful i'm
mortality may be theirs in the eternal
world.
We hardly suppose that DIR. Derrvberfv
has yet recovered from that fit of eXtacies
we saw him in the other day-aS ii is a boy
and a fine, large one at that.
Miss Emma Estes IS visiting friends and
relatives in this vicinity. She is indeed a
beautiful and accomplished lady.
We noticed last Sunday at Lasea Miss Mat
tie Jamison and Miss - Green, of Carriers
Creek, who have been visiting Mr.. J. 5.
Caldwells family.
Our good friend, Mr.. w. A, paid us a fly
ing visit last Sunday, looking as cheerful,
pleasing and accommodating as ever.
We regret very much to learn that Prof.
Anderson, of the Beech Grove School, is
We low with fever; also his wife and IA
ther-in-law, but are glad to learn that the
two latter are improving. The Professor is
a worthy man and an excellent preceptOr.
L. j. HardiSOn's school, and nearly all
others, have been discontinued fol some
time on account of the vast amount of sick
ness which has prevailed for some time
past, but we suppose they will be resumed
shortly, as sickness is fast subsiding. Thorn
as is a most excellent precept0r for one so
young and inexperienced, giving universal
satisfaction so far we are informed.
The beautiful and accomplished Miss
Johnnie Speer, who is conducting veey in
tereSting school on Carriers Geek, paid
home, relatives and friends a flying visit
last Saturday and sunday, gladdeniDg
them with her sweet smiles and melOdiOus
voice.
"May heavens smiles hang DER thee,
And fill thy love with joy;
May angels run before thee
Thy troubles to destroy.
NAV youths unfadlng flowers
Attend thy life with bliss;
And may thy darkest hours
! Be e'er as bright as this"
