Saturday to play CrOquet and enjoy them-
selves in the beautiful grove just above the
Spring, but n dark cloud and then a rain
drove them to a barn and stable close by,
where they were compelled to stay about two
hours, which was dreadful long time in n
stable. In the interim, however, a nice pic
mic dinner shelled out of baskets and
buckets in a long horse trough under the barn
shell ter, in which Mr. Dave Gregory feeds his
stock, which all enjoyed as much as a hungry
horse enjoys trough full of hay and corn.

with few nubbings and some scattering
shucks, $50 to speak.) Mr.. Gregory says they
wcro the finest stock that ever ate out of his
horse trough. From the stable they were in
vited to the house of Mr.. Gregory where they
all agree, they spent a most delightful even

her kind attention to their enjoyment and

showers that gladden. the hearts Of the farm
ers and causeth the whole vegetable kingdom
to spring up with renewed vigor and life.
The crops on the creek are looking moro
promising at this time than have noticed
for several years. Wheat has but little rust on
the blades, and bids fair to make more than
an average yield.
Miss Wood, a charming young lady from
the Blue Grass State, is now stopping at Mrs.
Ogilvie's on the creek. Miss Annie Spindle,
daughter of our esteemed neighbOr, DR.. JnO.
