Owing to the uncertainty Of the day Of

is still in an unfinished condition. and
will require considerable attention TO get
it in irst class order; yet all who have
come over it express themselves highly
pleased. One gentleman from Cleveland
was on the lookout for the heaey cuts
and fills which he expected to see re-
quired to get up to ST. Clairsville. He
was wonderfully. surprised not to see
them. TheIgrade is very easy-not exi
ceeding 119 feet, and that only for q
short distance. The stations on the road
are Quincy, the point Of connection with
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; Echo,
formerly Echors Mills, ,latterly known as
Workman's, and Crescent, about half
way to ST. Clairsville, a: the entrance to
Ault's Run. Length of line 81 miles =
AtQnincy, Kidd's coal works will sup
ply the road with a large amount of
traffic In furnishing the st, Clairsville
market with coal. Already the benef
cial effects are felt in the reduction of The
price Of coal from nine 10 seven cents,
and much clearer and superior coal
than has been supplied. At Echo Sta,

will commence shipping as soon as a
siding ear be put IN. Both mines are
conreniently located for loading cars =
The indications are that the road can
calculate on, hauling from 10000 to

FORK.

Mr.. G. N. G. Boleman has given months
vacation in his school. Mr.. W. A. Dickson
will also resume teaching July 2nd.....Mr.
N. Wat. Grant had the misfortune few
days ago to lose valuable milch COW. He
had tied her near ditch to Craze, where
she became entangled in the rope, fell in the
ditch and was drowned......A long train of
wagons passed through the Fork last week
hauling corn from the Air Line Railroad to
Hartwell, Ga Trial Justice FAINT had two
busy days in his court last week. A great
number of persons were sued by DR.. Page,
who merchandized at Townvillc last year,
and CONSERVATION reigned supreme among
the delinquent debtors The much re-
ferred to pic mic at Townville is now thing
of the past. The elite of the community
had a jolly time at Silver Lake adjacent to
town, and supplemented the occasion by
dance at DR.. Browns residence near by on
the same evening ......Shallow Ford Circuit
comprising four churches, two on either
side of Seneca River, has secured pasonage,
having purchased house and lot contain
ing fifteen acres for s10O. The house was
formerly occupied by the toll-keeper of
Earles bridge. This acquisition is very
commendable to the Circuit, and no doubt
will raise It in the consideration of the Con-
ference authorities.

rHE rEmpERAycE EXCURSION.

The Temperance Pic Mic Excursion to
Williamson on last Saturday was a very
great success. Three coaches were filled
with the excursionists from Anderson, and
quite number of persons were present who
went from the surrounding country by pri-
vate conveyance. The Mineral Spring,
with its beautiful park, afforded most
pleasant location for enjoying pic mic
frolic, and all present, old and young, ladies
and gentlemen, seemed to find pleasure in
the occasion. In the morning, excellent
addresses were delivered by Rev. S. Lander,
DR.. H. I. Epting and Col. E. NJ. Rucker
upon the subject of Temperance, after which
basket dinner was generally partaken of
by all present. The Anderson Cornet Band
attended, and made splendid music for the
day, thereby adding much to the pleasure
of all who were present. We learn that
Anderson Division, under whose auspices
the excursion train ran, realized enough
from the sale of tickets to clear expenses,
and therefore we can pronounce the affair,
both socially and Financially, o complete
Success
