Mr.. Knox, of the Bridge Compa
ny, arrived here on last Thursday
and after investigating the matter
he employed Messrs. Davenport and
| Nolin to trestle the bridge up. They
are to commence the work on il
next Monday. 1t won't do for the
bridge to stand on trestle work toe
long, for old Elk might put on the
airs of an ocean and bring down a
few logs from the mountains, and
then farewell vain world" our
bridge will sleep on the bottom OF
Elk, while the signs and lamenta-
tions of No. l will be distinctly
heard. She is shut off from the
world.
On account of the great damage
that wheat has sustained by rust
our farmers are preparing to reap
their crops earlier than usual for
fear that the wheat may be totally
destroyed. We are in hopes that
their fears may not be realized, and
that the wheat may be allowed to
reach its maturity. Corn is now re-
ceiving its second blowing, and ere
many days have passed we may hear
farmers ask of each other, "Hev
you laid byg' or, "done layin' by
over your wayT' And yet there
are many boys that do not wish to
be farmers.
Several members of the boating
club went rowing the other evening.
They used an overshoe belonging to
the Belle of Elkton and with half
dozen fence rails attached for oars,
they sped swiftly on the bosom of
the mighty Elk in the vain endeavor
to overtake a mosquito which had
cruelty seized hold of Earl and was
making of with him for parts un
known. except to mosquitoes and
other insects, while the belle looked
on with a rapture that was like
despair" praying for the "skeeters"
to come back and skeet 'er off in
the same way.
We wish that we had not men

At the election held in the city

Corn crops look well enough
where they have had the proper at
tention. Cotton is very small in
acreage and looks very bad. Some
have had to replant. Wheat we
think has improved since our last
writing. l think the appreEensions
of the farmers are greater than the
damage.
AS we have had no marriages nor
deaths recently we will have to al
Jude principally to personalities.
We had the pleasure of attending
divine services at Gibsonville on the
7th inst, and there we met maRy
old friends. Among the many we
espied the gay winsome smiles of
our friend Lionel who has been lost
to many of his friends and admirers
He is teaching school at Center
Point. He still expresses himself
a candidate for matrimOny. We
hope he will be elected. Last Sab
bath was the day of the Sacra-
mental meeting at this place The
attendance was large. Revs. j. +.
Walker and W. E. Mckenzie were
in charge. Mr.. r. n. Herbert and
wife of Brentwood neighborhood,
parents of DIR. r. n. Herbert of this
place, have been on visit to the
Doctors for the past two weeks.
They returned to their home in
Williamson Monday evening. They
have formed many acquaintance in
this neighborhood, and the well
wishes of our entire community ac-
company them to their home. Well
may they be proud of the Doctor,
for he has won an enviable reputa-
ton since he has located here. Mr..
John Kenny, father of our enter
prising merchant, j. L. Kenny, has
for the first time spent short visit
with his sons at this place. Mr.. w.
L. Nixon of Lawrence spent few
days recently with his friends and
relatives in this neighborhood, and
to all appearance spent the time
well, for we assure you that the
young ladies all had their pro rata
of his attention. Some of the
young ladies made such a heavy
impression on him that he dreamed
of being in China, looking we sup
pose for that quarter he donated to
the missionary cause. Capt. r. 5.
Walker of Lynnville put in his ap-
pearanct with us last Sabbath. Mr..
VIM. Maxwell and Patrick Barring
ton of Pigeon Roost creek were
casting their wands of bachelorsbip
over this community, we suppose
to entrap some of the unweaTy.
Treasure up her love, Billy; when
life's sun dies lowly down times
western hills it will be the brightest
star in manhood's memory. Messrs.
Herschel Walker, Oscar Jones and
r. B. Cosby of the Bethel country
spent z short time with the gay
bellies of this community. We are
ever proud of such nice gentlemen,
and we suppose the ladies are too.
Mr.. Ben Goodrum, in company
with his neice Miss Alice Hannah,
of Bigbyville neighborhood, visited
friends and relatives here Saturday
and Sunday, and returned Monday
morning to their homes. But Miss
A. left the traces of sadness behind.
One of our young men of this place
seems to be very sad. We are I'M
able to prescribe any remedy for
the alienation of his Affections. TX.
