Probably some readers of the

prong of Shoal Greek, twelve miles
southwest of Pulaski and four mile;
northwest of Bethel.

cent, having been confined for some
weeks with fever In an adjoining
neighborhood we are informed that
the dyphtheria is very prevalent,
some of the schools having been
stopped on that account.
Rev. Mr., Byrum held a prOtracted
meeting at this place a few weeks
since, and at the close of eight days
services there had been fifty-two
and twenty six acces-
sions to the Church, thirteen of
whom were pupils at one literary
school.
There are schools, going on at
Shoal Creek Academy and at this
place under the supervision of Rev.
Paisley and Mr.. Hamilton respec-
lively. A few evenings since as
little urchin was homeward plod-
ding his weary way, he was heard

And whip US for the dollars"

Our farmers say they will "mix it,
"a little corn and plenty of fodder.
Occasionally the quietude of our
community is disturbed by a we'd

rising generation being determined
to travel the road of fortune togeth-

rents, they stepped down and out"
'unbeknownst'' to "the old folks at
home" and quietly rode off to the
Squire, where at IL o'clock P. NJ.
the twain were made one.
Our neighborhood was represent
ed at the camp-meeting at Hurri
cane by Messrs. Bruce Cosby and
Will Thompson. If our judgment
1eceives us not, one or both of tbem
have left their hearts in possession
Of some adorable object in the Vi
cinity of Culleoka.
Cur gallant young friend Green
B. j., or j. b. Green, or some such
name as that, is frequently absent
from his wonted place at church on
and then all through the
week in spite of all demonstration
he will persist in singing that good
Did song,
up Pigeon Roost and down some water,
Some old widow will lose her daughters"
