Sabbath evening in this month, owing
to his unexpected departure from your

shall be pleased to see the DR.. in our
Burg after his return.
The Revs. Messrs. Whltmore and
Murray have been preaching here on
the third and fourth Snnaaya in the
past month, and will continue to do so
during the Summer months and early
part of the Fall.
Mr.. William Desper had the misfor-
tune to lose a very valuable horse the
other day from q disease wholly I'M
known.
Our kind ladies contemplate having
a grand basket picnic sometime early In
August. All tickets to such entertain
ments will be gladly received by your
correspondent.
Miss Annie Cochran, who has been
attending the Seminary 2t Shadwell
depot, Albemarle county, is now spend
ing vacation at her home on Folly
Farm.
Incessant hot weather has driven the
proprietors of our Broom Factory" out
of their establishment to seek Cooler
climes.
Have you seen our 'String Band"
pass your way?
Farmers around us are done reaping
wheat. and some few have threshed.-
Their crops turned out very well.
