CEDAR VALLEY, April 15.-lfit were
allowable for newspaper correspon-
dents to write about the weather, |
would like to say that it is rather cool,
and is keeping spring and spring
work quite late. 1t is not often we
sec solittle blowing done at this time
of the year. If the fruit crop gets
through this freeze, the chances will
be fair for a good crop, although buds
are not very plenty on some kinds of
fruit trees.
Moving day is over, and can row
pretty nearly locate our population.
Georgetown is increased by the fam
lily of a Mr.. Stafford, in w. p. Bar
ker's house; G.. L. Barthlow and fam
lily have moved to Cedar Valley, to
the house purchased of Orpha S.
Wilder; Wilder's family moved to a
house of Jesse Pratt's; C. M. Arnett
moved from Marion county to North
Arnettsville; Charles Radcliff has
erected house on his wife's share of
the f. w. Snider land.
On the head of either branch of
Indian creek the people appear quite
stationary. Adam Riggs, who moves
to his new house near Pleasant Val
ley school house, is the only case
Down below, on the "crick," there has
been more migration. Joseph Hood
has purchased the store at Louisville,
and moved to the house near by; ia
cob Huffman moved into the house
with Mrs. Letitia Hood; John Hood
goes to Marion county; David Clay
ton moved in the house vacated by
Huffman; Bob Tibbs to a house on J,
S. Hoods land; John Thorn to the
house at Arnett's Mills vacated by
Tibbs; Adolphus Hess to the San
Tough house, and / have heard that
NJ. p. Wells will go to a mill proper
ty on the West Fork. Sorry to lose
Michael; he's a good citizen.
OF the land sales recently made
| mention that of Mrs. Elizabeth N.
Snider to r. S. Michael, 275 acres,
for 81 ,533. c. C. Wilder and wife tc
Susan Barthlow, 5 acres at Cedar
Valley, for $500. George T. Barth
low and wife to O. S. Wilder, house
and lot in Palatine, $500, Andrew
L. Eddy to j. j. Musgrave, for Mary
J. Linch, 81 acres at SAT per acre.
S. p. Barker to Jacob Youst, 20 acres
at $40 per acre. You see good LAND
will sell in spite of hard times.
The health of our people is tolera-
bly, good, Mrs. Arnett Glasscock be
ing the only serious case under
treatment of our physicians as far as
| am at present advised. Jarrett
Linch is slowly convalescing.
Azel f. Floyd has taken an agency
for new baker, which is well rec
commended, and, while l am not dis
posed to do much free advertising,
wish he may be successful, for he il
a deserving man.
S. c.. Stewart is engaged in survey
ing land for Levi J. Straight, who is
distributing some Of his possessions
to his sons, u. S. and Coleman
Straight. The services of Mr.. Stew
art have been in demand for some
time, and he has hardly been able to
meet all engagements.
We have two Aourishing Sunday
schools at Georgetown, and the "rev
erent" who wishes to affirm that
Sunday schools are nuisance, will
find hard work to convince the PEG
pie of the fact.
Miss Lou K. Stewart, of this place
was severely scalded, on one of hel
hands, recently.
Our farmers are busy at spring
work, peacable and happy, in fact
this part of Grant District, which is
rather Dem ocratic, will compare ia
vorably with any in the county in
point of morals and intelligence.
