Friendship.

Spring, with all her witcheries, is
with us once more, and the wheels
of industry are rapidly revolving.
The merry song of the husband
man and the loud "gee haw'' of the
plow-boy "make the welkin rIng''
from early morn till setting sun.
Farm work is progressing rapidly.
For several weeks nothing happened
to disturb the dream of the hope
ful yeoman, but few evenings
since the tiood-gates were hoisted,
letting fall one of the most destruc-
tive rains that has visited us in a
number of years. Deep inroads
were made in fields that were al
ready planted, and soil and grain re-
moved from one mans farm to an
others; all of which caused con-
sternation TO dIsplace the hopeful
smile that had ligh ted up the farm
er's face, but we hope the injury is
not so great as was at first appre-
hended. The recent frosts dam
aged fruit considerably, but did not
destroy ltentirely. We yet hope to
be able to lay few fine speci-
mems on the editors table. Our
gardens give promise of early and
fine vegetables. Our poultry yards
are alive with chickens which work
as industriously as if they were ad
mOnished every morning that Con-
ference, with all its demands for
fried poultry, would meet in our
county town this year.
F We have quite an acquisition to
our valley now, in the way of a dry
goods store. We are indebted to
our enterprising friend, Mr.. j. G.
Young, for this convenient shop
ping emporium. Bro. Byron was
with US last week, administering to
the spiritual wants of our good and
much afflicted friend, Esq. Ralston,
who has been suffering with cancer
for some months. Mrs Eva Marks
has just returned from a protracted
visit to Alabama, where she has
been nursing her sick mother. Mrs.
g. w. Hill is visiting friends in
Pulaski. We hope she will soon
ret uIn to fill the void her absence
creates in our social circle. Among
other personals" we would note
that we have another local preacher
on our circuit, by the name of Ezell. |
He is stopping with Rev. A. NJ.
Ezell, and is quite favorite of his. |
We have not had the pleasure of
meeting him; we are told that he is
more of a vocalist, than an orator. |
Angling is quite mania with US
now. We noticed one little sports
man, particularly, few days since,
viz. Willie McGrew, who, hearing
of sick lady's wishing for some
fish, Immediately armed himself
with a well filed basket of eggs,
visited two different stores to pro-
cure hooks, and was soon off to the
pond where he stood patiently, I'm
til he met with the success he de-
served. Late in the day he entered
The sick room with his little bucket
Of silver-sides, and presented them
10 the lady, who did not fail to bless
,he considerate little fellow for both
,he gift as well as the kind motive
hat inspired it. The young ladies
Of our midst have revived the time
IGNORED custom of giving cuttings,
,hus combining sociabIlity and use
illness. We heartily applaud them
or the manner in which they EN-
boy their time, tongues and fingers. ]
Politics are agitating the minds of
'ur people to some extent; both the
)rave and fair seem to be interested
n the coming contest. We have
'een on tiptoe of expectation to see 9
he usual train of candidates pass
ng along our highways and are {
eady to wave them a welcome from il
far. S.
