From Kennedy's Valley.

MIR. EDITOR Fire has been raging
in Kennedy's Valley for some time,
doing damage to property, such as wood,
bark and timber. 1t is still burning,
and if we do not soon get rain there is
no telling what damage may yet be
done. Farmers are done planting corn.
Crops look promising. Tobacco is the
ruling excitement at present. Some of
our farmers are making preparations to
plant late crops. Mr.. J. Keck contem-
plates building a tobacco house, forty by
sixty feet. The miners of the Leonard
& Co., Silver Mine are on q strike. Sill
yer is what they want to see. We hope
no serious results will follow. Still the
flag floats from Dempsey's top. Elder
Davis is making arrangements to build
barn on his mansion farm. On ac-
count of hard times Brother Allen has
postponed the building of his house for
a short time.

Blain Items.

BLAIN, May 2lst, 1880.
Mr.. Edltor-We have spent few days in
this place, and will give you our ideas of 1t in
connection with what little news we may have
for you.
Blain is located in the richest and most beau
tiful part of Perry County, and if they had a
railroad, Blain would be second to no town in
Perry county. We find a first class school
conducted by Prof G. @. Palm. Another in
terestng feature is a Literary Society conduct
ed by the young folks, assisted by Prof. G. G.
p. Their society is styled Blain Literary So
ciety, and their motto is Gain success by de-
serving it," The Society promises to be one
of the best of the kind in the county.
Prof. Robinson who was thrown out of q We
hicle and hurt, is improving slowly. His wife,
brother-in-law and a member of the firm of
which he is agent, have come and will remain
to care for him. The Prof. is in charge of DR..
Mccoy, who renders every service, and employs
all possible means for his speedy recovery.
Yours truly, OCCASIONAL.

a farmer residing near ST.. Thomas, to
get him to act as agent for certain
kind of guano. The agent said he
would ship him ten tons, half of the
proceeds of which Mr.. B. was to keep,
and the remaining half he was to remit

Last week another man representing
himself to be one of the firm called on
Mr.. B. and succeeded in getting him to
sign an agreement. On Saturday the
man came to town and tried to sell a

bach. Soon after Mr.. B. arrived in
town and had the man arrested, as the
note was fraud throughout. The

after returning the note, paying all costs
he was allowed to go free. Keep look
