Since the last communication
from this place was written the Cir
IzEN has changed conductors, but
we presume it will not be amiss to
try the patience of the new editor
with little scribbling. We shall
endeavor to report the accidents,
incidents and the general news of
the vicinity as best we can. Wen
be thankful for any item reported
to this sanctdm. Hymen has vic
timized many of the manageable
subjects throughout the. entire
length aud breadth of the valley,
and they now preside in a higher,
holier and more responsible sphere.
Cupid is still sneaking about, and
ere long some one will be heard sing
ing his Dora, ETC., very Frankly.
Boys that are in the habit of visit
ing girls should call at least before
night, lest they rouse the old folks
from theil dreams. Well hush, for
fear we be accused of gossiping
The weather, the weather, the
weather-how very remarkably
pleasant for the season. Vegeta
ton is beginning to bud, doves
cooling, birds singing, as though the
spring time was approaching. Con-
siderable uneasiness is apprehended
for pork recently killed. Many
have lost their meat already. Farm
ers are upsetting fences, grubbing
and cleaning out bitches, prepare
tory for new crop. Wheat pre-
sents very promising appearance
in some places, and in others it is
damaged by the grasshopper and
Hessian fly. A spirit of improve
ment prevalent. Mr.. Duff Aymett
has purchased the land round
about Drysburg. This mill is stu
ated near the mouth of the creek,
and contains a grlst mill owned by
Messrs. Aymett d Maclin. Messrs.
John Butler, John Scruggs, Hiram
Med. and Tom Tarpley are resi-
dents of this place. Mr.. Will
Clack has recently moved there,
and will remain until he builds on
his farm near there. Mr.. W. B.
Marks has rented portion of the
farm of Esq. Matt. Wilson near
Bethany. Success to you, William.
Mr.. Zach. Smith has sold his farm
to ex Sheriff r. A. Blow, and Mr..
Thos. Webb has charge of it for
the present year. Mr.. Smith goes
to Bradshaw. We have preaching
the 1st and 3rd Sundays in every
month by the pastor. Hereafter
services will be changed from morn
ing to evening for the benefit of
other churches. The people were
little chagrined at somebody for
changing this circuit, but they have
become somewhat reconciled. They
boast of having the biggest preach
er Tin corporeal dimensions) that
they've had in many years. Rev.
Ephraim Worsham will preach at
Blooming Grove next Sabbath.
Perhaps he will make regular ap-
pointment for that place. Mrs.
Ann Cobb, an old and respected
lady, died few weeks since of pa
ralysis. Many years ago she pro-
fessed the Baptist faith and has
lived q consistent member of that
church up to the day of her death.
She leaves a host of relatives and
friends to mourn her death. She
was inferred at the family grave
yard. On Thursday last, Bessie,
the little daughter of DR.. w. E.
Wilson, died of Group. She was
just at the age to be idolized by the
fond parents. They may grieve not
a little to give her up, but
''Tis sweet while bending Ger her sod,
And tears bedew your aching eyes,
To think that she is safe with God,
In realms beyond the skies"
We extend our heartfelt sympa
thy t, the bereaved parents. Our
valley Is not yet free from the
hand Of disease. Mrs.
Malissa Wilson is very low with a
cancerous affection. Miss Marion
who has been sick for
some time past, we are glad to learn,
is convalescent. The little daugh-
ter of Mr.. Noah Wilson considered
SO dangerously i'll, is better. Mrs.
w. K. Mcknight was summoned
few days since to Leighton, Ala, to
the bedside of her son, DR.. j. n.
Mcknight, who is very low with ty-
phoid fever. We hope to hear Of
his recovery soon.
Here's luck to the former editor,
success to the new one, and a hap
py new year to all. INCoGNITo.
