Ed. DOMINION and mud pre-
vail, and our roads are getting in bad !
plight,
The entertainment at the George |
town school room last week was well
received by persons attending, and
quite sum was realized toward de-
fraying the expense of the tree for
Christmas night, at the church, for
the distribution Of suitable treat to
the scholars of the Georgetown 5. 5.
All others desiring to do so will of
course be permitted to use the tree
for the benefit Of their friends. There
has been some opposition to the
church being used on the occasion,
but it is now understood it will be
held there on Christmas night.
The Literary Society of George
town is now fully organized, and will
be kept in motion lively in the fu.
ture. There has been some bad con-
duct ut one or two Of their meetings,
but they expect to adopt stringent
measures to preserve good order in
the future.
Our miller is better again and able
to be at his mill. Mrs. Snider is
improving also.
"Over to. Arnettsville," to use a
western proyincialism, they are pre-
pairing to give their patrons good

The heirs of the late RID. Price
had a survey made by s. c. Stewart

and then divided among themselves
by assigning shares to the lowest
bidder. Mrs. Dr. Clayton gets IA
acres, Mrs. VIM. NJ. Arnett, 81 acres,
DR.. J. M. Price, IL acres, and the
Tibbs heirs, 20 acres. The arrange
ment proved quite satisfactory, but
the survey was found to be difficult
one to make, being the residue Of an
old jesse Martin survey, after vari-
GUS parcels had been sold of and but
five or six standing or marked cor
ners on over thirty lines. Deed will
be made for their respective parcels
to-day.
Last week Thomas Arnett sold his
mill property to Samuel G. Tough,
who will rebuild the grist mill at an

good and coal convenient when steam
is required.

siding near Arnettsville, met with 4
