conversation, look over the late papers
and periodicals, and enjoy the benefits
Of a good library. We think that En-
poria owes il 10 her young men to
provide them with facilities of this
kind for their mental and moral culture,
and when they can be furnished at the
trifling expense Of $4,000 per year, it
would indeed be reproach upon the
public spirit of the place TO allow our
pleasant reading ROOMS to be closed
against the scores Of persons who would
so eagerly avail themselves of their
gracious advantages.

from kho creek

This creek heads up in the northwest
corner of CofIey county, and runs into
the Necsho Just above S.rdwn. It is a
nice stream, running now, and waters
some very fine country. There are some
good coal banks at the head OF the creek.
The farms show good cultivation, and |
see many signs OF prosperity among the
farmers For instance fine orchards and
large hearCs Of cattle. The Methodists
are building good frame church near
the mouth of Jordan. The upland is
good and being improved. C RI
