Editor Heruld:
Farmers in this vicinity are busy SOW
ing oats and tobacco seed and preparing
ground for corn. This pleasant spell
of weather, as was predicted by many,
has been of short duration and the
farmers have been making good use of
their time.
Health i'm this neighborhood is gener-
ally good. After severe illness of
several weeks duration, the writer is
again on his feet, and hopes soon to be-
able to enter into the daily pursuits of
life again.
Sunday school at this place opened
for the spiing last Sabbath morning.
The result was a large attendance of
ladies and children, but few gentlemen.
Come out next time, young men, and
don't let the Sunday school be a failure
on your account.
Miss Florence Iglehart, who has been
visiting relatives and friends i'm this and

friends

Alex. r. Rowan. Her sickness was
lingering and severe. She was menu
ber of the Baptist church and held her
membership at Mt. Carmel church, near
Buford, Ohio county. She expressedno
fears of death.
Our hearts were saldeneda Il few even

death of Miss Ada LashbroOk, daughter
of Rev. Charles Wickliffe and lydia e..
l.ashbrook, and grand daughter of old
uncle Henry Stevens. She died at her
home near Utica, Daviess county, Ky,
March 23rd, 1850. She was about 22
years of age, bright, lively and inter-
esting young lady, and general favor

had possessed her usual good health
until November last when she was taken
with hemorrhage Of the lungs which
produced hasty consumption that soon
terminated in death. Miss Ada was a
member of the NJ. 4. church several
years previous TO her death-had joined
n "a seeker of religion, but did not em-
brace the spirit Of Divine truth until the
day of her death. She was inferred in

icle the death of another one of our fel-

of Walton's Creek neighbOrhood, died
at the residence of Elvis Barrett on
Saturday, the 9th inst, and was buried
at West Point Cemetery on Sunday fol-
lowing. Bud as he was familliary
known, was a good, honest and upright
gentleman against whom no one could
say aught. His heart stricken wife has
the sympathy of the entire community.

painful illness, nearly ten month, | am
glad to note, is improving again.
Maj. VIM. Ashby, former resident
of this county, will start on "Wednesday
for his home i'm Missouri, after a pro-
tracted visit to friends and relatives
here, taking with him sam. B. Bishop
and his brother Virgil and Dutch, son
of a. Il. Brown. Success to you, young
men, we regret to give you up but then
our loss will be gain to others
Our farmers took advantage of the
several days of fine weather last week
and made good head way sowing oats
and breaking ground tor corn and other
such work, and they will soon be done
preparing corn land. Wheat is looking
fine and if nothing happens we will
have good crop. Tobocco is nearly all
sold at fair prices and preparations are
being made for large crop this year.

were instructed to vote as a unit, which
was satisfactory to the Grant men, a. a
majorityof the delegates are for him;
hence the motion to instruct was not
pressed farther.
