Items from Greene County.
MIDDLE CREEK, December 5. Is,


Mr.. EDITOR: Thinking few items from
this part of the moral vineyard might inter-
est some of your readers, we take the lib
erty to sc nd you few, and your "devir
can sort out enough "pi" to put it in
readable shape.
1t is here, like it has been everywhere,
there has been good deal of excitement
over the price of produce, wheat, corn,
dried fruit, ETC., but everything is quietnow.
The corn crop, since it has been gath
cred, proves to be better than anticipated,
and in fact some of the farmers have better
corn than they had last year, and no doubt
there will be plenty for all, and some to
market
There has been a great deal of wheat
sown, and a good many of the farmers have
used fertilizers.
The members of the NJ. E. Church have
in progress a nice brick church, which when
completed will be credit and
honor to this vicinity. But like all
public buildings that are built by sub
scription, its progress is slow, for it is
impossible to get all to pull together in the
harness at once, but notwithstanding all
this, the prospect is very good for it to be
completed, not great distance off.
The old forge hammer at Camp Creek has
been silenced and ERE long the well noted
iron that it drawed out will be a rarity. Alas.
many will look at the place where it once
stood, and we imagine they will draw a sigh
as if to say, no more long dollars made there.
Messrs Kennedy & Sentell are building a
saw mill in its stead, which is nearing COM
pletion.
James O. Earnest l. Bro, the ell-known
and reliable firm, have met with q
misfortune, their mill shaft being broken,
but nevertheless, it will be in operation
again in few days. They make the best
of -four, and it gives universal satisfaction,
for the large quantities they ship is proof
enough, for they are constantly grinding end
are blessing TO any country.
Uncle JEFF and his faithful dog, Prince,
can be seen occasionally on the hill tops
high, or in the valley low, chasing the fleet
footed rabbit, and he seldom fails in taking
it captive.
Mr.. B. F. Seaton's cup is trimming full
and running over with joy. Two little Wis
itors have taken lodgir G with him this win
ter, and what tickles his fancy SO much the,
are boys.
We are blessed with good health, no sick
ness in this vicinity of any consequence.
Long may the CHRONICLE live.
So Lo Lo.
