Mr.. Editor i Dear Sir--fernnt an int vi r 10
enter Your sanctum with budget from Tue III
tie town of Duhiclds and, while we will not
promise anything rich, rare or racy, we Will Try
TO do our best in writing ~ the happenings,

A. Scott, assisted by his sou Rev John A Scot',
Jr has just closed an interesting meeting result
ing in much good to the entire community, the
meetings, rs general thing, being well attend
ed. We believe tie church under the manage

This is a pretty situation south OF the b " D r.
R. lots having been sold by our onterprising
fellow townsmsr, Capt Jos. 4. Hess. We learn
more lots have been SOLD, and We hear OF NJ least
two more houses going ny. Mr.. WIN. Z. Daniels
is identifying his property Ia D.ydensSilIe oy
the acdi.i N tf q neat porch, Mr. Adam :. Link
being the designer aid builder. So you see at
glance that the people of Dutiecs are not asleep,
and we think the time is not far distant when
the busy workmpns hammer will be heard ana
capitalists will realize that this Is the point TO
drive business. Mr.. Adam q. IL ndrichs is still
working upon what We conceive TO be one oil
the best Grain Drills made, certainly the best
attachment for drilling Fertilizer. While the
attachments put on this season, Us neral
thing, worked well. the shape OF his attachment
as now used will surpass ony OF his former pro,
auctions Capt. J. s. Melvin has just returned
from the Eastern Markets with a fac assortment
of fail ard winter good, and his store at present
presents an attractive appearance, AND, at his
counters bargains can be had surprising even 10
a city customer. We bespeak for him liberal
patronage from the citiZsns of Duffield' and sur
rounding country. The Captain is an old hand
at the mercantile business and his knowledge OF
the trade enables him - buy his goods right.
Our mutual friend K. l.. WysoDg, makes thirgS
lively for oil competitors in the Grain ou:lness,
and business in this department was quite active
during the past week. Ia fact, Boo makes II
lively in every thing he deals in, If You want
nice Buggy or Jaeger don't pass him and If you
want coal 10 keep you warm during the winter
or lhresh your crop go 10 Bob and buy at the
bottom price. We are glad to learn through
the columns of your paper OF the good luck OF
our Young frieod Mr.. j. I. Hagelry, long may
he wave. Mr.. John A. Link, one of orr efficient
Road Supervisors, has wOrked his road aud by
bis skill aud management put II IN good oroer.
SO Mr.. Editor, il you feel like taking drive the
way is smooth We cannot close this letter
without personal mention of DR.. John w. Ayer,
though our community at present seems 10 be
remarkably healthy We ADVISE any who may
want medicine or medical advice to call on DR..
John as he Is al~sys at his post with ready
hand 10 do his best. Porkers general thing
ara i'll tue peo and ready for corn which, by the
way, seem to be scarce Article, and we are
very much afraid our sAssAGE will be lean, if
You don't like lean sAssAGE you will be out this
lime. WHEAT is beginning TO show green aud
tue late copious showers will yet give it root for
winter. We have two schools at present, one
private conducted by the Rev. Juo. A. Scott
and well attended and one public OF which Miss
Lille Reynolds is teacher, this also is well at
tended. We have nothing further to note at this
time aud if this is 30 fortunate as not TO find q
place in your waste basket perhaps we Shall
write you more anon.
Respectfully yours,
