Grafton of his domestic aiiliction the
charge against him was dismissed. Jim

HICKORY Chanel Items.

Not seeing any items from Hickory
Chapel for a long while, l thought
would try my pen on few. to keep
the many readers of the Register from
forgetting that there is such place,
We have already had one of the
longest and severest winters our old
est settlers recollect of seeing, and
from the appearance of the weather
at this time, we are led to believe
that, although the End was cloudy,
Ground Hog must have got d little
peep at his shadow.
We are informed that the fruit
crop, up to this time, promises to be
above the average, buff winter don't
soon break our wheat crop will be
what was never known in this com.
munity before, an entire failure.
The school Of our district taught
by Squire R, o. Kincade, is we'll at
tended, and is one of much interest,
and great improvement, as we're all
the schools evertaught by the Squire.
Our farmers are busily engaged at
clearing up ground and re.setting
fences, in preparation for the future
corn crop which, as we learn, will be
a larger acreage this year than last.
We are glad to know that our Ia
dies and gentlemen are talking of
organizing sabbath school, at the
church, and hope that talking will
not be all for we think there is moth
ing nicer than a good sabbath school,
we'll attended, which can be had at
Hickory Chapel, besides it is one of
our highest duties to the supreme
ruler Of the universe.
