mills erected in this county during the
Summer, for saving walnut lumber. There
seems to be great activity in the walnut
lumber market An agent for the Singer
Sewing Machine Company is engaging all
he can get at good prices-I believe $50

The sudden change from Winter to
Summer. about the middle Of April, ha,
developed vegetation at an Unprecedented
rate. Fruits Of all kinds will be album

Mrs. Mollie Hall has just left our
vicinity for the purpose Of testing the
efficacy Of faith and prayer at the "Pink

may be healed Of all her diseases, both
real and imaginary.
Our town elected a temperance Board
Of Trustees at the late election, and the

ment in society will be so manifest in that
time that the temperance rule will be
adopted.

or more than week. J. B. Phillips, for
he killing Of james Hutchison, in Decem-
Der, 1879. has been sentenced for two years

umstances connected with the killing in
lueed the jury TO give him the shortest
