There are some business changes in
town. r. r. Adrige having sold his saw
mill and water privilege to Pickett &
Co., they offer it for sale for factory pur.
poses. A grand chance for the right men.
There are not many cases of severe
sickness In town at this writing. We
hope the worst is passed and that oui
village people will be enabled to enter
into business now and let the tired physi
clans have vacation
Business men, you lose good oppor
tunity when you allow the Brock store to

We noticed in town last week l.. H.
Doty, E,q., of Elmore, brother of DR.. A
A. and c. q. Doty of this village who
came here on account of the severe illness
OF the doctor, who we are glad to report
Is improving in health so much as to bt
able to be about the house. 1t is hoped ht
will again he seen in our streets. w,
are Informed the doctor desires to dispose
OF his practice to some good live physician
and surgeon who can please the people.
Sunday last four united with the M. E
church by profession. We notice thai
the congregation at the M. E. church is
quite large of late and that many young
faces are among the number that formerly
have attended church on the opposite side
of the street or not attended at all.
Whether they are there out of idle curios-
ity or because they are attracted thither
by the sound sermons they hear from
week to week we will not attempt to say.
Suffice it to say, they seem Interested in
something that causes them to spend an
hour in the house God and we opine they
will be none, the worse for it. Let others
follow their example.

years not having been able to walk for

tent sufferer in the last week. She often
referred to her suffering but not in any
manner to complain-repeatedly compar-
ing her slight suffering " to the "great
sufferings of her Lord and Master and
saying g ought not be willing to suffer a
little when my dear Savior suffered so
much for me?" Truely, Mrs. Carter was
a Christian in every place and under al
circumstances. Let the living pattern
