began here three weeks ago, is
still in progress, at this writing.
Success has crowned the minister,

us to assemble.
Last Thursday a week, we be-
held Capt. VIM. Sperow, in the

wagons and stock reminded us of
Barnums' show.
Since the cold weather, many of

We were out to hear the Jones
Spring Band last Saturday night,
and must say they play extremely
well. We think we are safe in
saying that ii Is the best band in
Berke ley county.
On last Sunday night, rs one of
our young men was starting home
from church with his girl, he met
with quite an accident. AS ho
was getting his horse, which he
had tied to tree near the spring,
and as he was mounting, his horse
started with him, running him
against the arm of swing which
stood near by. The arm of the
swing struck him a little below
the eyes, and bruised his face very
badly. Henry thinks he will let
the girls go home by themselves
hereafter.
Wild turkeys are very plentiful
this fall. Hunters are killing them
daily.
Mr. Walter James is digging out
q foundation for a new barn. We
are glad 20 see him still improving.

ness.
The sympathy of this entire
community goes out to Mr.. Mason
Newkirk in his deep affliction
caused by the untimely death OF
his only daughter, a bright and
interesting child.
The butchering season has COM
menced, but there will not be as
many big hogs slaughtered in this
community this year as last.
There are not many hogs left in
this section of the county. Nearly
every farmer is short OF his usual
supply. The cholera prevailed
as an epidemic last spring and
summer and nearly every farmer
lost more less by it, and some
their intire stock of hogs. AS a
consequence there will be little
pork for sale, and prices are likely
to rule high.
