about Che ifdit and other crops.
Fire has been very comfortable aud

this vicinity have not suffered from
the recent cold snap. Farmers are
now busy iaplanting and blowing
corn and cdltiyating their gardens
and other patches Of ground.

that the people living back from

On Saturday evening, May 10Th,
Rev. Wilson, Of the Christian de.
nomination, preached at Bruce
chapel, aud on Sunday morning at
10 o'clock hs preached the funeral
sermon Of Jennie Cqttrell, daughter
of Mr.. Jonathan Cottrell. lie took
his text FROM the Doth chapter and
S6th verse of,Luke, and preached a
very appropriate sermon. After
his discourse the first teacher of the
deceased delivered a eulogy upon
her life and character. During the
entire service the congregation,
which was good one in numbers,
paid marked attention to both
speakers. At half past four in the
afternoon of the same day Mr.. Viii
son preached again; on the third
Sunday Of June he will o[liciate at
Bruce chapel, when the people are
invited to attend.
Mr., W. is a resident Of the State
and lives in Clondinep district, not
fur from Pisgah church. lie is a
very promising young uian in his
church and has quite a ,number Of
friends and admirers. Hound him
a very pleasant man out Of the
pulpit as well as in it, but he has
a fault which a great many public
speakers have, and that is he does
not arIiculate distinctly, especially
when he becomes animated he
speaks rapidly and many Of his
words are lost 10 his hearers. The
subject matter Of his sermons are
good and il he will overcome the
fault mentioned he will be listened
to with a great deal more interest.
On Monday morning Mr. VIII
son and myself had quite a disa.
greeaole walk up the river road
from Mr.. Cottrell's as far as Col. c.

Brothers are successfully carrying
on the milling business. The
