%. N. Fry and Erastus Evans
are again on our streets. Their
faces are rather sharp but we hope
they will soon be themselves agaiE.
Miss Mary Evans has been dan
gerously sick, but at last account
she was able to sit up a little.
John Pickens took sick wnile. work
ing on Mr.. Harris store few days
sgo and has been quite sick ever
since. His brother Reese is sick
also. j. c. Harris little boy is on
the sick.l!st.
Work has progressed on j. G.
Harris store very well and will soon
be completed.
w. A. Bryant is expected to
order an extra lot of good this fall
as he has ten pound clerk at his
house about ready to attend to bust
ness.
j. r. Bryant has snapped a
mule for a patent churn. Some of
the boys advise him to trade the
churn to Dick Bowdon as aliases
cooler. Mr.. Bowdon has made ar
engagements to engage very extern
sively in the manufacture of sor-
ghum.
"A red-headed negro has been
in our midst for some weeks claim
ing to be rich and wanting 10 buy
a big stock farm, one hundred mule
colts, &c. He borrowed $3I from
one negro and few dollars from
other negroes and came very near
getting a horse from Jimmie Hill
by giving a check. The check
would not have been worth a cop
per. Some how they failed to close
the trade thus saving his horse.
The negro skipped few nights ago
and no one knows where.
Since my other letter was writ
ten l have learned that the former
owner of Denmark and his patrons
by mutual agreement have decided
to award no premiums to the Den
mark colts at our next colt show.
Therefore we do not expect a
ring of Denmarks this time, but
perhaps there will be a few on the
ground anyhow.
In my other letter the type
setter left out line or two in ref
erence to those little girls and their
music which gave things rather
mixed appearance, but we must bear
in mind that such mistakes accur
occasionally.
Road working seems to be the
order of the day. The road has
been changed in two places be-
tween Mooresv1lle and the Giles
county line. Every time there
is q change in the road law 1
think they go from bad to worse
and / would not be surprised but
what there will be several calls
this winter to help pull them out
OF the mud.
Rev. Mr.. Haywood preached at
Independence last Sunday,
Rev. Jas. Kirkland will deliver
a temperance lecture at lndepen-
dence the fifth Sunday. He makes
a request to the young ladies es-
pecially, the young gentlemen par
ticularly, and to the old men and
ladies to come out if possible. l
will add, bring all the children, for
it is said ''bring up the children in
the way they should CO." That
will be a noble way to start to shun
the vile intoxicating demon while
the mind is young and tender and
as they grow in mind and body
may they grow stronger and strong
er for the cause of temperance un-
til there shall not be one in this
board land of ours left to fill a
drunkard's grave.
Rev. J. B. Kerr will preach at
Bear creek the fifth Sunday.
Mrs. Belle Mcclure will take
charge of a music class at Moores-
vile. School opened at Union Val
ley with SO pupils and several

Lena Henry. A Sunday school was
organized last Sunday at Union
Valley; fifty names were enrolled
Henry CLOSEUP was elected s1per.
