somewhat bitten, and the beans sharp
ly damaged.
Your correspondent, though no
fruit grower, predicts that the apple
crop of this section will be short by
at least one half; and possibly there
will not be more than one-third of a
full crop.
Bright and early last Sunday morn
ing your correspondent hied away to-
ward Blue Springs to seethe "show."
A large crowd was seen with all
kinds of outfits and turnouts. The
preaching was as good as common,
but in consequence of the cold wealth
er the May show proved failure.

selves and their gauzy finery in heavy
wrappings, yet their teeth, (both the

James Hughes, of Viola, was seen

Arrived at McMinnville last Fri
day evening, "boXed up" and in
good condition, James NJ. Clendenen.
He came direct from the Lone Star

any trouble, and now his smiling
face illumines this whole river coun-

M. NJ. Smiths broken arm having
greatly improved, he has installed
Geo. Willis as sawyer, and the mill
is again doing good service. George
is not only good "squirrel-climber,"
but first rate sawyer.
Jno. M. Cunningham, who has
been in very delicate health for some
time, is, it is feared, dangerously
worse today, yet his many friends
hope for his recovery.
John Parks is this week still i'm
proving.
Old Collins River may be a little
slow, but she always gets there "all
the same" There is nothing to beat
the raising of our immigrants, as
Capt. w. G. Etter thinks, and since
the arrival of the last one, he has
continuously "smole" smile by 6,
