Back Again!

Having spent the 9th and 2S:h of July
very pleasantly among the families of Messrs.
Nelson Hawk and John Mcmahon, and hav-
ing spent an afternoon and night with Mr..
James Strickland, and another day and night
with the Henderson boys, on the 30th the
return march began.
But before leaving the neighborhood Il
glance must be given to its sanitary condi-
ton.
Diarrh9a and chills were beginning to be
felt. In the evening their lines of fog could
be seen stealing out like flanking parties
along the creeks, charged with that indefina-
BILE something called Malarlon.
Oyer on the West Fork of Black man
ago.
There is great reason to fear chills on the
heads of the Middle Fork and enteric fever
lower down.
On Clayton's creek lately there was ga
fuss generally" A party specialized in
pork. His wife bowed on him and got
threshed for her pains. Her friends advised
an action for surety of the peace. She was
told she would have to swear that she was
afraid of him. But she ripped out that she
would be blankety BANKED if she was afraid
of any blankety blanked man that ever lived.
Your correspondent has known the lady for
years, and can certify that she fears nothing
that lives, moves or has a being. The mo-
ton for an action of surety of the peace was
not success but the Spectator will in the
near future wrestle with the pork problem
before Squire Terry.
On the return trip pleasant call was made
on Nelson Adams. Jr., who, along with his
wife had joined the shakers. After this
came a call on Elder John r. Adams and his
very interesting family. Having heard that
Miss Ellen was going on visit to Wright
county soon, your correspondent took the
privilege of an old friend to tender his very
kindest wishes for her health, happiness and
safe return. In the meantime, several young
gentlemen will have to comfort themselves
as they may. Thursday night, Friday, and
Friday night were spent with Mr. Oesch,
near Edge Hill. A man who saw that farm
fifteen years ago would not know it now. On
Saturday call was made at ESQ. Luthy's to
read the REGISTER. Saturday night was
spent with Mr.. j. A. Griffith at Bachelors
Hall. On Sabbath morning, having learned
that the funeral sermon of Mrs. Caroline
Trollinger and of her son, Mr.. A. d. Troll
niger, was to be preached, your correspond
ent went to the Bell schoolhouse. Here he
met host of old friends. A well-dressed
and well-behaved congregation of about fifty
listened attentively to an appropriate,
and very sensible sermon
by Elder Zenas Adams. Sermon was also
appointed for O'Clock, and between the
sermons an excellent lunch was set out,
enough for all. Your correspondent did not
wait for lunch or the second sermon.
That community is in chronic feud.
A person who knows every one Of them
can see more good in all of them than they
can see in each other. They should not per-
NIT feeling of contention to set them against
each other. They should see that such a
state of things is against the welfare of all
Monday was spent at Mr.. Columbus Tin
dall's. He has a bright and pleasant family,
but suffering for want of schooling.
While at Mr.. Tindall's your correspondent
seven families of immigrants
from Story county, Iowa, going to Wayne
county, Mo. They are the right kind of peo-
pie, and Wayne county is to be congratu |
ated on their accession.
Reached home on Tuesday and found Mr..
Iashley's family well.
August 9th. THOMAS CALLAHAN.
