Every thing about 'sleepy Hollow" il
taking xmas.
Everybody in town has been on spree
with the exception of "Yr Humble Ser
vant," and he did not lack inclination, but
''filthy lucre."
The "weather clerk" must surely be of
somewhere, on a jamboree, for he has for.
gotten to send us our usual dose of disagree.
able weather for some time, and the unusual
occurrence of ''black Christmas" is Otter
remarked about here.
But that didn't prevent our esteemed
townsman, Mr.. j. Fitzpatrick, from doing
the inequalities of the day. With his char
acteristic geniality he sat upon a rock and
discussed (and cussed) the future Prob's,
while his estimable lady, armed with ladle
and carving knife, dispensed egg-nog and
goodies to their many callers. "Pete," may
you have many returns of the merry day!
There is rumor afloat that the enter
prising fiji m of Schneider & Wright will soon
resume operations in the quarries. That re-
minds us that the genial face of "Billy," the
former foreman and business man of the
firm, is again to be seen in this vicinity. Glad
to see you back, William; hope you've come
to stay.
Mr.. James Maxwell made fly :ng visit to
"Sleepy Hollow" Saturday, returning to Bis
marck next day.
NJ. j. Carter, our carpenter, is engaged in
the erection of a dwelling for Jack Kirwin,
of Graniteville. John is the "boss carp" of
this burg, and tha,'s the reason they're after
him when they want to build any thing on
the bill.
Mrs. Cuthbert, nee Fitzpatrick, laccompa-
MED by her husband, James c., who is well
known about here, is enjoying short visit
to the romantic craigs and blooming heaths
of "Bonnie Scotland"
Johnny Parker, of Iron Mountain and
Prof. Davis, and NJ. Putnam, called to see
the town(?) Christmas eve. Next day Bob,
started for New Madrid to dispose of some
real estate, while j. aud NJ. went where?
Echo answers, where! Gloomy spirits can't
rest within sound of their cheerful voices,
no more'n Old Nick can stay from a Ball
Masque. Come often, boys, and drive "dull
care" from "SIeepy Hollow.''
The many friends of Mrs. l.. Maxwell will
be sorry to learn hat that lady is confined
to her bed by an attack of what is feared
to be brain fever. She is very i'll at present,
but it is earnestly hoped she will speedily re-
cover. |
Miss Addie Carter, our village belle, is |
7isiting friends in Belleyiew, Come back |
Don; we miss your smiling face very much. |
And by the way
The famous fair trio of Schneidery lille,
Have won the select beaux of Granite Hill
With their kiss-me -quicks and fascinators,
They've got them as solid as cold pofa-
toes.
Things are getting interesting here. I'd
AVE you know we're just waiting for devel-
pments.
j. Mckinney and lady returned from a
cry pleasant visit to relatives on Black Riv-
r the other day.
That is all know at present
