A Letter From BellevieW.

The hearts of our farmers have been re-
| the wheat problem.
The pleasant weather preceding the rain
| had been well improved in blowing, sowing
| and planting.
Your correspondent in "A True State
ment" shows great skill in evading the great
| facts on which the charge of ''dOctoring the
minutes' was based. 1t does not matter
now. Deacon Bedott and his colleagues are
| dead cocks in the pit. 1t only remains to be
seen whether the Missionary Baptist Church
| in Beleview is not in the same condition.
We await the action Of the elected members
and their friends, who, for reasons of state,
are permitted to remain in church connec-
ton.
In regard to the murder of Mrs. Carolina
Trollinger, the REGISTER is judiciously
guarded in its statement, but is mistaken on
one point. 1t says she lived three miles from
Edge Hill. ltis seven and a half miles, strong.
L measured that road with an odometer. /
have known Mrs. Trolinger over fifteen
years. Every man, woman ant child over
five years of age on Q tire Forks we'll known
by me, and the exact relations existing among
them. There is but one family on the creek
that regard as capable of such an act, and
that is the only one that could possibly have
a direct interest in Mrs. Trol!inger's removal
There is nothing i'm the record of the family
inconsistent with the idea of their doing such
a thing. 1t would perhaps be difficult to
assess exactly the amount of guilt attaching
to any one of them, so as to obtain legal
conviction, but no amount Of explanation
can ever remove the cloud from the house.
Developments since the murder all point in
one direction. Before long l will go out
there, and if consistent with the interests of
public justice, the REGISTER will receive the
facts.
As am not to be even presumed to know
who 'Josephus" is, will you please tell him
that when he effected a Judgment in the haz-
el-patch, he flanked Newton, but that distin-
gui>hed tactician, acting q la Joe johnson,
met the thanking movement by Il change of
front, and is now securely entrenched at the
Corners, his left flank covered by Deacon
Bedott and Hail Columby, and his right by
the sisters brigade. The line faces south
by-west, and the Caledonia road is closely
watched by red headed picket post north
Of Andrew Jackson'>, and the Cedar creek
road guarded at the south end of the old
Hood place, near Reeds creek. On the west,
Fort decentralization is on strike, which
it is likely will raise His Sulphurous Majesty
on the east-by north of the Corners
The Methodist brethren at the Corners are
to he congratulated on the accession to their
numbers of Mr.. Lafayette Acorn aid his
exec lent wife. who have purchased land in
the neighborhood.
/ see by the REGISTER that the Presbyte-
rian church in Ironton is to have blow out
OH Easter. Shure, an won't thir be some
bades and howly wather mixed mp VII it?
Let Rev. Penniman study the message to the
angel of the church at Sardis.
On last Sabbath the Union Sabbath school
had pleasant and profitable review of the
lessons for the quarter. Mrs. Lay being abb
sent, the music at the opening of the school
was well rendered by Miss Hartman, who is
