Hebron,

Our venerable old friend Mr.
Thos. Down was near unto death not
long since with old age but providence
spared his life that he might be with
us few more days to witness the many
sorrows and temptations .here below.
He has already lived to the good old
age of about 70 years, hence according
to human nature he will have to de-
part from this unhealthy land to be a
citizen in the upper and better king
dom, where deaths are unknown, peace
abounds and an eternal home "where
the wicked cease to trouble and the
weary are at rest"
Hanna Ball, colored, was fatally
burned one day last week. She was
sweeping the floor near the fire and
her dress caught and burned her Sc
verely before her crYs were needed.
She lived day or two,
Our Sunday school is Oh the in
crease under the SUPPLEMENTARY of j.
L. Herring. Owing TO the measles in
our midst our Sunday school has been
in state of lethargy for weeks. Many
OF our members here fail to attend for
various causes toinumerOus too mention
but it you will allow me to express my
opinion in regard to this matter l will

an opportunity TO attend and do not |
should be considered i'm class with |
those who are latitudinarians,

Smith Academy will close this week.
r. II. (Dick) Harris, our well ac-
cOmplished and energetic blacksmith,
is doing larger business !this season
than usual, owing to the special inter-
est he is manifesting inithe business. He
has well supplied himself with the best
of material and also has one of those
fan bellows, or whatever you call
them. Any way it turns with crank,
j. L. Herring was indisposed sew

Irving was quite i'll recently, Carol
Stepp's entire family are just recover

InaC CDlnk Will escape,
Our farmers arc doing the very
best possible making preparation for
crop. l have heard but little said
among them as to which shall have
cotton or corn; but l guess
hey will unwisely plant another over
cropiof cotton. 1t seems
hat our farmers can never get in the
light channel to make money.
Charles Herring of Tridna, Ala,
me of our most hOspitable school
mates, made his appearance last Friday
Ooking as pleasing Jas ever, Lee and
Mrs. Hightower of Bethel visited j. II.

The prospect for biscuits in our
leighborhood is quite sorry indeed.
We make such poor out trying to
'aise wheat that it would seem wise in
'ur farmers to quit trying at all and
low more. oats and rye and invest the
lime you waste .On wheat raising |
.attle. A creamery would be more
profitable with less expense than
Wasting your labor trying to raise
wheat l think.
Rev. Jno. IL. Nichols, our beloved
pastor, breaches for US the first and
bird Sunday evenings of every month.
DO. A. Stoltz after retiring several
months has again returned and is now u
awyer at the mill formerly owned by
i. l.. Neil. He is an excellent ma
,hinist and it seems that all his energy
md skill run into a .sawmill. Felix
Williams has turned jocky. Turned a I
Jay horse into a gray mule.
