that have occurred since that time,
Our farmers have been very busy
in preparing the corn and tobacco
crops that they might be ready to
harvest and garner the abundant
wheat crop; after greatideal of trou-
BILE and perplexity they have succeed
ed in getting a tolerably fair stand of
tobacco. About the time wheat was
ripe for the harvest and ready for
the sickle one of those long continu-
GUS wet weather spells set in, and be-
fore closing threatened very serious
ly the utter destruction of the crop,
but providence exercising His power
and kindness in our favor is with
holding his showers and dispensing
the thick clouds, giving us a bright
sky under which TO garner the fruits
of our labor, and to-day the binders
have been heard in all directions. The
corn crop looks well, though late on
account of cut worms.
Excursions are becoming very fire.
quent on our railroad, especially on
Sunday. The l. A. q T. is doing a
very fair business, all things consid
cred. Capt. Mann, our regular con-
ductor, has returned from short Wis
ii to his family in Georgia.
G. w. Gordon is now on a southern
trip for his health and business. Un-
der recent proposition from a GER
tain recently organized railroad sym
dictate, it may be safely calculated
that the 1. A. & 7. will be carried OH
to very carly completion to Princeton
II not detained in business way too
much at Herndon.
We had the exquisite pleasure a
day or two since of seeing the two
boys so often spoken of heretofore
Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Quarles'-hard
to tell the finer looking of the two.
Mothers, train them up in the way
they should 60, and they will honor
you and afford you much happiness
in the future.
The Methodist church at Herndon
was dedicated last Sunday. A good
ly number from GAINESVILLE and sta
lions along the line took advantage of
the excursion train to go to the dedi-
cation services. But for the heavy
rains that fell about 8 or 10 o'clock a.
m, a great many others would have
gone. Between IL and II o'clock the
train came into our town crowded
for Herndon. Mr.. Haskins and fam
| lily, the Misses Wilson and Mr.. Whit
Radford went aboard from here.
Great Preparations were made to feed
the congregation OH that day
Mr.. Joe Fleming and others, near
Garrettsburg, had a large barbecue
commencing last Friday evening and
holding until Saturday night. Can
didates on hand ad infnitum.
Business is looking up in Howell
when business Tags we fill the space
by croquet playing, we have some
very interesting games. Parties
from Clsrksyille join us now and
then. We would like if the Herndon.
ties could visit us more, but we pre-.
sumo they are too busy.
Our town was visited by the young
ladies of Garrettsburg Saturday ev
ening, Miss Lena Organ and Mis-
Imogene White, horseback riding
also Miss Nellie Park who is visiting
relatives at j. B. Radford's.
Mr.. w. w. Radford tested hi
scales at the depot Saturday evening
by weighing six young ladies, weigh
aggregating 1000 pounds. 1t i

ladies. Come in one and all and b
weighed. You will find the agent a
