Sweet Air, 10th District.-About the only
discussable topic at present is the weather, and
while it is both worn and unavailable the steady
pour of rain has caused considerable comment and
completely upset outside plans and operations
Yet we are assured of supply of the necessary,
the replenishing of the springs, and with the first
ray OF sunshine and warmth the swelling buds will
BURST the turf will assume its brightest hue, the
birds will sing and the clouds will have passed
away revealing bright side to everything, even
the gloom of the past week. Farm work In some
instances is considerably advanced, many having
finished fencing and repairing, while few have
oats ground plowed and everything in readiness
for seeding, only awaiting the clearing away OF the
elements.
1t is with L4uch regret announce the continued
indisposition of Mr.. James N. Henderson, resi-
dent of this district and warm admrer and sub
scriber of The UNION. He is gentleman of the
old school, of liberal yet modest principles, and
whose many years of usefulness have justly won
the large circle of friends that wish him speedy
return to his former robust health
Mr. Edward O'Donovan, also of this nelghbor-
hood, has been missed from his usual thorough
fares, caused by an illness that confined him to his
room and physicians care.
Mr.. John D. Weakley, whose injuries on the
railroad were reported in your last edition, is 60
ing around and although considerably shaken up
so lightly. think it would be a wise suggestion
that in future the M. c. Railroad allow a greater
space between the platform and track. AT pres
ent, unless GOODNESS and presence OF mind Is used
a crushing and instant death is inevitable at all
the platform sites along the road by parties get
ting off and on while the train is in motion.
Mr. A. johnson, another neighbor, agent for the
Lister phosphate, &C., is also unable to leave the
house and is under the doctors care. SO you see
we have our share of complaining ones just now,
but evidently all will be convalescent with the set
ting of the weather.
Last week Messrs. Fred. Halle and Thomas
Jessop, two well known and popular young gen
tlemen of this neighborhood, started for Spring
field, Ohio, where they intend entering business
and, hear, to reside permanently. The best
wishes of large number of friends accompany
them.
Our school is fourishing and the scholars are on
the gui riue in anticipation of their entertainment,
Whit WI uucur tho 10th Of this month. The
cbjct, to raise money for the purchase OF an en-
cycbpedia, is worthy one and should receive the
liberal assistance of our entire community. Judg
ingfrom the previous exhibitions all will be fully
repaid who attend.
