the young and aged separated, the
old people to talk of the pioneer
days, the young to seek their own
enjoyment. Many presents were
given the two ladies. 40 years ago
Absalom Ewing met, loved and mar
ried the lady he now lives with =
They were among the early settlers
of this country, braved the dangers
of the wilderness and helped to
make our country what it is. Mrs
Ewing is of that sturdy Virginia
stock that were SO energetic in car
wing out a home in this part Of
the then-distant West. The result
of her marriage with Mr.. Ewing has
been 4 girls and one boy, and %
little people call her grandma
May she not only live to see her
next birthday, the 74th, but to hear
at her knee the prattling tongues of
25 great grandchildren shouting
grandma"
L. B. Day, of Stafford, has been

ing sheep and cattle.

friends by surprise. He speaks well
of the West, and says he enjoyed
better health in n. L. Dakota than
any place he has ever been.
MARRIED.-Nov. Sd, by NJ. War
wick, Esq, Mr.. George E. Dent and
Mrs. Ann Law. Loves holy fame
ranklcs in the breast of the old as
well rs the young How strange
that the numerous unmarried young
people in our neighborhood will wait
for older people to set the matrimo-
nial globe to movingl Squire War
wick is an old hand at tying the
knot-charges reasonable; but of all
men to do justice at a marriage
feast, give us Warwick.
P. B. has just returned from a
trip in the direction of the home of
Huckleberry Charley. Life has no
pleasures for him since he has ceas-
ed to sign his name with P. n. at
the end of it. He came home with
drove Of sheep-by way Of excuse
though the general opinion is that
he was seeking consolation from the
said IIuckleberry.
We advise Cyrus, Of Summerfield,
to touch up a little on MITCHELL s
Gcog., he might mislcad the minds
of tie younger readers of the SPIRIT
in regard to the earth's rotation
1t may move the way you speak at
Summerfeld, but in this part OF
Monroe there is no kill-me-quick
whiskey, our minds are clear. and
we have 10 objections to the world
moving in the same old way-from
West to East. See SPIRIT Of Nov.
