Simpsons Chapel.
4 Our very quiet little neighbor-
hood has been reused up somewhat
concerning the burning of the Hay
wood school house. Your CORES
pendent writing from DeRay mis-
represented the opinions of large
number of good citizens here. I
have put myself to some trouble to
Inquire into the matter and have
not heard one responsible person
say that they believed the burning
to be incendiary, while on the
other hand the house had caught
on fire several times from a bad fue
and it was generally known by the
patrons of the school, and at least
by some of the directors, that they
were running a great risk of fire.
We are ready to admit that there
was some objections to Miss Cross
teaching here, your humble cores
pendent was one of the number, but
after the school began we heard of
no further dissentions. We think
that it would require a miserable
and audacious wretch indeed to
have fired a school house in the fore
part of the night SO near several
dwellings. Such erroneous reports
are calculated TO do this section
great damage, when really we know
of no more fsw-abidlng citizens
than in this neighborhood. We be-
lieve their morals are unexcelled.
The unprecedented bad wealth
er is making sad havoc upon some
of our people.
Mr.. Nathaniel Dougherty of
Kentucky, brother of Mr.. William
Dougherty, deceased, died at the
home of Mrs. Vim. Dougherty on
Pigeon Roost creek last Saturday.
His remains were shipped to Lex
ington, KY, Sunday to be inferred
at that place.
= Mr.. Abraham Hall died Mon
day at about p. m. of consump-
tion. His death was no surprise to
his many friends but serious loss.
We sympathize with the heart
stricken family in the hour of their
bereavement.
Mrs. Jane Moore who has been
confined to her bed for the last
four or FIVE months is gradually
growing weaker. Her extraordina-
ry strong constitution has held her
up well for one so far advanced in
years.
Mrs. Susan Tinnon has been
suffering intensely for some time
with erysipelas. We hope that she
will soon be out again as she is one
of the pillars of this church.
Walker Dickey has been con-
fined to his bed for several days of
heart disease. His brother, Willie
Dickey, returned few days since
from Nashville where he has been
attending lectures. DR.. Dickey's
aspirations aim high in the science
of medicine and we think that he
will succeed in winning an enViable
position in his profession.
Il has been a great deal of
| moving ucTc 6ulS WluIer UuI low
have moved far away.
The negro exodus has not
reached this section yet.
Moore & Samuels have started
their saw mill. Newt Parsons Will
move his saw mill as soon as the
weather will permit to saw logs for
Gid Simmons and Ben McGreW.
Williams q Watson have bought
quite fine lot OF poplar and ash
trees from Geo. McGIew and H. o.
Sellars. The above named parties
now own all of the valuable timber
on the late VIM. Moore tract of
land. With two mills upon the
place and Williams & Watson
hauling their logs to town, one of
the finest bodies of timber in the
county will soon be used up.
There will be large oat and
cotton crop put in in this neighbor-
hood this spring.
On a boom in this section
Prohibition, DR.. TaImage's sermons

new year TO the readers Of the CIT
