EDITOR REVIEW: In your last issue the
| correspondent from this place closes his letter
with the following words eve think tina
Zero must have forze up, the Scribbler ha!
| scribbled out, the Traveller passed on, anC
| XXX must have died" If that is so, you car
serve as medium, for xxx. The year 1885,
| is rapidly drawing TO a close and it is wei
for all to review their life, should it prove t
be good, amen, if not do better next year, a
you are Reviewer you can finish the inspira
| tional correspondence.
Again Mr.. Editor, one could infer from
reading your Myrtle items that Myrtle Creel
is very small place; that lew families con
stitute the town. For the information of tn,
readers of THE REVIEW l can state Myrtl,
Creek is 4 town, and stands good chance o
being city as soon as 1886. Mr., Simon Sc
lig has store and it is full of dry goods, hard
ware, groceries, ETC., he is also post master ant
during the past week he has at his own ex
pense made marked improvement in he pos
office viz; bran new set of post )flice boxes
SO you see that we, like you city folks can b
| tony. About two blocks from Selis's store yo,
come to store kept by young bachelor ia
miliarily called Hezie Dyer. If Hezie was no
SO bashful and modest, the chances are that h.
| would ere this be Benedict. He has fint
stock of Christmas and New Years ictas ant
Santa Claus would do we'll to give him call
| During last week series of meetings hav
been held here by Revs. Michael and Culp
they closed Sunday night and the chances ar
| that the ministers did their duty although the,
failed to get sinners to the anxious seat, possib
they may do better next time, especially If the,
will desist from censuring the people becaus
they do not believe as they do.
On Sunday night the DeMoss family gave
vocal and instrumental concert at the Overlan,
hotel, they had good house, all things con
sidered they did well. The church was occu
pied and our opera house is not in a suitable
condition, and dining room of hotel is no
suitable for a concert, at the same time Tel
Bailey, the landlord of the Overland, is entities
to credit for his efforts in their behalf Th
DeMoss family left here for Deer creek to visi
their relatives, rest and recuperate for two O
three weeks.
