Mr.. Abraham Michael successful car

He is one of the oldest inhabitants of this

until 1858. when he removed to Rocking
ham. He is remarkably well preserved,
with the exception of slight deafness.
A protracted service is now in progress
at Parnassus under the charge of Rev. 4.

TIE COFFEE FESTIVAL AT WHEAT's,
which has been in progress for a day or
two, has given our citizens the opportunity
of finding out just what a good cup of cot
fee is. From an elegant silver urn the
smoking beverage has been drawn for
every one who would come and drink.
The gentlemanly representative OF the
firm. Mr. E. B. Kelley, was kept pretty
busy for day or two, and we doubt not
that Mr.. Wheat will have numerous calls
for the Java and Mocha, the good qualities
of which have been so acceptably tested
by many of our citizens.

with greater interest the expanding bud Of
