| -Lynnville was too badly fro
zen last week for news-10o beloI
zero was registered and she hov
cred around that arctic point 70
four days. Fruit and vegetable
were frozen and eggs froze ant
bursted near the fire. One coun.
tryman brought in large basket
full to sell and was Mortified to fine
that every egg chad had bursteG
on his way to town.
We learn that two negro chill
dren froze stark and stiff on Mr.
Grammar's place on Blue creek at
a negroes named Eli Mckinney
They were infants and we learr
were frozen in their beds. Much
suffering is reported among the
poorer class of negroes.
Typhoid fever seems to be scat
tered all over the country. James
Dalton has four children sick-twc
very low. j. II. Lancaster has q
little girl that has been sick four
weeks. Monroe Cannon is very
sick. All these cases are typhoid,
and it has to this date been a very
malignant, stubborn type, yielding
but slowly to medical treatment and
number of deaths have occurred
among both white and blsck.
Mrs. w. j. Wilsford has suf-
fered greatly for a month with an
ulcer in her ear. 1t is feared her
hearing will be impaired. She is
slowly recovering.
IS. J. Boyers, who thought his
large roam horse was stolen Christ
mas night and had looked for and
had detectives everywhere on the
lookout for the thief and horse,
Saturday found the horse near the
stable in sink hole. He had no
bruise on him and had evidently
starved to death, as he was
literally :skin aud bones when
found. He had been there 81 days.
Mr.. o. S. Smith lost a very
fine mule the past week. 1t is said
that it kicked Its foot through a
crack as high as a mans head where
it hung, breaking its leg so badly
it had to be killed. Phis 10 the 3rd
of this lot he has lost. He has 65
fat mules ON hand for sale.
R. M, Rugg and ]. w. Boat
wright went to Kentucky where
they bought a car of young mules
around Harrisburg. They tell
some amusing stories about the
number of tollgates, and wonder al
the size Of the saw logs, which
proved to be huge tobacco hogs
heads. For hearty laugh call on
Mr.. BRgg, jr., for the story. They
are letting out their mules to farm
ers to be returned fat two years
hence.
The case to determine the lie
gality of the Lynnville taxing dis
trict, which had almost been lost
sight of by our people, was decided
in the supreme court Saturday ad
verse to the taxing district ant
leaves Lynnville again without a
corporate existence. II will have
the effect to close the three saloon
here.
The sentiment of prohibition
has grown till / am told there is nc
money in selling and our saloon
men were on the point of quitting.
We do hope our people will now
harmonic and pull together for the
up-building of our common town
and country. This will be the end
of much vexed question. While 1
have held strong convictions and
my position has been made pub
lie when necessary, in all this strug-
gle have not suffered anything
partisan to get into these commu-
nications.
Mrs. Barrett, relict of tho late
Elder Wade Barrett, died Sunday
at the advanced aged of 50. She
was a woman of deep piety.
&C. A. Smith has been a week at
his old home near Mt. Pleasant.
Mr.. c. E. Isaacs, the new post
master, is well into his harness and
works well in his new place and Is
very efficient.
