We wish 10 inhict little account of our
iaiugs IL his n"ighhul mood on your readers.
The .Ia!,uary suriabe OF the WGoillwn
" G. T [, WAS held at be house Of MIR.
tissiaa Johns, aui was a very enjoyable
All sir The only drawback 10 the enjoy
hi"nt "f the guests was the presence OF a
few chaps vino h sd been hanging on at the
SO csilel store 1--WE spoke OF in our iaSt) a
little too loug TO make them agreeable COM
ptry to the gre .ter part of those present.
However they were quiet and we will ven.
tnre hope that they were pruiited by the
exercises. The programme very fine,
especially the inu,ical part The February
meeting was held at the home of NJ Gin
ton Thompson almost under the shadow of
Hopeweii M. 4. Church. We enjoyed il ii ne
treat n the form OF an original essay from
the pen OF the recording secretary, Mrs,
heliholtz. 1t was entitled, The ) .loon in
Politics." 1t wds gem and was listened
to with rapt attention. We could not help
wondering while listening to it, why do not
more OF the ladies contribute such articles?
they would surely accomplish good among
the thinking part of the company. Ladies'
To Tho front! We were favored with read
ing 10y Miss EsCelle Keilholtz called "Our
Ministers Sermon" containing some good
hits; also other readings by Miss Ella Will
hams and Master Howard Brown. We must
here express our thanks for the very excel
lent music furnished by Rev. Mr.. Jones; it
ait Ia So
to hearlt. The next sociable will be b ED at
the residence of Mr.. K. T. Brown, March IL
Death has been abroad amongst us again
and taken away two OF our neighbors. VIM.
McMnileu, an old and much esteemed citi-
zen, and Mrs James Mccullough, an esLi-
Unable lady, both died on the moru1pg of
The I'll. The former was unmarried, the
latter had been married little less than a
Year, and leaves heart.broken husband
and AN infant of few weeks
Moving time is moving on US apace, and
in another month there will be a good MANY
changes in the neigh Jorho 1t seems
there are always few people who do not
know positively until within short time of
moving day where they will go.
We have just heard of the death of Mr..
EzekIal Thompson near Ebenezer Church.
His wife is hourly expected to die They
We're the oldest couple in that neigh orhood
Us far as the writer can learn.
We saw a slip out OF the Port Deposlt
CdH OF week before last, which said that
the .NidldEed Journal had asserted that there
had been whiskey hauled across the country
from Oxford TO Port, as much as three bar
refs at a time. The Cal denied it, and also
the Oxford Press, and called on the Journal
to prove it. We wonder what kind of proof
they want. Ever since we saw that denial
our fingers have been itching 10 write to
those folks and tell them that they nav
deny II, but 1t is as true gospel, neverthe-
less, and II any one of them will 90 out into
the neighborhood of Cecil Mills, almost any
one they meet can point them to the man
VINO hauled the evil stuff, and the man who
loaned hlm The Wagon to haul it i'll. We
don know whether they will accept this as
proof or not, but IL is true every word OF il.
and we suppose they will not be ashamed
to own to what they did. We have
weighty matter on our mind, but have not
time nor space for it this tins, but if YOU
and your readers will bear with us we will
present it before long. S.P. w
