at a glance there is to be little changip.
about to take place between now and tn.
first of March. Some one might think you)
scribe is exaggerating little on the subject
but [ assure you that these are not all the
changes there are to be made, but may want
an item for another time. Therefore refrain
from giving them all at once.
| Last week your writer, in company with
j. r., made trip to Black z. O., Edge Hill
and surroundings, ana we selected for our
ronte, that creek that your famous writer
Mr.. T. c., has travelled so many times and
gave so many glowing accounts, of which
was Joe's Creek. 1t was my first time over
that route and can give no description On
reaching our destination we stopped with
&. w. Carly and there learned that the peo-
pie of that neighborhood had been very
much shocked by three deaths all within one
week, as follows: First, Mrs. Lien Goggin,
who leaves husband and several children
to mourn her loss. Second, was Mr.. Jm
Smith, who leaves wife and children, and
the other was Mr.. Elmer Carly, young
man in the bloom of life. He leaves a mother,
brothers and sisters to mourn his departure.
Your writer was personally acquainted with
all the above named and their families, and
they have our heartfelt sympathy in this,
their dark hour OF trouble and affection.
But they have not wholly passed away
something of them is left that cannot suffer
| change, and nay, whereof l cannot be bereft;
Ay, something OF their love which ne'er
Less real is than this clasping air,
Weave on, my life. but in thy weft,
No fairer threads will ever be
Than these of their dear memory.
While at Black | visited the school, and
everything seemed TO be progressing nicely.
Mr.. Joe January has 4 good school and his
efforts are being crowned with success. This
is his second term at that place. We also
attended prayer meeting two nights and a
spelling bee one night. Your writer enjoyed
all very much, and my companion being
single gentlemen and seeing so many good
looking girls, was elevated to no little extent.
Mr.. Frank Galiaher, of near Edge Hill,
made flying trip to our valley Saturday on
business.
Our town has been very much shocked by
the death of our esteemed friend and post
master, j. l. Hood, who was inferred at
Caledonia cemetery Sunday A large con-
course of friends followed him to his last
resting place. The funeral was preached
ut the Presbyterian church. VIII try to
furnish special obituary next week.
