Ed. Regjster-WelI, we conjecture, it is
about time for us to chronicle few more
items. News is drcadfully scarce, so please
excuse our dull communications and irregu-
lar writings.
Since last article, one of our most amicable
associates, Mr.. Emory shelton, Of Cedar
Creek, has been enrolled student in Gale
donna College. Friend En:ory, may you
have immense success, is the felecitation of
an old friend-the writer.
During last month Mr.. Frank Fitzpatrick,
BelleIiew, was out among us canvassing for
valuable religious book, entitled, 1.-THE
Road to Heaven Books are hard to vend
now days, although religious. If we could
only get the "two dollars day and roast
beef" as insinuated by the Republican party
before the Presidential election, that we
should receive IL their candidate, Harrison,
would be elected, we might he able to buy
myriads of good and useful books. The Re-
publicans did triumph, but where is the
roast beef and two dollars a day: This GER
tainly must be a fiction; nevertheless, some
of our hard, pauper workingmen would be
satisfied under the present STIMULATION to get
either; but the great trouble is they can get
neither; 10, not even the roast beef itself,
letting alone two dollars a day.
Oat-sowing is about finished. Wheat and
meadows look unusually good for this time
of the year. 1t is said by some OF The farm
els that the chinch- bugs are entirely Danish
ed and will not be troublesome to us any
more. But we believe them to be merely
In1nr n SI1rfopp of no Ornnp1 Ubprp they
dwell mostly during the winter, awaiting the
proper time to make their attack upon diff
ferent species Of edible vegetation. BY care
full investigation, in turning over rocks and
other similar ways of crutiny, we find them
in abundance.
Do not the peach trees at present, all full
with blooms, look lovely: The fruit yields
will be large this year if they are not inter-
fered with by frost or otherwise damaged.
We took Il pleasant visit to Pine Grove
last week. While en- route we staid night
at Herman Dammann's. They have one
nice piece, of growing wheat, as fine as any
we have seen this year. John, Andrew and
Willie Dammaun are three good, sociable
and friendly boys.
Hog cholera has been prevalent at Pine
Grove. Mr.. Ludwig Reber of that place
has moved to Graniteyille. The residence

er, \. J. Middleton, who is engaged to assist
him in farming this summer.
Mr.. d. II. Adams, Goodland, was visiting
friends in our burg last Saturday and Sun
day. What do you think about our pretty
y tad
you to come again.
Mr.. c. c. Farmer, whom we noted some
time ago as being departed for Southern
California, has now returned. Glad to
welcome you back again, Mr.. +. How do
you like California, Charles: You did not
stay long.
Rev. J. c. Williams talked some good
doctrine yesterday Sunday at Cedar
Grove.

consecutive term of school at Pine Grove
this coming Autumn. While there we intend

Sunday, April 21st inst. at Pepper Street
school house. ct Is some times called the
the Ruddock schoolhouse). He will hold

O'Clock a. NJ, and the schoolhouse alluded

able worker in Christianity, an eloquent
speaker and seems to be well yersed in Holy
Scriptures and so let US all come out nj both
places and give him large audiences.
