After q silence Of several months we
again send you few items from this SEQ.
tion.
The health of our neighborhood is good,
with the exception of an epidemic of colds
among children, and. few of OUT adult
population are suffering from the same
cause. =
Mrs. w. D. Gray is quite i'll at this time,
but we hope she will soon be restored to
her wonted health.
Mr.. G. ". Long, one of our most pros.
porous and energetic farmers, has been
confined to his room for several weeks
from sickness. DR.. II. ID. Scudday is at.
tending him, and We hope under his
skillful treatment he will soon be restored
to his former good health,
It is our sad duty to chronicle the death
of Mrs. F.. r.. Moore, which occurred at
her home in Savannah Township on the
10th inst. Her death was very unex.
peoted. On the evening of the above date
She retired in her usual health and died
during the night of heart disease. She
was 81 wears old at the time of her death,
and leaves husband and six small chill
dren to mourn her death. She had been a
consistent member Of Cross Roads Baptist
Church for several years. The >bereaved
family have the coincidence Of our entire
community.
Rev. II. M. Allen, pastor of the Church
at this place, treated bis congregation to a
very thoughtful and timely sermon on
last Sabbath. '.The evidence ofthe spirit
ual life and growth in the Christian" was
the subject Of his excellent discourse.
The Sunday School at this place is we'll
Differed, and is in good trim for thorough
and efficient work during the present year.
After several disappointments, the con.
gregation at Hebron had the pleasure oi
hearing their new pastor, Rev. w. s. B.
| Ford, for the first time on last Sunday
evening. His sermon was well received
by his audience, and we trust his labor
will be crowned with success during his
ministry at this place. The Sunday
School at Hebron Is also in f1ourishing
condition, and is well supplied with lite
| rature.
In our opinion the teachers in our Sun
| day Schools should exact more thor.
ough study of the lessons by the scholars
| in their respective classes, and thereby
cause the work done in the Sunday School
to be productive of moro lasting good te
| the children and all concerned in this
noble work.
Sweet, balmy Spring has come again
and the small boy is already clamoring te
| go barefoot, and is planning his campaigr
against the finny tribe.
Under the genial influence Of the few
days of Spring like weather we have had,
| the buds have commenced to swell ano
the flowers to bloom. Old farmers IN
this section predict an abundance OF fruit
this year.
Spring oats have all been sown and are
up and looking well. Work upon The
farms is progressing finely. Every farmer
is busy blowing, hauling and putting II
guano, Fully as much commercial ma
nure will be used this year as last, ant
the area in cotton and corn will be en-
larged.
Messrs. Long g. Pruitt will move theil
saw mill to q location near Hebron Church
in few days, and will engage in saving
lumber for the citizens of that section.
The public roads in this section are il
bad condition, in some places; but un
der the administration of the pres
ent Board of County Commissioners W
| hope to see them greatly improved during
the present year. From obserY alton, ant
some little experience, re think it woule
| nav for the Commissioners to furnlsl
every overseer in the County with at leas
half dozen good ditching shovels, ant
throw away the old hoes, scrapes, Dc
More work can be done with goot
shovel than three or four old hoes ant
scrapes. More anon. OMEGA"
