| Ed. RcgiSteY-As | have not seen ANYTHING
| from this point in your valuable paper for
some time, will endeayor to give you a few
items that have come to my observation of
late.
Winter came down upon us very suddenly
18th inst, and up to the present continues
its grip"
The dreadful disease ''Ia grippe" has been
playing fearful havoc in our vicinity for al
indefinite time. Some cases have proved
fatal by running into pneumonia. The dis
ease seems to give every one fair trial, and
those who have escaped think they are very
fortunate indeed.
Farmers have commenced their spring
work, fencing, etc, preparatory to the gem
eral farm work.
The merchandising firm at Black has
changed. Mr.. y. V. Hendrix, former pro-
prietor, traded the stock of goods to Jno.
Goggin, Sr., for his farm. We wish both
gentlemen success in their new enterprise.
Mr.. \. j. Miner has been quite sick with
fever, but is about himself once more.
Mr.. III. G. Stevens has moved to N1nOna,
Shannon Co., TO engage in the hotel business.
Success to him.
Saturday and Sunday, 1st inst, was the
regular church meeting at this place, but
was failure on &C count Of pastor not put
ting in appearance. This is three months
we have not been without preaching, but
suppose most of the disappointments have
been due to the nclemency of the weather,
rs one of Hicks three days storm periods
seem to hit the 1St of every month center.
We had considerable high water about
the last few days of February, but no seri-
Gus damage done.
Born, unto Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Hartman,
February DIST, 1890, Il girl All parties
concerned are doing well, "Pap" included.
Mr.. a. V. Hendrix is going to have new
barn erected on his farm near Black. T. D,
Harrison is to do the carpenting.
Mr.. G. w. Carty is having his farm i'm
proved considerable by cleaning and clear
ing up ground, fencing, etc.
Two young Messrs. MaIlows, of Washing
ton county, are visiting relatives and friends
in these parts, and, we presume, looking
about the prospects of the fair sex of this
vicinity.
Mr.. Murphy was in this section purohas-
ing mules recently, and succeeded In getting
several very nice mules. Price not very
good.
Rumor says we can report wedding 10
you soon, and maybe two. We hope so, AT
least, as news is scarce, and very scarce, as
the grippe has hold on everything.
Wheat in this section is looking fiue, and
if it continues seasonable will undoubtedly
have a good crop.
We think peaches are gone by the board.
Several trees have been in bloom in this see
ton.
For fear of wearing your patience, Mr..
Ed, with my dry and dull items, and think
ing this Will be puzzled to pass.

OBITUARY.

miles west of Black p. 0. on Big Brushy
Greek. She was young Christian, having

Dear as thou vert, and justly dear.
We will not weep for thee;
One thought should check the starting tear,
1t is that thou are free.
Thy passing spirit gently fed,
Sustained by grace divine;
o, may such grace on us be shed,
And make our end like thine.
