DISMAL.
Rev. F. r. Underwood preached a
fine sermon at the Baptist chapel the
second Sunday, which would have
been enjoyed by all had it not been
for The unmelodious strains of cry
ing babies, which twanged away al
most necessarily.
Where is winter? Christmas is
gone and another new year has made
its appearance and no winter. We
guess the whistling March winds will
make up the deficiency.
Farmers are beginning to prepare
for another years labor and THEY
have seer no winter yet, which is
very queer to some.
The Farmers Alliance is ON a
boom in this part Of the county. All
are preparing to get guano and other
articles as low Us possible. They are
making prices drop considerable.
CLOD-HOPPER.
Old Dismal is booming. for there
are more handsome residences in
course of erection this winter, and
more preparing to build good and
handsome buildings than ever before
in the history of our township. 1t
seems that our people have caught
the spirit of progress, for this wri-
ter has never before seen at this sea-
son of the year in this section, the
people so busy in and around their
farms. Everybody seems to be
straining every nerve to be ready for
the approaching spring. Ditchipg,
clearing land, moving out old fences,
(aad by the way that's the way for
them to go-never move them in
hauling muck, surf, straw, and try
ing to raise more home fertilizers.

Autry back home after spending the
Christmas holidays in old Johnston
