EDITOR HERALD:-This has been such
q dark, gloomy day. Mentally feel
dark and gloomy-"fit for treason" and
like pouring out my soul to my "best
in spirit-sO I'll content myself by Civ
ing you the news hereabOuts, tho Pm
not one bit in a writing humOr.
The meeting which has boon in pro-
gress at the Baptist church has closed,
and Rev. Mr.. Oakley has returned to

Rev. Lewis Powell, wife and baby, Of
Nashville, are staying at Mrs. Joe
Loves for a few weeks. Bro. POweii's
health has not been of the best and he
is resting now from his labOrs. We

Little Byrne Patty has been qnito
sick, but is up again. Miss Sophia
Sommerford is imprOvIng, but her sister
Irene gets no better.
Last Monday Messrs. Smith and
Laney found bad-to hook, buttlng
steer in the woods east OF here; the
steer about the same time found Messrs.
Smith and Laney. Then it was agreed
among them that three was Il crowd and
somebody must "git." The boys say
that it was the steer that ran, but until
we hear from the steer, we must re-
serve Judgment. They further say that
the epidermis OF that steer will decorate
their room before the roses bloom
again. But on this point also the stoer
must be heard. Perhaps he, too, has
resolved to ornament his pen with
skins.
The hour is near bed time; the solemn
tick of the clock mingles with the seed
tick, and the cricket chirps on the
hearth, while the "skeeter" sings a
musical song. Don't you suppose we've
said enough? Yes2 Well then, we'll
stop. VERNA NILLIEkS'
