''Old District School," but gave it up
on account of SO much sickness.
We are in receipt of letter from
w. B. Eastman, recently of Sutton,
but now of West End, n. O., in which
he speaks of the beauty and agreea-
bleness of the winter month in that
locality Mr.. Eastman and G. w. Taft
are doing a lumber business in the
yellow pine region of that state.
Miss Barr of Greensboro Bend, who
teaches school on the South Ridge,
was obliged to close school several
days last week OH account of her
sickness. This grip seems to be max
ing clean sweep of the whole town,
but as yet only two cases have proved
fatal. Horace Putnam is not expect
ed to live.
Rev. Mr.. Churchill is evidently the
right man for the right place. Since
he took charge of the church here,
some six weeks ago, the church war,
which has been SO disturbing through
y
has to all appearances, been dropped
forever. The Christian spirit is mani
tested by both sides in the controver
cy, the church is well filed at the
regular services, and it begins to look
like old times, when the church was
the center of all attraction, and the
prominent influence and power in
town. Thank the Lord and Elder
Churchill for harmony and give the
late contending factions due praise
for exercising that Christian spirit
which does away with swords and
pruning hooks and creates a demand
for plough shares Union.
