some sort of contribution from his friends. |
therefore send a few items.
Affairs on the Mountain are moving along
quietly, and with the exception Of some cases
of sickness there is not much to report.

the holidays.
Increased orders at the Wheel Factory at
L. W.,
days in the week and eight hours per day, which
is good thing for the neighborhOod, as a
great deal OF money is thus distributed. Mr..
Joel Hollingsworth, the proprietor Of the fac
tory, whose hand was so badly cut by circu-
lar saw, a few weeks ago, is improving SO
much that he is able to be about again
The Sunday School at the Mountain Chris
tian Church proposes to hold a Christmas

State Evangelist. Rev. Mr.. Cooke is a fluent

tening to.

| ing few weeks with her mother, Mrs. Lee

Mr.. George Archer, of wilma, is having Il
barn so by 81 feet built. Orsburn & Steele are

D. T. Archer is putting up an ice house and
| intends building tenant house during the

and hog and hominy is the order Of the day
/ notice In the Baltimore SuI of Saturday
| 18th, n report of the Maryland Road League
which is so meagre, that it is difficult for any
| one who was not present to get much idea OF
| what was transacted at that meeting. There
| fore the public generally are not much en-
| lightened but so far as | have talked with the
| taxpayers of this section, they are not in favor
| of road engineer, as proposed i'll the bill tC
| be submitted. Generally the people of this
| section are in favor of each election district
paying for the mending Of its own roads
which would give the first district great dea
more work for the money levied than they
now get and consequently better roads, as
We have in different parts of the district beds
of the very best gravel, which would, If spread
upons the road, in few years make them per
manently hard, and could be maintained at a
| very small outlay, and be much better to drive
| over than If made of stone. G. E. G.
