ton and cut wood, while others did
nothing. Wonder if anybody prayed
for peace and harmony throughout the
land.
Everybody seems to be very hopeful
under the depressed financial circum'
stances. We have almost given DE
the hope of the thought of making q
clear dollar. We are learning the idea
that if we can't get what We like, to
- like what we can get.

There has been a debating society

the Union Debating Society. The go
ciety meets every Wednesday night.
The query discussed last Wednesday
aight was, (which does Us the most
] honor, Columbus for discovering Amer

The question was discussed very ably
on both sides, but the decision was
given in favor of the negative-Wash-

ETY. has challenged the union society
for joint debate. They have accepted,
and the time appointed is next Friday

We again had the pleasure of wor
> shipping with the good people Of st
PauPs congregation on Sunday last
Rev. Sigh preached one Of his coed ole
convincing sermons from Matt. 25:46
The theme Of his discourse was the
resurrection and general judgment
Will somebody please tell me where
another pastor has served the same
congregation for % succe ssive years
i. After services were overit was not long
before we found ourself in the Sligt
section. We intended our visit to TX
short, but the rain soon convinced VI
that we must stop all night or a, gene
: raj ducking would be our condition
OF course while we were under such
kind hospitality as is always shown t<
. guests by the kind family Of Rev. Sigh
ne were not long in deciding to make
our stay until another day. Mrs
Sigh is y young lady Of fine talent ard
of generous disposition, and we an
always made to feel welcome while
thrown under her treatment.
To give some account Of what hog
cholera has done in this section we viii
briefly mention the loss Of three fami
lies. Rev. Sigh lost %, DR.. Werts z
John Shealy and Dave Mccarthy
which constitute one family, IS, thus
making loss for three families of Al
hogs.
We notice on the south side Of the
beautiful little town of Slighs, the
trustees If this school district have
J selected house site for = school build
ing. The lumber is already laid down
and we were informed that work on
the building will be pushed forward
until the building is completed. The
trustees have also elected their teacher,
Miss Mary Miller, and opened the
school.
School is being taught now in one
end of Dr.. Werts' dwelling until the
school-house is completed.
/ We have never seen better evidence
of thrift and enterprise in little town
than interest in the education OF the
young CHIPS.
