GARBER'S MILL.

Wheat sowing is being rapidly push
ed, many of our farmers are about done,
some only commenced ornot begun.
Potato digging and sorghum making is
progressing finely. A Sunday school
was organized at Bacon 8 School House
last Sunday, with VIM. Waller, Super
intendent; they will elect their teach
ers next Sunday. Sabbath schools,
properly conducted and patronized, are
a blessing to any community, but we
have the first one to see in this part of
the Lords moral vineyard to amount
to a row of pins; hope this one, hoWev-
er, will prove an exception; with the
hearty cooperation of the people Mr..
Waller is the man TO make a ucce of
it. 1t is generally understood that the
p~ostofice at Alfred will change hands
in the near future, Henry Clark having
secured the appointment. In the Ian

down." Mr.. Clark will give general sat.

cation for the office, but if located at
his residence, some high old kicking
will be done, and most of the patrons
will be compelled to transfer their pat
ronage to other offices, more accessible.
Fred Henley has commenced hauling
lumber for his residence. Our schools
are all in successful operation, and are
giving satisfaction. On account of dis.
satisfaction and a failure to agree on a
location for a new house at Kyker's,
there will be no school at that place /;
we understand, however, that the PEG,
pie have about compromised the mat
ter, and with the cooperation of the
Board of Directors will soon erect a
building and be prepared for next year.
S. T. Eikenberry, j. NJ. CARRIER, Tom
Radford and Cal Hoss are on a pleas

State, andif prices suit, Mr.. Eikenberry
will buy a a or two of cattle to ship
to Dayton, Ohio. The communion
meeting of the Brethren at Pleasant
View, on last Saturday and Sunday,
was we'll attended, but it is said the
best of order did not prevail Saturday
evening. A little application of law
might have a good effect on some of
the evil minded. We understand Hor-
ton Broyles has secured the p~ostof1ce at
FEBRUARY, and appointed J. j. Jones as
s%istant, who will give satisfaction. The
retiring postmaster, as we'll as the one
at Alfred, will manage to exc out a

hurt by his horse falling with him, is
able to resume his mail route. Not
withstanding these good old Democrat

prices for our products, our farmers,
and laborers are far from
being contented, and are amusing
themselves cussing the powers that be
bringing about this golden era of
and unbounded prosperity.
