by request OF tne eultOr Will say In
regard to the wheat outlook in this Sec
ton, that, generally speaking, the
stand is good, but it is very small and
doesn't make much of a show, altho'
the recent showers and sunshine are
causing it to appear visible to the ma
ked eye without the aid of a magnify
ing glass. A very limited amount was
sown last fall, but if no misfortune be.
falls it in the future we feel reasonably
sure of a pretty fair crop.
Our farmers are busily engaged in
sowing oats, planting potatoes, garden
ing a little and making preparations
for their various spring crops.
Our schools all closed out on Friday
last. We understand our teachers all
gave general satisfaction. The citizens
of Dry Creek, aided by our worthy d.
rectors, are building a good and sub
stantial school house for the accommo-
dation of that loyal old Republican
portion of the Fourth District. That
section has needed a house for a num-
Der of years, but on account of a disa-
greement on the location and the diff
Guilty Of getting a good title for the
land to build upon, the matter was de-
ferred from time to time, until S. b.
Keplinger proposed to give them a site
and otherwise assist them, when as one
man they united, and are now going
ahead, and their house is an undoubted
reality.
The Culver Bros. Range Company
has been canvassing this district and
succeeded in selling ten or a dozen
ranges to some of our most prosperous
citizens.
Capt. d. D. hardwood has taken the
delinquent tax list for collection in our
district. Owing to the scarcity of mo-
ney he will have a pretty tough time
with some of the boys.
F. T. Watts has a smile ON that ex-
tends from the corners of his mouth
around and down his spinal column
to the bosom of his pantaloons. 1t is
a girl and weighs the usual number of
pounds.
James Strickland, Eli Bradley and
Chas. Baker have all become happy
fathers within the past few days.
Our merchants are all complaining
of hard times and slow collections.
John Boyd, one of Knoxville's most
popular drummers, was out last week
causing our merchants to replenlsh
their stocks of drugs, groceries, etc.
R. w. Miller is making preparations
to add some new additions to his dwell
ling.
Henry Hoss also contemplates build
a neat dwelling house at an early date.
Calvin Hoss is having a good deal of
lumber sawed to put on the market for
building purposes.
Bob Mccall paid Knoxville a flying
visit last week. He refuses howe yer
to tell how many crossties there are be.
tween Telford and Knoxville.
L. G. CARRIER has secured work with
the Cooperative Town Co., at Eliza
bethton, and left for that place on last
Thursday.
We have three postoffices in our dis.
trict, and as they are all held by Re-
publicans, we presume their official
heads will soon be Topped off. For Gar
ber's Mills John L. Blair, former post
master under Cleveland, and d. B.
Fleming are the applicants. 1t is pref
ty generally conceded that Mr.. Blair
will get the appointment. AS to AL
fred and May Day we do not know of
any applicants as yet, but presume
that there will be ere long. AS these
offices are no big bonanzas the pres
emit officials will not be bankrupted, or
the lucky applicants greatly enriched
on that account.
DIR. c. A. Royston, who left this place
for Arkansas some time since, had a
severe stroke of paralysis recently. AT
last accounts he was slowly improving.
We hope the Doctor will o regain
his usual good health. PHELIM.
