Hurricane Creek Items.

All pers ous who have relatives or
friends buried in the Cemetery at Shiloh
Church, or any others who are interested,
are requested to meet at the Cemetery at
said Church early next Friday morning
(July 2O) and bring such tools as they have
which will be suitable for cleaning off
the grass and weeds and otherwise fixing
mn the graves. Wheelbarrows, spades,
shoyels, pitchforks and hoes and perhaps
an axe and mattock would be needed.
Come early and we can get through by
dinner time.
I take the following from the Defiance
(Iows) Enterprise Of May the 18th ult.
"Mr. Robert 4. Sawyers and Miss Stella
Webster, both of this place, were married
at Harlan on the 9th inst, at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Fl. Hobart, Rev. P. Fl.
King, pastor of the Harlan Christian
Church officiating. These young people
are we'll and favorably known in this
community and have the best wishes of
large circle of friends for their future
happiness and prosperity. NJ sawyer
is young plasterer and brick aiIu stone
mason and is possessed of all the hustling
qualities essential to success in life. The
bride is an estimable young lady and is
the only daughter Of Mr.. Allen Webster,
formerly of Manila, but now Of this
place." Mr.. Sawyer is grandson OF
Mr.. and Mrs. jas. +. Massey, formerly
of this County, but now Of Defiance,
Iowa. We Join his Iowa friends in wish
ing for them long and happy life.
We have been having refreshing show
ers for the last few weeks, and crops are
looking as fine as have ever seen at this
time Of year. Watermelons are begin
ing to come in now, so is the fried chick
ems and we will soon be done "laying.
by" and then for few days rest and
recreation.
Politics are not discussed much In this
vicinity, nor do we see or hear anything
of any candidate, except those announced
in the 1NTELLIGENcER last week. L
wish some of the candidates would come
around and see us and tell US what their
politics and platform Is, not that we can
do them any good, for we are debarred
by certain embargo laid on all antis, 30
that we can't vote in the coming prima-
ries unless we take the oath of allegiance
to the ''reform" party, which l don't
think can do. In fact, I don't think my
wife would allow me to If wanted to.
She sewed button on my pants this
morning, 80 that I could button both of
my suspenders for fear, she said,
some one not knowing me would think
I was Tillman man-not having but
one gallus. wish somebody would tell
me where we are at any how. have
been setting on the fence 30 long watch
ing the procession 90 along till I hardly
know how much Of it has passed, or how
much more there Is to come; but from
appearances they have nearly all passed
the stragglers have began to come
along. I wonder if the Conservatives
will be allowed to vote at the general
elections, if 30 who will there be for us
TO vote for? think the INTELL1aENCER's
proposition last week very good one
divide the members to the legislature
with us and we will help you elect them.
There is nothing unfair about that. Our
County Offices, as the 1NTELLIaENcER
SAYS, are nearly all filled by reformers:
I have no objection to single one OF
them, for they are all good men-as good,
perhaps, gs the ones we run against
them, and we are not complaining about
them. So If the zcformers want to get
together all Democrats, Reformers and
Conservatives, that will be 9 good way
for them to start. Who will begin frstY
/ see some of the correspondents want
us all to meet. am willing and will go
anywhere in the County, you all may
suggest any time after the first Friday In
