pressive here lately, we have resolved to
post the readers Of your valuable paper as
to events transpiripg in this community.
Everything is moving along smoothly,
and farmers are very busy putting in
guano and planting corn. The health OF
the community Is good, and present pros
pect is that big crop of cotton will be
raised in the Fork this year.
There are three good schools near here,
viz: Miss Cora Crowther holds forth at
Shady Grove and Miss Matte Kay at
Double Springs, while Miss Leila Roberts
wields the rod at Smiths Chapel. The
attendance is not large, but we suppose
the schools will continue for some time, as
all the patrons seem we'll pleased with the
teachers.
Mrs. N. A. Hyde, who for long time
resided in this community, died at Town
Vile on the Goth inst, and was inferred at
Roberts Church on the day following.
Mr.. W. G. Moore, our popular miller,
had the misfortune to lose his mule some
time ago, caused by a tree falling. on 1t.
Our young friend, Spearman Dobbins,
had a similar misfortune not long. since.
The loss falls heavily on both gentlemen.
We will not tell you where and when
broken, It Is sufficient to say he has suf-
fered to that extent.

paid Us a flying visit not long since, &C.
compsnied by Mr.. John Tompkins, OF
that place. -
