CAREERS MILL.

Mrs. Livina Crosswhite, widow of
Jesse C~rosswhite, had a slight stroke of
paralysis a few days ago she was
moved from her home to her daugh-
ters, Mrs. j. NJ. CARRIER, SO she could
be cared for by her children. Mrs.
Crosswhite is lear seventy years of
age and has always been a very in
dustrious active woman. She is the
mother of eleven children, all of whom
are living but two. Rev. j. NJ. Cross
white has been real sick for some
weeks, but is improving. William
Wilson, of Nebraska, who has been
visiting his father for some time, has
returned, accompanied by his nephew,
Bird Brown. The young people of this
community have been enjoying the
day, or night rather, for some time ;
and | predict that corn(s) will not be
a scarce article this spring. A bright
sunbeam of FEBRUARY has struck Mr..
bask in its light, even though it be a
ray of FEBRUARY, instead of March.
DON'T KNOW Do You.
The recent Easter squall somewhat
frightened some of the timld citizens,
but we don t think the damage resulting
from the cool weather will amount to
much. Vegetation of all kinds is fur
Their ADVANCED than ever was known at
this season of the year. Our district
primary passed off quietly here but
was well attended and every one did
his best to secure the nominations of
his favorites. We had so many good
clever men to vote for that it was diff
fcult to decide in many cases. The
nomination of some of our district can
didates are very distasteful to a ma
jortiy of our people and one or
independent candidates will be in the
field and will be elected over the NOM
inee by a good majority. 1t is with
of some Of Jul young Democratic
friends from the party in power, and
alliance to the grand old Republican
party. We can name five here, and
the prospects are that more will see
the error OF their ways and come over
on the Lords side before the August
election. The school at Bethesda
closed last Friday Mr.. Watts gave an
entertainment in the evening which
was well attended, and at which the
pupils taking a part acquitted them
selves with honor. No preparation
was made and only volunteer pupils
participated. If our county was filled
with such teachers as Mr.. Watts u
public schools would be worth attend
ing, and would at least be on a level
with the best counties of this State.
A reorganization OF the Sunday School
at Bacon's School House was effected
on last Sunday: VIM. Waller and Keen
Bacon were elected Superintendent
and Assistant Superintendent. They
have certainly made the school o sue
cess during the past year, and the plos-
poets are much brighter for the ensu-
ing year. Would that we had more
such men at work in the cause.
Charley hardwood will please excuse
us for failing to report his marriage to
Miss Sue Barron, some two weeks ago
we assure him the oversight was not
intentional. Rev.Jesse Clark tied the
nuptial knot. We wish the happy
couple all the pleasure and good luck
imaginable. Rev j. II. Moor took us
to task for reporting the arrival of a
bouncingboy at his house. 1t seems
our information was incorrect. The
arrival was at the residence of his son
in law. We cherfully make the cor
rection. The jolly, good natured AL
bert Butler, of the Fifth District, is a
regular attendant al our Sunday School.
We have been preaching to him the
gospel of Republicanism, but so far,
have been unable to aust him to see
the error of his way and we are afraid
he will die in his Democratic sins in
spite of all we can say or do, we have
not, however, given him up, although
it does seem that he has given over to
a hardness of heart" and reprobacy
of mind. The door of the G. o. P. is
still open and we venture to say that
ere the August election comes off Al
bert will be a member in good standing
and full fellowship. We also predict
that our good friend, 7. A. Radford, of
the Fourth, will be found in our camp;
at least that is the opinion of some of
our best informed citizens. Mr.. Cross
white and Lowe, of johnson County,
were down last week on a visit to
friends and relatives. The hearts of
two of our young ladies were made
glad by their presence, Hurrah for
our nominees today whoever they may
be. PHELIM.
