CAREERS MILL.

Plenty of rain and mud, i~nterspersed
with a little cool weather at this writ
ing. Mrs. w. A. Brown, who died here
q few days ago, was the last, but two,
of a large family that has been carried
off by the grim reaper within the past
few years. Her father, mother, three
brothers and three sisters preceded her
to the dark and silent tomb within the
past Is or 1S years, and all, but two,
dread and fatal disease, consumption.
Mrs. Brown left a husband and four
small children, who have the heartfelt
sympathies of the entire community in
their sad bereavement. Mrs. Hestilow
and daughter Maggie, who left here
some two years ago, returned from
Northern New York to the residence of
her son near here N day last week.
Walter CARRIER, grandson of Mrs. Isaac
CARRIER, who left here some ten years
ago, since which time he has resided in
Nebraska and other States of the wild
and woody" West, is back on a visit to
friends and relatives. Walter was quite
a boy when he left here, but is now a
stout stalwart man, and has the APP
pearance of one who has certainly
"been there" Brother Harold, of Greene
County, is up circulating among friends
and a~cquaintances and preaching for
them at night in the school houses of
the neighborhood. They talk of pro-
tracing the meeting at the Cherokee
Baptist Church or at Bacon nearby.
There is great need of a genuine revival
of religion in this section. When we
say genuine we don't mean fox fire re-
ligion, but the old fashioned bible kind.
We have plenty men and women here
outside the pales of the church who
need a little shaking up, and for that
matter we have scores in the churches
here who need working over; or in other
words should do their first work" If
all church members we know of here
should 60 to Heaven when they die an
honest man who has money, would
have to sleep with his breeches under
his head. We understand our good
friend and tooth pick manufacturer, j..
l.. hardwood has decided to make the
race for Constable and School Director
of the Fourth District. Jim has many
friends here, all OF W 1om unite and as
sure him that when HI freezes over
they will be found standing on the ice
and %hallooing huriah for "Jeems." We
notice from recent announcements that
candidates Tor the several county offices
are becoming AZ thick as fleas in the
seat of a duichman's breeches. All
right bows, shy your casters into the
ring aud be III mind that the tough
est hide will hold out the longest, and
also bear in mind that the hides OF the
present incumbents are made of pretty
good material and will stand a good
deal OF lambastiug and dressing up and
twisted about and then be att lie to wear
four years longer. AT any rate boys,
we predict that all. present incumbents,
who are eligible, will refill the offices
during the ensuing term of two and
four years. At any rate if the senti-
ment of the county is in accord with
that of the Fourth the thing will be al
most unanimous. Our taxpayers are
hustling to get money in order to pre-
vent their taxes going into the hands
of the collector. Our farmers are we'll
advanced with their blowing for the
spring crops. The indications for a
fine fruit croo in this section is said
by knowing ones, 10 be good. Hope
their production may prove true.
