CHERRY GROVE.

On accout OF aMlctlons, sickness and
deaths in our family l have for several
weeks failed to chronicle the events
occurring in this section of the moral
vineyard. The second Sunday the
Rev. Mary Wescott, an able and elo.
quent divine, filled the pulpit at Ru.
bush chapel. Mrs. E. Collision. son and
daughter, of Swaney, Greene County.
were visiting relatives in this section
the 18th and 18th. Robt. McCollum. a
dentist, of Newmansville, spent the
night OF the 18th with your scribe.
Mrs. Isaac Dunn, whom we reported
sometime ago as being very sick, is, we
are glad to say, able to be up and about
the house. Miss Alice Dunn is reported
to be on the sick list. Died-the 10Th.
little Niles Vernon, youngest son oil s.
X. and L.. j. Hartman, and the 10Th the
mother peacefully passed away and the
remains were laid side by side in the
new cemetry at Fair View. Mrs. Jas.
Basket and Mrs. George Hale, of Chris
tie, are both seriously sick. There
scenes to be a great deal of sickness
through the country in the way of dis
sentary or bowel trouble among all
ages. Wild strawberries have furnish
ed us a few pies and from the bloom on
the black and dewberry briars we hope
to have some pies from that source in
the future, but as for apples and peaches
all we have is u remem berance to the
past. j. s. Howard, our wool dealer.
representing the Kingsport factory, is
now visiting the farmers and exchang-
ing goods for wool, and from the loads
ne hauls home we think he must have
q fine trade. Kelley Shanks and wife,
OF Hascue, Greene County, spent the
day with your scribe, the 18th. Miss
Matte Thompson, Of New Market, and
widow of the late Josiah Thompson, of
Locust Mt, is now visiting relatives in
this section; she il the guest of E. w.
Ferguson and family. The way it
showed and sleeted the Goth made us
feel like we were sliding back into the
lap of winter; vegetation is checked
and corn turned yellow by the cold wet
spell but we trust it is not seriously
damaged. Political topics are begin
ming to be discussed. right lively, and
our people are well pleased with the
county ticket. Some of our Democratic
friends think that with George Stuart
as an independent they stand a good
chance for the Sheriff but listen; Hickey
will be our next Sheriff from the fact
that the Republican party knows that
Mr.. Stuart in his announcement for
Sheriff declared himself subject to the
decision of the Republican convention,
and when that convention met he sub.
mitted his claim to it as all the others
did and Mr.. Hickey was nominated
over him fairly and squarely and no
true whole souled Republican will
throw away his vote by voting for Mr..
Stuart when he knows that he has no
claim on the Republican party, and
that he is only running to help elect a
Democratic Sheriff. We respect Mr..
Stuart, but we are fiat down on the
course he is now pursuing and would
advise him, If he has any sons, for their
sake and his own also, to look at the
abyss before he leaps and is forever
gone. We are for j. G. Hartman for
magistrate in this end of the Seven
tenth District and j. s. Howard for
school commissioner. A summer school
is in progress at Cherry Grove under
the supervision of Miss Eva Howard.
Our Sunday Schools at Cherry Grove
and Rubbish are progressing nicely with
good attendance at both places. Our
genial friend, DR.. R. ii. Basket, of
Christie, gave us a pleasant call the
23rd. Eva Roller, a young colored girl,
living near Locust Mt, died with dropsy
the 23rd. j. w. Brown, of Butcher
town, has been very much indisposed
the past week. Notwithstanding the
hard times there has been some trans
fer of real estate in this nsigborhood.
Evert Brown sold his fam to Mr..
Horn, of Sullivan County, and then
bought out VIM. Cox and Cox bought
the Ez. Davidson farm, near Morning
Star. Ben White, of Locust Mt, is
preparing to build a new residence.
