Miss Alice Boone, the lady we spoke
of few weeks ago, as ing i'll, is now
able 20 be up, and hopes are entertain
ed of her recovery.
William Hoffman and wife, of
Woodsb1ro' were the guests of Sole

ID. o. Metz and wife spent Saturday

Mr.. Wesley Fogle aud Thos. Boone

houses now in progress in our town.
They, with considerable other improve

and worth of our town
Miss Anna Barbara Grabill, q lady
of nearly 55 years OF age, who hos
lived in this district all her life, is now
at the point of death with cancer,
which has troubled her for years, and
from which she is now bleeding very
much.
We still have some diphtheria, but SO
far as we know, only one family is i'll,
that of Mr.. Grossnickle, an undertaken
living about one mile from here. One
Child, about nine years of aye, had
nearly recovered from the disease,
when the little fellow took cold, which
resulted in relapse, and he is now Sc
riously i'll again. One of the larger
children is also sick with the same dis
ease.
We nearly forgot to mention the cal
endar you sent Us, which is certainly
the best we have ever seen. We shall
show it, along witn the CITIZEN, to
our friends, thinking they cannot help
being induced to subscribe Many
| thanks for the same. 1t now occupies
a conspicuous place in our home
| To give an idea of the business done
in louisville, we would call Your at
teutiOn to the amount sold by one of
Mr.. 5. b. Furry's clerks, Samuel Gar
| Der, during the four weeks including
the holidays, which was 81 900 worth
! Mr.. Haugh, another clerk sold nearly
the same amount during the four
weeks. Some three or four other clerks
were employed at the time, but none
of the others sold quite that amount.
William Nj. Sargeaut, the other mer-
chant, sold considerable. also. Mr..
! Furry, the merchant above referred to,
expects to enlarge his store building
! this summer.
The Mountain View Debating So
ciety, now held weekly, is becoming
an interesting and profitable affair.
Your correspondent visited it on Fri
day night last, when the question de-
bated was: "Resolved tnat the mind of
Woman is superior to that of Man. !"
The judges decided in favor of the neg
ative. The question for Friday night
last, Resolved, that War has been II
! greater curse to Man than Intemper-
ance. was ably discussed ID. o. Metz
principal Of our school, spoke on The
side of the affirmative. The judges,
Winfield Riuehart, Solomon Long
necker aud Scott Maynard decided the
question in favor of the Affirmative.
Just as the people were leaving the
house, from tine debate last referred To,
two young men on horseback dashed
in among "a crowd Of persons walking,
Knocking one down. The unforIu-
nate one was Thomas Metz, young
man living here. He dId II, tsee The horse
until struck 10y 1t. He was thrown
about twelve t-et forward; the horse
struck him again fore he could rise,
b'undrred over him aud kicked him.
But with all. which is almost mira
Gle, he only received few tiesn bruises,
from which he has nearly recovered.
