The farmers have been very busy
with their fall work, sowing what and
oats and gathering corn. There is q
pretty fair corn crop. They had a corn
husking at Ben. Morrow's last Friday
night, the boys and girls of the neigh
borhood were present and had an en-.
Joyable time. The health of the com.
munity is improving. There has been
q great deal of sore throat or diphthe-
ria. Some few cases were bad, some
of the children had to stop attending
school. The Oakland Church is not
completed yet, hope it will be in the
near future. N. B. Campbell has built
q new house this summer, and it ia ex.
pected that he will take unto himself
a ~housekeeper. Tom Range took unto
himself a helpmate in the person Of
Miss Virgie Ford. Miss Dollie Austin,
OF Germantown concluded to move
her board and washing and be a help
mate for widower in Sullivan county.
Others seem to be matrimonially in
clined, even H. NJ. Sherfey, an old
bachelor of this community, has re-
vived up after taking in the Dunkard
Brethren meeting. J.. B. Duncan our
genial merchant, made a trip to the At.

has been building a house and expects
to move in shortly. If times are hard
some improvements are going ON here.
