badly treated in that you came so near,
and visited her not. She has pasted
your recipes in her scrap cook book,
and eagerly awaits another.
The frost has not done great harm eX-
cept to the potatoes in the lOw-lands.
Considering the severe drought the
potato crop is tolerably good. 1t is
rather mystery that they grew at all.
The friends Of Mrs. Rebecca Amis
sympathise with her in the death of her

Mr.. Written Duncan on his way to
Conference from his field of work in
Mississippi, stopped over with Cul-
leoka friends few days. Popular with
his firm, Phillips IL Buttorff, popular
with the older people, and popular with
all the ladies-he has good time at all
times and places. vi.
Every one regrets that our genial
friend, ALI Fleming, still fingers under
the power Of spell of fever, and hopes
he will soon be well enough to resume
! his visits to our village.
Just now the health of the immediate
community is almost perfect A few
| people are suffering some incon-
venience with sore eyes, but nothing
more serious.
Mrs. H. b. King and children, of
Lewisburg, came down recently for a
! little visit to relatives.
Mr.. w. B. Turner was the interesting
orator of the evening at the meeting of
the Bryan-Sewall club last Thursday
night. The president in his compli-
mentary introduction, announced MIR.
Turner as "a coming Bryan"
Culleoka won't quite have the right to
say she has had "a wedding" but still
we feel Culleoka will have the biggest
part of the affair. Mr. Gresham has
recently become one Of our townsmen
and has by his gentlemanly bearing
and industry commanded the respect
and friendship of the people. All wish
him greatest happiness in his marriage
tonight to Miss Mamie Rea of Column
bia. On Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Gresh-
am will come to Culleoka, where they
will keep house in suite of rooms
fitted up by the groom at Mr.. Fayette
! Wilkes house. A cordial welcome is
extended to them, and we hope they
may soon learn to love their new home.
+ News has just reached us that Rev.
Samuel +. Wynn is to be married to-
day. Rev. Wynn was pupil mere at
the Academy, and since an occasional
visitor in our village. He is now a
member of the Memphis Conference,
and marries worthy young lady on
his work, but we have not learned her
name. We certainly wish our old
school friend every joy.
Pupil of the Culleoka Academy! o,
| how many hundreds-yea, thousands
are justly proud of having been a pupil
| there! Great men in every vocation of
life, women of every noble trait and
mbition, have gone out from her halls
ready equipped for life's battle. The
famous Webb School was built up there,
as was the no less popular Wall q
MONEYS School. Her honors must
ever be past hOnors-her glories past
glories; her number of pupils will never

stroyed by fire, caused by a defective
flue. The fire had full Roadway before
being discovered even by the teacher
and pupils, and, in the absence of any
water supply, only the desks, part OF
the benches, and a few windows could
be saved from the flames. We, with
thousands of others, loYed the old
building and its myriads of memories,
| THESE old memories still VIII linger
with us, and with them will be cher
ished the image of our old "school-
| house." which has too become but a
memory. We are informed that there
is an insurance of $1,000, but did not
learn just what the managers of the
property intend to do. Mr.. Graham will
procure room somewhere, and there
carry on his work until other arrange
ments are made. One by one Culleo-
ka's best houses are being burned, but
none has brought more regret than the
last, nor more loss to the town.
