The recent cold snap caused wheat
and winter oats to change color, but
the late rain and warm weather has
again caused both, to a great extent,
to regain their former vigorous and
healthy growth. Quite a number of
our farmers are engaged in blowing
for spring crops, whilst Others are
hauling logs, making rails and doing
general cleaning up and fencing. Mrs.
d.. Hunter, who has been dangerously
i'll with stomach and other troubles, we
are pleased to note, is rapidly conva
lescing. Dave CARRIER is said to be the
happist man in the Fourth, his wife
having presented him a pair Of twins
d few days ago-a boy and girl-weigh'
ing respectively 8 and n pounds. Dave
says whoop 'em up, old woman, darn
the expenses. j. j. Barron has moved
upon the farm recently purchased from
the administrator of G. r. Jones, de-
ceased. Arthur Jones will leave us,
during the holidays, for San Barnar-
dino, CAL, where he will make his
future home. May good luck and pros
perity attend him. John Brown, son
of j. j. Brown, left u few days ago to
try his fortue in the wild and woody
and bourbon State of Arkansas. There
are four post Offices in this district.
Two of them have Republican post
masters and we presume no change
will be made in them, but the other
two will quite likely be succeeded by
Republicans soon after the government
machinery is turned over to the ad-
m%inistration. AS the emoluments of
the offices are insignificant no scram-
BILE Is likely to occur in getting them.
1t is generally understood who have
the inside track for them. Rev. Mr..
Hale, recently elected pastor of the
Cherokee Baptist Church, assisted by
Rev. Cox and others, are holding
series of meetings here, which will
probably result In q revival, although
the devil has a pretty strong footing
here, both inside and outside of the
church, and it will require consider
able effort and force to batter dowr
his ramparts. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that the preachers with theil
helpers, will eventually succeed ant
that much good will result from tn,
meetings. One thing, perhaps, is In
the way and that Is the nea a approach
of the holidays. Our young peopl,
generally are looking forward to {
period of festivity and frivolity, willis
old soaks, of whom we have a few hert
will likely fill up with the vile stuff
which causes a rosy hue, and after
period of ~trivolity and debauchery ont
Is generally on the stool Of repentance
anyway and would be more easily
reached with the forceful and persua

II the meetings had been postponed
until after the holidays, the result
would in all probability have beef

However the present is always tn
