didn't know that Chips was travelling

Chips, tho FREQ right and privilege to

over you go out to hunt you II frau, be

| Rev. j. a. Sigh mado All cxplana-
tiOn to his congregation ut ST. Puul's
last Sunday In regard to Il false rumor
which he snid vas being circulated
about him concerning the death OF his
Aunt Lizzie Hunter. Mr.. Sigh said
that the talk was going (Which was
very mortifying TO him indecdD that he
had sent his son after Mrs. Hunter on
Sunday, taking the Lords day to trans
act worldly matters. He said that this
was absolutely false; that he had start
ed his son after Mrs. Hunter on Sutur-
day about o'clock, instructing him to
come back the same evening. But
when the boy found Mrs. Hunter she
was In charge OF one Of her daughters
children, and couldn't leave until Sun
day morning. And other rumors said
that he had sent Il mule which he knew
to be n runaway mule. Mr.. Sigh said
that while the mule had shown signs
OF running away yet it had mover ran
away to his knowledge with buggy,
and that he had trusted his own daugh-
cor behind the ."ule, and would have
trusted his wife. This statement ]
make, not that l was requested to dc
80, but simply to rectify wrong i'm
preston. Mr.. Sligh's feelings seem
to be very much grievcd ovor the death
of his Aunt Lizzie Hunter, and think
1t very wrong to heap one trouble upon
another.
Wo gave a note OF the heavy rains
that fell last week. This was written
on Monday morning with tho intention
OF ofgetting our communication off to press
for Tuesdays issue; but as we failed
in getting it of until to-day tTucsday),
we will note the Mondays rain About
one o'clock Monday evening fearful
cloud passed over this section and the
rain poured down In torrents, for little
moro than an hour. The creeks, which
have mentioned, was spread from
hill to hill. ! have been unable to
learn Of al the damage donc but OBJ
servatiOn shows that some bridges have
, been damaged, and small ones washed
away and some crosswnys torn out
Hill-side bitches we're broken and
fields washed to Il considerable extent.
The weather still looks : .eatcning
and more rain 10 still expected which
will throw the farmers considerably
behind with their farm work.
