one accord rejoice that we have landed

though we may still expect rough wealth.
er and severe storms, the beautiful spring
weather is sure to come soon. 1t must
seem very strange to the range horses,
which have had TO paw the hard crust
OF deep snow and ice oil winter for their
living, to now so suddenly have the
grass show up 10 abundance all around

been very fortunate in having plentiful
supply Of hay for the longest winter that

1t is of flrst-clsss quality, too. -. Very
high water was feared by all the people
Of this valley; but. a. there has been no
rain to speak of, the greater part OF the
snow has gone OF gradually. A. there
was but little frost IN the ground when
the first snow fell. the water has been
absorbed by the soil, and there has been

ANDREWS.

ANDREWS, April N.-Many have been
the changes and scenes since last we
wrote letter for the HERALD. Many
homes have been the scenes of mourn
ing in this community, and it seems
that the fatality Of diseases was greater
everywhere the past few months than
usual.
We learn through sister that Mrs.
Joe Braden is slowly wasting away al
her home in Pulaski. We remember
her as a lovely schoolgirl at Ingleside
Academy, over twenty years ago. She
has been deeply grieved, too, because OF
the death of her only sister, Mrs. Ew-
ing, of Lewisburg, and her mother
Mrs. DIR. johnson, of Lynnvllle, since
the birds began to sing.
Our hearts go out in sympathy for the
aged mother and sister of Miss Jennie
Jordan. Dear, good Jennie! She was
such a lovable girl, whom none knew
but TO admire.
We appreciate the kindness of
"Tramp, ""Olivia" and Raven Locks
for remembering us.
Mr.. w. f. Scott and daughter Miss
Sadie are on the sick list this week.
Mr.. Thomas, with his two sons and
their wives, moved into the old Smith
residence on the 18th of this month
from Illinois, and now has more corn
planted than many who have lived here
much longer. He brought his stock
and farming implements with him. Mr.
Thomas lived here several years age
and knew where he was coming wher
he left his old home.
