Ed. Register-The weather having
been very favorable for the past ter
days, farmers in this locality have been
very busily engaged. Most all are
done planting corn, while few have
their corn plowed over. Wheat, oats,
and rye look unusually well.
Mrs. James Goggin, who has been
confined to her bed for the past three
weeks, is convalescing.
Giles Mcmahon, St. Louis, visited
home folks several days not long ago,
returning to St. Louis on the 8th inst.
DR.. Misick, of Doniphan. made a
professional visit to this locality not
long ago, and while here put in set
of teeth for Mrs. J. NJ. Latham. l am
informed TINT he extracted teeth for
quite number of persons, and will
return again in August to fit them up
with up-to-date teeth.
Saturday and Sunday last was the
regular appointment for meeting at
White Oak Grove. but owing to sick
ness in Rev. Clements family, there
was no preaching on Saturday at II
o'clock A. NJ. Rev. Calvert, Belleview.
came in time to preach at night, how
ever, and on Sunday Rev. Clements
put in his appearance, and preached
at II o'clock a. NJ.
Prof. a. j. Miner. of Black, Mo-,
has a class here in vocal music, and
gives a lesson at o'clock A. N. and
. o'clock P. VI. each Sunday. While
the class is not large, there is a lively
interest, and each pupil is improving
rapidly. 4. J. NJ. is a good instructor
in vocal music. and is able to give fair
instruction in instrumental music.
While travelling through a consider
able portion of Reynolds county dur
ing the past three weeks. l noticed
that the farmers are pretty well up
with their farm work. Wheat general
~ looks fairly well. T. D. Shy has
the finest piece of wheat that l haYe
seen as yet.
On Saturday last, while in Reynolds
county. took dinner with Mr. Sam
Chilcote who lives on Big Brushy. Mr..
c. is an enterprising farmer, and is
making a success at farming.
What change for the better ten
years time has wrought On Brushy!
The locality known as the webb set
Element now has neat dwelling houses,
with farms in a fine state of improve
ment. Five years ago that locality had
no church house, and meetings were
then held in the school house. To-day
there may be seen, not far from the
old school house, a neat church house,
nicely painted. which not only adds
very materially to the looks, but to the
convenience of that locality.
On Sunday afternoon last the follow
ing named persons visited US: Mr.. and
Mrs. Nelson Stricklin, r. G. Love,
Prof. A. j. Minor. Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ.

Mr.. Nealy. of near Belgrade, visited
Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. Latham this week.
Mr.. Shipp. our roadoverseer, has
done some very good work on the
roads.
The ubiquitous Candidate may now
be seen among US. We don't usually
take much interest in politics, but
want to see H. Latham get the nomina-
ton for Judge of the Western District.
The man who beats him out here, will
have to ssget move on himself, truly.
