ME. EDITOR: How beautifully the
sun shines, how lovely all nature doth
appear. After many long days of rain,
clouds, thunders and lghtningss;
the heavens are again clear, and all
nature calm and serene. The little
birds chirp gaily in the branches, and
every living thing seems to have
caught the inspiration and are lifting
high their heads in one grand and glo-
rious anthem of gladness. No longer
do we sing that old song known by so
many, and which so many have been
humming for the past few days, famll-
iarly known as "Pnsh dem clouds
away,n for the clouds have disappeared
and only the blue vault is above us.
The condition of the crops have not
frightened any since last week, but on
the other hand, the outlook is rather
gloomy. If we do not get several days
Of dry weather good deal of hay and
peayiynes will be ruined. AS for fOd-
der, q lot of it has been entirely lost,
several parties losing rs high as two OF
three thousand bundles, which was
pulled and hanging on the stalk. We
hone. however, that we will have good
weather for the next few days at least.
Little Louva Med Donald, the 7-year-
old child of Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. McDon-
aid. died last Tuesday afternoon, and
her remains were inferred at Generos-
tee the following evening. The fun-
eral service was conducted by Rev. j:
V. Black, who in a very solemn and
impressive manner, endeavOred to
soothe the sorrow and anguish OF the
grief stricken family. The bereaved
family may rest assured that the SYM
pathy of the whole community is with
them in this hour of sore bereavement.
News has reached us of the sad
deaths of Mrs. Geo. Evans and of Mrs.
Jas. McAlister. For some time past
these two ladies have been suffering Il
great deal, but their relatives and
friends entertained hope Of their re-
coyery until very short while before
they died. But alas, when the angel of
death comes down and claims one OF
us, how useless it is to hope; there Is
nothing left to do but submit with an
unfaltering trust in Him who doeth all
things well. The families of the de.
ceased have the sympathy of the entire
community in this trying day OF atfilc-
ton.
Miss Mary Teasley, who has been

Miss Hanora Cuddy, who has been

Corner another visit in the near future.

Miss Sa]lie Sherard entertained a few
of her friends last Tuesday night with
an elegant tea. Miss Sallie, in her
usual way, displayed that kindness and
hospitality for which she is so well
known. After tea the time was spent
in merry testing and in Offering toasts
to the kind hosts and hostess, who re-
sponded in most graceful manner.
All present seemed to have had a most
enjoyable time, and at o remote hour
the merry guests, after bidding "gut
nacht" to the genial hostess, disbanded
and repaired each to their respective
homes.
Mr.. Luther E. Bowie, one of our most
progressive young farmers, has recently

There will be no preaching at Gener-
