Prof. Baine, the Well known sing
ing master, came in town 1t few
DAYS ago. He taught class here
some years ago and gave splendid
satisfaction. He is regarded in
. this community not only as a mas

gentleman.
s. 4. Sachs, of wc-dOn't-knoW-where,
who opened a stock of clothing and
notions in the Severance store
about two weeks ago, must have
either made Il fortune extremely
rapidly or decided with eXtcaordi-
nary haste that he WAS III n fair
way to lose what little capital he
had; for Il few days ago he quietly
folded his tent (nailed the cover on
the box) and silently stole away.

The meeting of days at the Bap-
tist church has not closed at this

interesting and, so far as human
intelligence can discern, much good

labored zealously for his Masters
cau>c. Four candidates f0r bap-
tiSm await this ceremony.
S. NJ. Askins' dwelling s ABOUT
completed. everything is finished
except the painting and that il be-
ing pushed rapidly. The whole
house has been renovated, changed.
and repaired. The main addition
is the front wing, piazza and octag-
onal veranda. These materially
alter and vastly improve the whole
appearance of the building. The
job was accomplished by NJ. r. j.,
Gillian, and we say without fear
nf cont addiction that the work he
did upon this house is the very best
work to he found in this town or
community. A critical eNamina-
ton will demonstrate the fact that
nn is first class workman, Il mas
r"r of his trade, an honest carpcn-
Ter, who does credit to himself and
deals Justly with his employer. We
hope he will make his home with
Us and will Go Well at his trade.
