Our farmers are complaining of
their wheat failing to come mn.
though In many places the fields are
green aud looking fine.
Rabbits were never before more
plentiful and our young are making
plenty of pocket change these cool
frosty mornings. O'possums and
coons are no rarely among us, as
each morning brings the news of
some neighbor having shot or caught
one or the other of these the night
before. Some colored men have
canghta number of muskrats, and
there seems no slack in the business
now.
Wild turkeys, all! what a reminder
OF the happy Xmas days, are seen in
large hocks often and now and then
some good old friend has the good
fortune of killing one. Several have
been killed around US and Hon. G.
ID. Walker, while visiting his father
IN Westmoreland, killed two. Birds
are plentiful, but good settlers are
scarce with us, SO very few have been
killed.
Hon. L. Il. Smith seems to find
no relief and was in Baltimore and
Washington last week consulting the
best of doctors. They seem to think
his trouble comes from a complica-
ton in the ear. He is troubled with
vertigo and believes the root of his
affliction has been found. His trouble
is not considered dangerous but it is
the forerunner of so many things
worse that no precaution is too dear
to be taken.
Miss Bessie Adams, one of the
prettiest and most popular young
ladies of our neighborhood, is at

She was one of Miss EVELYN
Halls bridesmaids on last Wednes-
day week, and managed In some WV
