The congregation of New Oakland were
glad to welcome Rev. H. c. Febrey back to
Freedom circuit. He preached at Oakland
last Sunday. The hour for preaching at New
Oakland is IL a. m. and the hour for Sunday
school is 10 a. M until further notice
We are having plenty of rain this month and
the weather has been very stormy also. Hicks
prophecy for April is noticeably true, every
storm being on the date named. Some of the
wells about here have revived. while others
are being dug deeper.
The wet weather has greatly retarded farmers
in their spring work. As yet very few gardens
have been plowed and large amount of corn
ground is to be broken. A few only have
sowed their oats. Clover seed is coming up
finely. Wheat is looking well; the cool, wet
and cloudy weather has caused it to turn yellow
in some places, but as rain has been so
badly needed there is not much complaint as
regards the weather. The fruit crop so far
has not been injured at ALL and indications
point 10 an abundant supply. A large amount
of potatoes are being planted this year.
There are more vacant houses in this vicinity
than there have been for some time. These
are all tenant houses except one, 1t being
farm house.
Oakland Mills have been running constant
ly, in day time, since February l. night work
having ceased at that time. The amount of
goods being turned out or quality of same we
have not been officially advised. We are in
formed that some of the goods are being re-
turned for different causes, which happens
some times to all mills. Fewer hands are
employed than at any time since the mills
have been in operation.
The Liberty pike is undergoing thorough
repairing under the new management; it was
badly needed. We hope soon to see an en-.
tire road built along the pike, which is needed
as much as any place in the state.
The new bank, which is being built at
Sykesville, will be a much needed institution.
1t is to be hoped that in connection with the
national bank saving department will not be
forgotten, as that would benefit more persons
than national bank would.
