Our near neighbor, MI. J. P. Cox,
has recently put a thoroughly equip
ped saw mill on his place, and a new
and larger engine and boiler, which
now enables him to run his gin and
mill at the same time if he wishes.
We learn that Mr. Lon Phillips will
have charge of the saw mill. It will
be a great convenience to the COM
munity, and we wish him success.
After so long a time, Mr. w. II.
Neal started his thrasher yesterday
morning. He has been put to con-
siderable trouble in getting power to
run it. The first engine he had gave

crop in this community has been fed
to stock on account of the difficulty
in getting it thrashed, and the prob
ability of not getting it done at all.

Uncle Ransom Rose and Jno. N.
Andrews. There are just as many
souls to save, but the trouble is in
the church, and it is not confined to
this church alone. Church members
generally take too little interest in
church work.
The best antidote for nodding in
church is to see another fellow nod

produce a snort, and then he will
brush at a fly or arrange his hair and
drop off to sleep, and his hand falls,
