AS il has been quite a while since
this community has been represented
through the News columns, thought
| would step over and inform the read
ers that we were not all dead but kind
of sleeping.
The health of this community is
reasonably good. There is no one Sc
riously sick that we know Of, but all
are living and enjoying life the best
we can.
Bro Scott failed to reach his APP
pointment here Sunday evening. Sup
pose il was on account of sickness in
his family. We were told that he had
very sick child, of which we were
very sorry to hear.
George H. Lewis has moved back in
our settlement again. He has purchas-
ed the Lee Burklin place, and is now
occupying it.
Old Uncle Sile McNabb, who recent
" purchased the Lewis place, is max
ing some very substantial and much
needed improvements in the way of
ditching and clearing and cleaning up.
He is talking a little about moving
over to his place, and we are very an
xious for him to come as Uncle Silas
is lust the kind of man we need in
our community.
Prof. Thomas is getting along very
nicely with his school. Mr.. Thomas
is showing himself to be verv eff
cient teacher and does mosG assuredly
deserve the assistance and praise of
the patrons of his school as he evident
lx- t. ma =
aspiring to much higher ideals than
the majority of young men and boys,
who have had better advantages than
Mr. Thomas has had. We certainly do
appreciate his resolutions.
Am sorry to say that our Sunday
school is just about faded. y
Prof Thomas is talking up and is
very anxious for singing school at
this place. He seems to be very anx-
ious to learn how to sing, and we are
very hopeful that he wAl accomplish
his intentions, as there is nothing that
will place a young man higher in soci-
ETY., that will elevate him higher in
the estimations of the good people of
the land than to be good singer.

We would say to T. S. B., of Grape
vine, Texas, that we want letter a
month at any rate from Grapevine.

Mr. Editor, we have got our hard
sought-for bridge. We have got good
bridge, nice bridge and a convenient
bridge, the best bridge in Marion
county. but alas no road, no way to
get to it. What shame just can t
tell to save me what has got into our
workingmen of this community. Our
county has gone ahead and spent over
| 81, 600 for our benefit, for our advan-
tages, and now we won't fix a way SO
those good, obliging J. P.'s can cross
on the bridge. We Just say to those
good friends of ours, if you want to
get to the other side you must wade
over or go to some other bridge to
cross, you can't cross on ours.
