Born unto Mr. and Mrs. Rufe
Bradley on Feb. 8, girl;guess Rufe
is smiling now days as he has little
girl and his school teacher gone.
Everything is progressing nice in
our settlement except our school,
the very thing that ought to be
going on nice. Our teacher quit, poor
girl am sorry for her. 1t was not
her fault altogether, but of course
some will pack it off on her. Some
folks can always see others faults and

not their own. | think if we will all
look at old self little more than we
do we would get along better, but
the writer hopes for another school
soon.
Alex Ball says he hates that the
teacher left as he was learning fast,
especially bookkeeping.
Mr.. Will Pipkins moved Monday
to A. H. Harrison S old place close
to c. H. Dunnam's mill, as be is 90
ing to work there.
Milton Lyles went to Cedar Grove
Sunday to Prayer-meeting.
Silas Brewer and Alex Ball expect
to make some yams this year, from
the new ground they are taking in.
The little girl of Alex Balls VIII ch
was very ST k with appendicitis
some few weeks ago, is at present
well or seems to be. Alex and wife
carried her to Mobile to DR.. Gavin,
who said nothing would cure but an
operation. Mrs. Ball would not agree
to that, and they carried her to Bay
Minette to DR.. Campbell. She has
never complained with her side any
since she took the third treatment
from Campbell, so Alex and wife
says so far they are not sorry they
carried her to Campbell.
Guess | have written enough. With
best wishes to Herald and Editor.

collected by Teisserence de Fort, the
French investigator, in his observa

argon, neon and helium. The collect
ing apparatus vacuum tube drawn
out to a fine point at one end-was
carried up by a large sounding bal.
loon. At the desired height an cleo.
tromagnetic device operated by a
barometer broke off the point admit.

a second contact sent a battery eur.
rent through a platinum wire. around
the broken end, melting the glass and
sealing the tube. All samples thus
obtained show argon and neon, no
