Dear Recorder:
A few lines from this part OF our
county may be of interest to some
of the many readers of the Recorder
The people of this neighborhood
with a few exceptions, have been
blessed with unusually good health
during this very severe winter.
The snow, which spread its white
mantle over the earth many weeks
ago, has about disappeared, and all
who have stock to feed are anxious
to see the first signs of spring-time,
with the warm sunshine and show
ers.
Preparation for the sugar season
is now in order, but the prospects
now for a good season are rather
gloomy.
D. R. Cobb and family expects
to move to Alexandria, Va, IN a
few weeks; we are sorry to lose
such good and kind neighbors.
We are glad to see Mr.. "Dick'
Shumate, of W. Va, in our midst.
The people of western Highland
and of other sections should con-
graduate themselves upon the fact
that Mr.. J. W. Hevener's fine flour
mill has resumed operations again,
which will be great convenience
to our people generally, and we
trust that it will prove to be a pay
ing venture for the proprietor, Mr..
J. w. Hevener of Hightown, who
deserves the good wishes and full
patronage of all our citizens for his
energy and perseverance in pushing
his mill work to completion during
the coolest winter in many years.
Mr.. Hevener, through deal made
with the Salem Foundry and Ma
chine Works, Co.. exchanged the
machinery formerly operated in
his mill for more modern and up
to-date machinery, which, under
tile supervision and skillful work of
an expert mill-wright, Mr.. O. M.
Paynter, with the valuable assls-
lance of Messrs. Shumate, Faurote
and Gum, is now in its place and
in fine running order, and we think
that every one engaged in the splen-
did and attractive work accom-
plished under such trying condi-
tions of SHOW and piercing cold de-
serve to be commended for their
energy.
Such enterprises, Mr.. Editor. as
the one mentioned should be an In
sriration to farmers, and an in
ducement to them to put forth
greater efforts to raise more wheat,
corn and other valuable grains, and
thus close the channel by which so
many thousands of dollars have
gone out from our people within
the last few years for flour and
mill-feed, and at the same time it
would to be mutual beneftto the
farmers and to the mill owners.
Best wishes for the Recorder and
its readers. Observer
