After three weeks of the most dis
agreeable weather (snow, sleet, rain,
mud and slush) we ever experienced
in February, it is now (7:3O P. M. Sun
day raining and freezing as it falls,
with every indication that another
blizzard is coming. o! "Gentle ANNIE"
when wilt thou come to stay?
Raymond Johnston left here Satur-
day for st. Louis, where he will find
employment.
Mrs. Daisy D. Edmonds was in
Ironton Friday.
Alta recent meeting of the Farmers
Mutual Telephone stockholders in the
Masonic Hall here, T. E. Wallen was
re- elected President for the ensuing
year; Mr.. Sam Bond, Vice President,
and Mr.. Charley Cox, Secretary. A
good selection, indeed.
Miss Minnie Patterson visited Mrs.
Daisy D.. Edmonds Saturday after
noon.
Having business in Ironton the writ
er made a trip there Saturday, going
as your Correspondent at Annapolis
said last week, on "No. g." 1t had
been our aim to go out to Middlebrook
and catch No. %, which arrives there
about 1880, but when we reached
Graniteville and found it was not yet
8 o'clock, we reasoned thus: Now,
we can make the distance to Middle
brook by 10 O'Clock, then will have to
await one and a half hours for the
train, if it is on time, which would be
at least two and three quarter hours
before we can reach Ironton. Hence
we changed our base and resumed our
line of march on "No.2," reaching
Ironton forty minutes in advance of
No. %. We found many people in
Ironton bubbling over with enthusiasm
concerning the Burke Hobbs revival
meetings, then in progress in Ironton.
We we're informed that at least one
hundred persons had been converted
during this revival, and a number of
others (Christians) very much re-
iuvenated, religiously. Well, let the
good work go on. We met our good
friend, Albert Conway, of Munger,
while in Ironton, and was pleased to
learn that he is getting along nicely.
He informed us that there is a great
deal of sickness in the vicinity of
Munger.
Messrs. E. M. Logan, o. Campbell,
and Joe McColl spent last week in st,
Louis, presumably to buy a stock OF
dry goods for their store here. 1t is
reported that they (McColl and Camp
belly will put in a $4,000 stock of goods
in the store house recently vacated
by D. Lasater. AS they are both hon
est, industrious men, we predict fol
them a prosperous business.
1t is reported that Mr.. Alcorn will
remove here in the near future, pu
up a new store building, and engage
in the mercantile business.
On Friday morning last, the deaC
body of Mr.. DeWyatt, whose home |
between Buford Mountain and Bis
marck, wal found within a distance o
1 mile from his home, where il had lail
since Wednesday night before. Will
returning home from Flat River Wed
nesday, he reached Bismarck abou
, night and started from there to home
about four miles from Bismarck. H
was driving a team OF horses, one o
which it is said was very fractions, +
a hack, or spring wagon. In crossinI
a small stream Of water, about a mil

| team, in attempting to jump tn
ravine, which was not more than fou
/ or FIVE feet wide, made such a sudde
stop as to throw him out OF the Wagon
} thus rendering him semi unconsciout
+. His tracks could be seen indicating
that he had walk ed around, mostly !
a circle, before he Jay down to di
