Good morning, Mr.. Editor. as 1t ha,
been about three weeks since "OlC
Joe" has been over to chat with you,
and the many readers of the good old
reliable News, / thought would steE
in, this beautiful Monday morning,
and give you few items from this
section, as / am satisfied there are
several who read the News who are
! proud to hear from this part of old
Marion. / am pIoud to say that as to
| the general health of our people, it is
very good. We have no alarming cas-
es Of sickness now in this section.
Our old friend, Mr.. Sperars, is slight
" improved, and we hope he will
continue to improve until be will be
seen on foot again, though it is hardly
expected that he will ever recover
sufficiently so that he will be able to
come able to stir about. He is still
helpless, and cannot move himself un-
aided, although he can move his left
hand and arm little. 9th herwise his
whole left side is entirely motionless.
Eph Pitman has little girl that has
become peculiarly ailing and he took
her over to DIR. Shelton's to have her
case diagnosed and the doctor pronoun-
Ced it pellegra
Well, our graveyard working was
success Got the graves all done mp
in good shape, had a fine dinner, and
as nice behavior and az pleasant a
time as l ever witnessed at this place.
Everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves, and all went away highly
pleased. After the work in the yard
was fully completed, we took our box
es and baskets which contained the
"viands'', and all with one accord as
sembled under the old, noted elm
shade tree oown at the old Uncle Dan
iel Knox we'll, and there made our
spread, and it was wonderful to be-
hold the good things that appeared.
The good women of our community
certainly did their share in this decor
alton move, and should have full
praise for their part Of the work. At
ter every body had eaten to their fill,
and the fragments, which were in aD-
undance, were taken up, the young
bloods all went up to the church house
and devoted the rest Of the evening in
a splendid song service. The Chapel
choir can certainly sing. Geo. ID.
Lewis was ch horisrer Of the service, and
did we'll. George knows how to sing,
and holds his class strictly to the SCI
entific principles of ruusic. We hope
George will get his class properly
equipped and will be on hand on the
great musical day at Sequachee the
and Sunday in next month, and partic-
ipate in the splendid service that Is
Anticipated for that day. 1t is to be
hoped that every Sunday school in the
county will be represented on that oc
casion with their singers, and take an
active cart in the service. Choristers
of every singing class OF the county,
get your classes ready and De on nano
and let's have joyful day. It's ours,
we have right to it, and let us use
our holy privileges to their fullest ex-
tent.
Well, we'll, If you want to see hap
py man, just spread down table
cloth on the ground, fill it with All
kinds of good edibles and put Bob
Cantrell down by it and say, "Help
yourself, Bob." and you will see one
man that from every indication lie full
of 10Y. Bob was down with all his
family Saturday at the graveyard
working, and they all seemed TO enjoy
the outing.
