John Watson has recently moved
to Kentucky.
Tho rain this week has wet the
ground thoroughly, which will in
sure a largo crop of corn in this lo
cality.
The protracted meeting at Pleas
ant Hill will embrace the first Sun
day in September., All are invited
to take part.
Felix Wright, who left hero a fow
days ago to reside in Kentucky, has
returned, and we can't boo that ho
has changed much in looks.
S. C. Madrey is making consid
erable improvements on tho farm
he purchased of Frances Greer re
cently. We need a few more far
mers like Mr. Madrey.
Rov. Mr. Bushardt closed a ce
ries of meetings here Sunday. The
meeting was well attended and re
suited in one conversion. Sunday
afternoon throe were baptised a
tha river and the Dry Creek Church
was organized. Mr. Bushardt was
elected pastor, and will preach here
the first Sunday in each month a
11.00 a. in.
As wo write we get warning to
work the road three days this week,
Some people (boyond tho confines
of this district) may conclude tha
this is just-to finish getting in our
"time," but such is not the case.
is the first time the overseer has
, warned the hands to work this road.
While it is regretted, it is a fact,
however, that no effort is made in
this district to make good roads;
the overseers and hands endeavor
only to get in their "time" and thus
escape tho grand jury. . As a result
public roads in this district are al
most impassable with anything
larger than a wheelborrow. How
is this to bo remedied? There is
only ono way, and that is to see that
the law i3 enforced not by mpre
legislation, but by an application
of the laws that we have.
It is well enough to know some
times that you don't know anything.
We are proud of tho fact, however,
that we know that tho Liberty cor
respondent has not enlightened us
further on the subject of tho Cu
ban war in his two last letters, and
wo also observe that his talk (not
argument) has become stale and ob
solete in the minds of your reader?.

reflects on the judgement of Uncle
Sam, who, from present indications,
will soon be forced to shake off a

don't want to criticise the Govern
