of that town on the subject — and se e

As I sat reflecting over the future
this morning, and having nothing (
particularly to do, I thought there was
no better way to pass oil' the living
moments with something that was of
some benefit to the human race, than
to let them hear what this part of the
county is doing. We are having
some rain, although slight; but it is
badly needed in these parts oftlie “dig-
gings. M General news is still as scarce
as hens teeth. We were happy to
meet our old time friend S. W. Slurfy |

taxes. There is not much sickness in
this part of the country. A child of
