I learn that services will be again held at old Gilliam's Ohapel Methodist church. For several years the ehurch has only been standing as a building. Fr^st last week, Sunday 5th, did some damage to young fruit near the ' river and along creeks, principally pears and figs. Horse flies are out already singing love feast songs to the psor brutes and they have a long season before them. I saw an old cock English sparrow hung a few days ago.

Monday morning came in qaite stormy. Bat with all this I guess the season will be long enough to make a crop. There hare been a goodly number of dam men around the put week, and if you see a stranger the first thought is, he come about the big dam orer on the rirer, "The road leading from Sautuc to Jeter's mill has been scraped orer | Perhaps there is writing for contract haqling, and tips if a prepare? pon with 4ft eye single towards it.

Take the weapon awey even if they do not become prepared and must go the other way, I guess most every one will say. I pull off my hat gentlemen to the ladies. Ay, I pitch it on the floor, there it is now, in recognition of the pretty compliments some have paid to this side of the correspondence to Tab Tines Of course I would be a recreant if I had no feeling in my 'bosom to ap7reciate these things, I though I do not wish to appear conspicuous, preaumptious or conoeited, mure I sometimes think I am a sort of nonenity.
