The M. E. church, south, has anice build- ing completed, and the Cumberland Presbyterians have laid the founda- tion for a new church, which will be completed in about two months. Messrs. Odneal and J J Radford are | the principal dry goods and grocery merchants in the town and are doing a good business. Doctor J R Colson is the only phy- sician located in the town. The doc- tor complaips of the health of that section of the country being so good that he can searely resist an attack of spring fever. He has sold his stock of drugs to Peacock & Colson of Spruce. C Cox is the harness maker and has a nice little ctock on hand, and he being a cripple deserves the patron- age of that vicinity. J ©M Young, a former merchant of Spruce, is preparing to farm on a large seale this season. W Rand J V Snodgrass are among the foremost farmers in this portion of the county, and are generally suc- cessful in @ll their undertakings. R D Ewin has rented the farm of Geo. Wbery and is busy plowing. He says owing to his not being mar- ried, and such a busy time of the year he only washes dishes twice a week. Unele Silas Fisherisa jolly old gen- tleman. He ispreparing to cultivate his farm more extensively this season than ever. BG Logan, who has been absent from Deepwater township for a few years, has moved back again and he received a cordial welcome. Uneles C. B. Slayback and Joseph Kimble, who are able to retire to the shades of private life, are still active- ly engaged in farming this year. The citizens of Spruce and vicinity commend the merchants of Butler | highly for their liberal subscriptions for theirchurches here. Jas. R. Simpson is one of Spruce | township's suecessful farmers. He showed your correspondent a pair of tine young mules he had just broke to work. Jim says he has to keep an | eye on them from behind. He hasn't | decided which can strike the hardest blow, the mules or Corbett. The farmers are very busy, and ooking ahead to a good crop. *4* Summit Items. Weather continues favorable for gardening and farm work generally. We see some pieces of oats begin- ning to show up, and yet some are) not done sowing. The fruit crop will be abundant, except peaches which will not be a large crop, most of the buds having been killed through the winter. One addition to the church at the chapel Sunday evening. Surely good is being accomplished by | Elder Webb’s zealous work. Skeptics and unbelievers are made to wince under his arguments. Messrs. Harry Long and Henry | Smiser were inducted into the office | of deacons Sunday evening. How was it that no one in Butler Saturday knew of that convention, ie have been kept rather quiet. J'T Moore says he’s not in a hole yet. He sold his hogs and cattle Sat- | urday to Peter Kegeries; hogs at 3:90 cattle @ 2:80 so we understood. Now John such as this may not put you in | a hole, though we think it would} put a man’s running gear out of bal- anee; would almost. produce indiges- tion if the dose was large.

Things are moving along nicely in these parts owing to the nice weather and the untiring energy of our farm- ers. A great amount of oats have been sown, and every year sees more land sown to timothy, the sale of which amounts to hundreds of tons already. We have not heard of anyone as yet sowing flax. A large proportion of the land to be put in corn has al- ready been plowed and if indications amount to anything this will be an early spring, w ith farmers out for the “early worm.’ We understand that the fine cattle fed by John W. Gilbreath, forty in number, were sold to Valincourt Griggs for $2,600. It wasa very fine bunch and further evidences the ability of Mr. Gilbreath as a feeder. Cupid has been making some stray shots around. One of which struck, and with fatal effect, Frank H. Diehi Jr., son of F. H. Diehl Sr.. a wealthy farmer of this community, which cul- minated in his marriage to Miss Anna Pontus, a worthy young lady. We hope they may have their full quota of happiness. Last week witnessed a meeting of divines and delegates at New Pros- pect church. Of course our people were equal to the occasion in the way of entertaining them. The Reynard school and literary closed last Friday night witha splen- did entertainment. Something under ten thousand people were present. The recitation of Miss Minnie Brown- ing was the capital event of the eve- ning and was rendered in astyle that indicated her quite a master of elocu- tion. Prominent among the visitors was the able editor of the Appleton City Star, Mr. A. L. Harding.
