Weather the coldest we have so far experienced for this winter.
Our Station Agent, keeps his head tightly bandaged and gets as mad as a hornet when any one says "Ears," and mentions last Sunday as an extremely cold day. "O dear what can the matter be."...
The R. R. Co. has seen fit to change Agents at Melvin, Mr. Thompson not being an operator, and they intending to make that place a telegraph station, a change was necessary.
Geo. H. Thompson, of the firm "Thompson & Lyman," has the appointment as Postmaster at this place, this is a good appointment and gives almost universal satisfaction.
The Revival Meetings noticed in our last, have at last been discontinued. Much good as been done. It is the intention of the Pastor to commence a series of meetings in the Grand Prairie school house.
Why is it that we see so many Peach Orchard's farmers hauling their corn to our station and doing their trading at our town? We wondered at this, and so we inquired, and this was what they told us. We can get more for our corn at Johnson & Meserve's than we can in Melvin, and then we can get more for our money here. So!
Considerable Real Estate is changing hands in our vicinity at rather low prices.
Christopher Anderson, one of our citizens, has taken a journey to Scotland. It appears that Mr. Anderson was at one time manager of a R. R. office in that county, and that company now wishes his proof to their books in an important case, and so gives him $25 per day and expenses of journey.
Hon. C. H. Frew passed through town, on the up passenger, on Saturday last.
A Farmer's Club is making its appearance in our part of the county.
Seven emigrant wagons passed through town one day last week, bound further south.
And still they marry: Geo. Barnhart was the lucky man, to Miss Amelia Smith, all of this town.
