Mr. Editor, not having
seen any thing from this
neighborhood since the dis
cussion between Mr. Ilartly
and Miller, 1 eon; luded that
1 would dot a few items, for
publication (if this does not
lind its way to that miserable
waste basket of yours.) We
are having rain and mud
plenty; although it rains it
does not retard the hauling
of cabbage but little. The
people it seems haul cabbage
from a sense of duty they
owe to the Lenoirites, Hick
oryitea, Newtonites, or just
any other ites, where they
enn sell, or half sell, the pro
duction of their last year's
hard labor. Surely the peo
ple of Watauga could afford
to help a little to build a
Kail Road through the coun
ty, as easy and with much
better grace than they can
help to pay off the Morton
bank. "This Mr. Editor is
a question it seems the peo
ple se1 tied in Nov. last, but
how they feel now, or may in
the not far off future, is
something that I cannot tell,
all 1 can do, is to abide my
time in patience and see the
answer.
Christmas has begun a lit

Spring Church closed a series
ot meeting yesteriJay with
favorable results; the min
isters in attendance were
II. vs. W. T. Kultfht, -I. M.
l'iiyne, .lohn Norris and
James I'liillips. There were
tm additions to w church
I by letter and (J by exjeri
ence. Amon the latter wen
J. K. (irec-Tie and his son Mc.
(iivene, also John Hartley
son of J. M. Hurl ley who
were made happy in a savior's
pardoning race. Never was
a comimuii!y nure rejoiced
than this at. the conveision
of the above named three.
They wereood kind oblhrinj;"
nei;vhl:ors before their con
version and now we have
reasons to b.?lieve that they
will make rood soldiers in
the army of the Lord. The
church appeared to enjoy u
revival of their religion (lur
ing the meeting which lasted
about (lor S days, when it
closed there was several ien
itents still mourning a Sa
viors love to" know. May
they never give up to the
wicked one who strives to de
coy their poor souls. I would
aa.v in conclusion mourn on
"lilessed are they that mourn
for they shall be comforted.
