TANNER of Rockport is in our town this week. ----- people of town ---- have --- an entertainment ---- Sunday Quarterly court opened up last Monday with a large docket, It is moving along very nicely with its work. Owing to the lack of space we failed to insert the resolutions sent in by the Farmer's Alliance of Little Muddy. We do not know who was in town last Monday as we were not here, but learned that a good crowd was here. L. W. MCINTYRE is erecting a photograph gallery near the Farmer's House and will soon be ready to do your photographing.

C. COHRON of that awful disease consumption, after several days of suffering. DR. COHRON was about 46 years old, He was a faithful and true member of the Methodist church, having been an earnest worker in that church for many years. When the dark and cruel days of war put its appearance DR COHRON was one of the brave boys that went to his country's rescue. Although quite young still be wincingly faced the enemy until the struggle was over. Returning from the battle field he commenced the study of medicine and entered the ---- as a physician in 1878, and continued to practiced his profession until the monster death claimed him as his. When called upon to visit the sick he would always go in many cases where a cent was not in sight for him. DR COHRON was a good Christian gentleman and will be greatly missed in his community especially by the poor class of people, REV. SUMMERS preached his funeral to a large number of relatives and friends. He was buried at the old family burying ground at UNCLE NEWTON ORANGE'S in the presence of hundreds of sorrowing friends. DR COHORON leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his departure together with a host of others who will miss him as a physician a friend and as a true noble Christian worker. He was particularly fond of his children and always expressed himself as wanting to live to see them grow to be men and women, but he said it was the Lord's will he was ready and willing to surrender to his command. His last words were "I am prepared to die, It is such a great relief to know that I am a Christian." I hope we all will meet him where there are no sorrows and d isappointments, Very truly A. H. TUCK. Morgantown March 17, 1891. An incident of the war. The following incident was related by DR. MOREHEAD during the delivery of his sermon last Sunday night; After the battle of Gettysburg a lieutenant was assisting in caring for the dead and wounded when he found a beardless young man scarcely old enough to serve in the army, who was mortally wounded. The kind hearted officer inquired of the dying man if he could do anything for him, He answered. No, Won't you have me bring you some water. No sir he answered. Can I write a letter to your friends at home? No sir I have no friends that you can write to now replied the dying man. Can't I do something for you inquired the officer. His soft blue eyes looked him in the face and he whispered in a low sweet voice "Please look in my cartridge box and get my little testament out, He did so, Now turn to 11th chapter JOHN and read the 2nd and 3rd verse" He did so and read "In my father's house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you to myself that where I am there ye may be also." Then in a still faint voice he said "Now read the 27th verse" he looked it up and read, " Peace I leave with you my peace I leave with you not as the world giveth, give ---- you, let your troubled heart be troubled rather let it be afraid". The dying man whispered " That verse is ----". Thank you sir ---- ---- my goodbye, and his spirit was gone from the battlefield forever.

Write plainly on one side of the paper and spell proper names accurately. Let your communications be short and to the point. HUNTSVILLE Special correspondent I will write again next week if this misses the horrible. MR. JOHN E. MCKENNEY moved to this place today to work in the lie woods. MR GEORGE DURKEE was in town on the 6th inst. representing Santag of Evansville. Died on the 3rd inst. ANNIE BROWN daughter of T. B. BROWN, of heart disease and measles. Our U.S. Pension agent is having good luck, He gets a pension for the boys every now and then. MR. WM. PENDLEY is visiting MRS. MAYHUGH'S daughter. He is as lively as a cricket for a man of his age. MR. BUD WESTRAY is very sick with the measles, BUD says he would not have had the measles for $50. MRS ANNIE MAYHUGH received a fine organ as a present from her mother, Now boys come and let's have music. MR LETCH BROWN says if he can't sell his land he will go back to Adairsville where he bought the ring as a Christmas present. REV. MR. DOYLE has moved here from Ohio county, We have plenty of reverends, there being four in town. The town ought to be safe. REV. JAS. BURDEN said the other day that he had the measles forty years ago and now has a backset of them. People don't often have backsets forty years afterward. BASKET ROCHESTER Special correspondent The foreman of the Sun is sorely afflicted, He has a sty and a boil. He is not feeling very religious at present. Blooded stock is selling at very high prices here at present. MR. ROBERT TANNER bought a 23 year old filly for $2.50. The other night our little town received quite a scare. The cause was a false alarm of fire. It proved to be a man who had imbibed too much, who was ringing the ferry bell and shouting for the ferryman. Saturday March 7th will be a memorable day in the annals of Rochester. It was the day upon which the school tax was voted. From sunrise until after dark our little town was in constant excitement. The anti tax men fought and well to protect their h omes and property from the vampire of high tax. But their efforts were futile against the trickery of their opponents. The polls closed with three majority in favor of the tax with five votes to be contested. We do not know what the decision will be. ED VENGADER SOUTH HILL Special correspondence Be patient Hub the creek is up and I couldn't get to you. The measles are plentiful in this vicinity. Be careful boys. Saw log men are having a fine time getting their logs to market.

I see some inquiries as to legislative timber in the Republican, Some timber is a natural growth of South Hill. We suggest JOHN HOLMAN, A. J. DRAKE, GEO. BRADLEY, S. T. CARROLL and FRANK GRUBB all true blue good tough hickory. One MR. LEE is putting up a saw and grist mill near AMOS BELILES which is a great help to the building men of this place. Such progress and industry I never saw, things were not that way when I was a boy. But these are fast days and we have to get up and get or we will get left. Wishing great success to your paper I remain the old man of South Hill. General SHERMAN at the close of was call almost 5,000 soldiers by name, according to a statement made by the ---Howard.
