From Wheeling, La.

Feb. 10.-Farmers in this locality are well up with their work, some
plowing being done.  Corn will soon be planted as the farmers in this
community are early planters and good farmers.

We have a good 8-month school at Wheeling.  Miss Eliza Payne, from the
State Normal at Natchitoches, is the teacher.

Rev. G. L. J. Brown is paster of the M. P. church at Mt. Zion and preaches
ever first Sunday, while Rev. Isiah Watson, president of Verda College, is
pastor of the Baptist church, preaching every second Sunday.

Mr. Hamp Spikes of Natchitoches Parish will move to Mt.  Zion, having
purchased land from S. C. Curry.  He and family are gladly welcomed to our
community.

Mr. I. B. Mitchell has moved back to this community.  We are glad to have
him with us again, he is such a good neighbor and worker in the church.

Mr. J. W. Hughes fell from off a house several days ago, dislocating his
ankle.  He is slowly improving.

Mr. W. R. Adams, the efficient postmaster and merchant at Wheeling, was
married last week to Miss Kate Lee Maseberg.  The groom is one of our
nicest and most promising young men while his bride is a beautiful and
accomplished young lady.  The bride was beautifully dressed in white with a
wreath and veil, while the groom looked his best.  Quite a crowd attended
the marriage and all had a pleasant time.

Wishing the young couple and THE SENTINEL success I will close for now.

A SUBSCRIBER.
