                                From Spearsville
                                   ----------
   Since writing last, Mrs. S. J. Hollis' son, Howard, had the misfortune of getting 
his leg broken by a loaded wagon. He is improving quite fast, so stated.

  Messrs. Benj. and Robert Post, who reside near Lockhart, are expecting to move to 
Texas before many weeks.

   Mr. Isom Johnson, one of the partners running Johnson & Brown's saw mill a few miles 
northwest of here, had his head, neck, face and shoulders considerably bruised up a few 
days since by some of the boxing of the running machinery flying out. He is getting 
well again.

   Miss Ida Spears left recently to resume her school near Juno, Union county, Ark.
   The right-of-way for the railroad is now cut out to the Spearsville and Summerfield 
road.

   Mr. T. W. Clark and his hands are at work again on the Cornie bridge.

   Notwithstanding the large crop of potatoes raised here this season, it is a fact 
that they are rotting. one man in this neighborhood, Mr. H. W. Breazeal, states that he 
dug and housed about 400 bushels.

   Much cotton is yet in the patch in these parts.

   Sickness is giving way some, and so is my news.

   I may come again when something else happens.

   Nov. 21, 1898                                               B.
