I will give a short description of our little town: It is about one half mile West of Falls Mills. We have about 60 or 70 inhabitants and they are principally Tabors and Belchers, all the very best of citizens, we only have one store, but it is a good strong wealthy community. So, it can furnish the entire town and surrounding country in goods at a low figure. Mr. H. J. Tabor is the head gentleman of this company.* * (Henry J. Tabor, s/o Stephen Paris Tabor & Eleanor Havens). The farmers have been bustling about for the last week to get the corn cribbed. Most every body is done. Mr. George Givens, of the Narrows, who was married a short time ago to Mrs. Fannie Colwell of this town, left here last week for the Narrows, where they will make their future home.
