Col. GifjEord was out and went to Newland Saturday with an expert to make an inspection of his new dredge with a view of installing a gasoline engine as motive power instead of a steam engine. „ Mrs. C. J. Hobbs visited from Friday until Sunday with home folks at Hebron. E. L. Hollingsworth was out from Rensselaer in his automobile Sunday, inspecting his farm here. Uncle Johnnie Tyler has purchased a new electric' belt, and he reports that it works fine, and we understand that P. A. Lafond, C. J. Hobbs, Chas. Stevenson and Frances Harrington have placed orders with local agent "F. E. Lewis for each one, and several more are contemplating ordering. For further particulars inquire of local agent.

Miss Hattie Kersey, who has been unable to >speak above a whisper for the past 8 or 10 weeks, was agreeably surprised Sunday when she regained her voice. Her case was a rather peculiar one. While at school one day her voice suddenly and without warning, left her and she had been unable to speak above a whisper until Sunday, when she regained her voice as suddenly as she lost it. Her many friends and schoolmates were gratified- to learn the good news,, as she has been out of school since her voice left her.t >
