BLACKFORD.

Our little town is on a boom. Mr. Casey was here Friday selling dry goods. Meeting at Brushwood Chapel was largely attended last Sunday night—mostly by boys. The Christion Endeavor society is still held at Burns’ school house every Thursday night. Meeting at 11 a. m., Sunday School 3p. m. All invited. Solomon McCurtain is not much better at this writing. Some of the people of this vicinity have their corn planted. We believe it is better off in the crib while it is so cold. Monkey Wrench.
