Blackford

Hurley’s sick folks are all slowly recovering again. Mrs. Daniels and Mrs. Shroyer are both able to be up. Commodore Snow visited Mrs. Lizzie Switzer last Monday. John Price was a caller in the vicinity of Blackford last Saturday, selling family records, to be framed and hung up. E. C, Switzer’s visited at Dewdrop and attended lhe protracted meeting there from Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening. John Knight sold at public sale Tuesday his stock and fanning implements. He will move to Wheatfield and engage in hauling for awhile. Saturday and Sunday was pleasant and the big snow and ice melted off so the ground was bare nearly everywhere, but Monday it snowed again and the ground is frozen quite hard. Rev. Sines preached at Dewdrop church last Saturday night and Sunday and left Rev. Appleton there to conduct a series of meetings, this week, as there is quite a revival among the members and others.
