Gillam Itsms.

Weather oold, and some snow. People rejoicing over the appearance of the. new year. ' Several turkey ‘roasts in the country around Gillam. A dinner was given on new year’s day by John Tillett, to the young folks. We are told that some one was too late. t M. A. Makeever*reports Union, alive and well. •' Boms of the teachers dismissed sohool during holidays, to attend the teachers association, in selaer, but they were disappointed when they found that it was a failwe. fc The teachers, of Gillam, have an institute at Center school house next Saturday. John Blaze is packing ice. The river iB navigable at the Tillett bridge—fdr tan boots and shoes. The people of Medaryville are afraid es the small pox, but we think there is no danger. Our friend, Dan Guild, has come home from school to spend holidays. D. B. Coppeas is about to take his departure, for school. He is going to the Central Normal. The people will urns him, for he is a jolly fellow. John Tillett is talking of going to Tennessee shortly, to look at the country, Wm. fttevens may accompany him, also Larken Logan of this place. C. W, Farris is holding a writing school at Independence; has a good class and they are progressing in the art nicely. Feeding cattle and chopping wood is the business of the farmers of Gillom at present. Fritz. Hr. John D. Brothers of Portsmouth, writes: “Two years ago I suffered from a severe attack of malarial fever; I was brought very low to death’s door; I had never fully recovered, and often was distressed with billiousness, headache, ■inkjpg chills, night sweats, indigestion and painful urination. About three months ago I noticed an advertisement of Brown’s Iron Bitters in a Cincinnati paper. From the first it seemed to he just the medicine I had long needed. I am now just as strong and hearty as a buck, and weigh nearly one half again as much as I did three months ago.”

Jordan Items.

Jordan is happy, with two protracted meetings; one at Egypt conducted by the Her. Loder, and one at Union conducted by Father Bloomer, a veteran minister, of come fifty years service; both gentlemen it is reported, have awakened a lively interest, in their respective localities, with favorable prospects. We are rejoicing because of the answer to our repeated prayers, for a freeze, and good roads. If the good people have not over done the work, as they did last summer, while wa were suffering from the effects protracted drouth, and freeze us out, we will have further cause for rejoicing. The recent heavy rains, have developed the fact, that our county #>mmissioEsr ,'n their zeal to e« iV omiz6 public expenditures, have constructed too many cheap affaire to represent bridges, which with oonatant repairs prove to be very dear investments, to say nothing of the inconvenience the public have to put up with, while out of repairs. While we believe that wooden bridges are the best and cheapest, we cannot understand why we should not have good Substantia! stone abutments and piers built for the superstructure, instead of a few half rotted logs, and a few loads of sand or dirt; thrown against them, as an excuse for abutments. Stone see not so expensive, we have the boulders, sand and limestone, all in fair quantities, and once in use, will last for ages, and a wooden structure will last much longer on a solid foundation than on a foundation that is continually giving away and racking the structure. Let us haye a reform in this direction and save money.
