FROM GILLAM.

(Crowded out last week.) Weather changeable and roads muddy. The earth is beautified once more by the appearance of grass, showing that winter has let loose its cold embrace and given way to gentle spring. The farmers have begun their spring work, quite a number are sowing oats. The measles are on the decrease. There are but few cases at present. Mr. J. G'. Hunt is making few improvements od his farm, by the erecting of a wire fence. Mr. Crayton Rayburn’s new house is almost completed. Mr. John Mason and family will take leave for Kansas next week. Wp wish them a pleasant journey and much success. Mr* A. C. Prevo has purchased a top buggy. Mr. Preston Comer went spWh ing through the mud up to Mr. Osborn’s Sunday evening. We presume he was going to take a lesson in “music”. We hope he may be successful. We are glad to see the smiling face of Miss Anna Maanuuce more iu uur social cuei.es.
