Miss Lla Switzer is slowly recovering from a severe attack of diptheria. _i ■ ' -* • Literary at Independence .Thurs-

day evening Feb. 7* All are invited to come and take part. The protracted meeting at Brushwood Chapel is largely attended. One or two converts so far. The exhibition given by the school of M. L. Pass at North Lawn was a grand success and largely attended. The teacher at the Independence school was called away by the sickness of a brother. Other wedding bells resounded through the ears last Sunday evening. Those of Mr. Edmond Walker and Miss Clara Nicbelson, both residents of Barkley. The wedding was a very quiet affair, and the happy couple will reside on the home place of the groom. »
