Next morn ing she asked to be allowed to pay for her lodging in prayer, declaring sne had performed great wonders by prayer. On the gentleman’s farm was a little negro ,whose legs were all twisted, and set coming and go ing. The traveler was informed that she had the opportunity to per form a great wonder, and if she straightened up the coon her bill would be considered settled. She did considerable whispering and as sured Ben. that if he wonld only have faith lie’d certainly come out of the kinks. But, it is presumed that Ben. didn’t get up a sufficient amount of faith, as his pegs still have the same old set. The farmers on the Hill are at it again; considerably disfigured from last year’s experiments, but still in the ring. The labor question- is still worrying those who have no laborers. I know of one ten-mule farm with only one bund on it, aud a 7-raule farm with but two. Still there is some life in the old land, for on last Thursday Mr. E. B. Till, one of the best farmers on the Hill, entertained a number of his friends at a six o’clock dining. Eight gentlemen from Perry were among the party, and if there is any doubt about it being a dinner right, just ask any of them. Not only the elegant dinner, but the entire evening was immense ly enjoyed by all, and as we sipped our last best wishes, it was that Mr. Till would live always. But why not let us keep the ball rolling and have a little spice along.in this humdrum life? The motion has been seconded and carried, and I have authority to toll the boyBgthat as soon as the sap begins to rise so that our grape vine telephone will work, you will be called again together on the Old Hill to offer your intentions. Politics is very quiet on the Hill. All our aspirants for the governor ship and congress are sawing wo6d and laying low for the present. But look out, there is no telling where the lightning may hit. Mr. Will Jones of Macon was on the Hill a few days last week, and while here enjoyed a fine cat. race. Mr. Su-rp B. Goodwin, of nea Marshallvilie, was on the Hillashor while to-day. Mr. F. K. Till returned to Macon to-day, after a visit to his relatives here. Jan’y, 1, 1902. - The Constitution’s Inducements. Rigsby—Smith. Mr. Thomas Rigsby of Powers- ville and Miss Fannie Smith of Ma con county were married Sunday, 19th inst*, at 11 o’clock, Rev. J. M. King performing the ceremony. The marriage was a lovely home affair, at which only intimate friends of the families were present. Many lovely gifts and sincere wishes for a happy future were given Mr. Rigsby and his fair bride. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith of Macon county. Mr. Smith is one Macon’s most .prosperous farmers, a man who lives at home and boards at the same place. The bride was married in a lovely gown of brown broadcloth. Mr. Orman Gannon with Miss Ed na Harris, and Mr. Jim Daniel with Miss Fannie Epting were the at tendants. The bridesmaids' were beautifully dressed,' and looked the picture of loveliness. The bride is a very popular young lady and her friends are numbered by her acquaintances. The groom is a son of Mr. M. G. Rigsby. Ho is a young man of fine qualities; honorable and upright m all his dealings. After the marriage a sumptuous dinner was given at the home of the bride, after which the happy young couple, accompanied by a few friends, drove through the country to the home of the groom’s uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Brown, where a reception was ten dered them. Sub. Minetree Topics. HOUSTON SHERIFF’S SALES.

To day, second Mondas', there are 93, hnd* we are anticipating a - similar increase by next Friday, Prof. Hart taught here two .months before Christmas, and every one seems to have found out what an able teacher he is; the consequence being the school is larger than ever before. If the school continues to increase for the next two weekB as it has.for the past two, we will have' to call in another assistant. We can safely Bay that no other teacher having as many small ones to manage as Miss Nettie can excel her in doing justice to all.
