To-day is’‘Easier Sunday” and
tlic annual vaster meeting at
St. John’s chapel was held to-day,
under the charge of the Hcv. J, S.
Elmore, who preached an interest
ing sermon on tho "Resurrection.”
Mr. Elmore is a H unt speaker,
consequently many were present to
note Ids eloquence.
Notwithstanding the dcatructive
"blow" which did much injury to
corn and cotton that was j.ial corn
ing up, the former is lookiug quite
promising, though tho parched lips
still marks tlio eflccts of the wind.
It is predicted that wc will havean
immense fruit croo Ibis yoar. As it
bus been four years since wc had
a fruit crop, of course wc wonld bo
glad to have one.
Boldcnville is on a boom, and is
fnitlifully emulating her sister cit
ies, ami us the competition in build
ing railroads becomes more ardent,
Boldcnville is feeling a proud
cquoiily nnd bases her forlnna on
bright future hopes, and as Mr. L.
I). Bolden, our energetic merchant,
is one of the “whnt can-I -do-for-you-
this-niorning-gcntlcmcn” kind of a
merchant, wo feel assured of his
success.
Tho report was current for a
while that tlic new railroad would
have this place for its terminus;
but they did not run it hero, how
ever, nnd ns they aro going to run
it to Amlcrsouvilie, of course we
use “out” again. Wlii'o the cjti
/.cns of the neighboring cities arc
enthusiastic on tho “railroad" ques
tion, ami arc even growing fat on
bright niitiuipations, wc, tbc citi
zens of Boldenvilic feel at a loss,
however, we propose to build a
road, connecting Boldenvilie with
the “Flint" when the river is made
navigable, nnd when the steam
boats run the river, and that, to
Lite opinion of the writer, is only a
question of time. The road wonld
Im an acquisition to Boldcnville,
which only needs a few more-rail
roads, nrd a “steamer” on the
“Flint” to make it a place of im
portance. No, we won’t be Iclt
behind. We'li hare the road, we
will. *-• W.C.

A little murc 4 thun|lltly years ago
tiie employes of the Anns shoe man-
nfaetory at south Deerfield lie-
gulled thler leisure hours by kite
Hying,and the strife was to sec who
would get the largest. Tho twine
which held them was the shoe thread
spun and twisted by the ladie9 or
the village. One day to the tail of
the- largest bite, was attached a
kitten, sewed in a canvass bag with
netlingover tho mouth to give it
air. When the kite was at its greatait
height, some 200 feet or more, the
mewing of tho kitten could ’be dis
