SCALF
?. P. Dickey has sold his farm to G. T. Mills and is going to locate at Flat
Lick.
G. B. Jackson has turned his farm over to his children and is going to move to
Flat Lick.
G. T. Mills has sold his saw mill to Robert Wolsham and has bought Francis
Scalf’s grist mill.
We have lots of sickness in our neighborhood, and it looks like our doctor, T.
W. Jones, will have to employ a deputy, or work himself to death, as he hardly
has time to sleep night or day.
Messrs. Hubbard and Hammons are working fifteen to twenty men in the stave woods
and it looks like somebody is going to be out something if the job lasts much
longer.
Last Saturday as Thomas Hubbard and his crew of hands were coming from work on
the head of the creek and were crossing the high foot log near
Vick Mills,
Melvin Brown, when about halfway across, thought about how good he loved his
Jesus, fell or jumped into the creek. He must have seen the spirit ascending
from the way he went up his expressions, as we thinks the recording angel must
have dropped his pep and looked on with amazement.
CANNON
H. L. Cannon, postmaster at this place, is repairing the Sinking Valley school
house. We hope Henry will make a nice job of it.
J. F. Willis went to Barbourville on business Saturday and returned by way of
Holden. No one knows for what reason.
Mr. Frank Odell, in attempting to pull a string of casing from a well on the
Henry Jackson farm on Long Branch, caused the well to flow oil. Be careful,
Frank, and don’t pull too hard.
Rev. W. C. Judd and others have been holding a revival meeting at Old Payne’s
near here.
We don’t wonder at F. B. Jones being interested in the lumber business, for it
looks as though there is prospects of his needing a house of his own before
long.
