Our town is gradually improving. We have four stores; two churches, prayer meeting once a week, Sunday School; roller mill, two saw mills; tombstone, cabinet, and millinery shops; carding machine; silver smith and gun shop; shingle machine; college, and one of the best schools in the county; Masonic Hall; two carpenters; two practicing physicians, one tooth dentist; three preachers; and God only knows how many loafers. We trust our Fiscal Court will tax our payers a reasonable per cent to assist in making a road from here to the county seat so we can get to town in winter without much trouble. We dry land people will probably present this question to the court when they are done bridging.
