About tbe time wheat was ripe for the harvest and ready for the sickle one of those long continuous wet weather spells set In, and before closing threatened very seriously the utter destruction of the crop, but providence exercising Ilis power and kindness in our fflvor is withholding liis showers and dispersing the thick clouds, giving us a bright sky under which to garner the fruits of our labor, and to-day the binders liavo been heard in all directions. The corn crop looks well, though late on account of cut worms.Excursions are becoming very frequent on our railroad, especially on Sunday. The I. A. T. is doing a very fair business, all things considered. Capt. Mann, our rtgular conductor, has returned from a short visit 16 his family in Georgia.G. W. Gordon is now on a southern trip for his health and business. Under a recent proposition from a certain recently organized railroad syndicate, it may be safely calculated that the I. A. T. will be carried on to very early completion to Princeton if not detained in a busiueBS way too much at Herndon.We had tlio exquisite pleasure a day or two since of seeing the two boys so often spoken of heretofore— Mrs. Evans’ and Mrs. Quarles’—hard to tell the finer looking of tlio two. Mothors, train them tip in the way they should go, and they will honor you and afford you much happiness in the future.The Methodist church at Herndon was dedicated last Sunday. A goodly number from Clarksville and stations along the line took advantage of the excursion train to go to the dedi cation services. But for the heavy rains that fell about 0 or 10 o’clock a. in., a great many others would have gone. Between 11 and 12 o’clock the train came into our town crowded for Herndon. Mr. Haskins and family, the Misses Wilson and Mr. Whit Itadford went aboard from here. Great i reparations were made to foed the congregation on that day Mr. Joe Fleming and others, near Garrettsburg, had a large barbecue commencing last Friday evening and holding until Saturday night. Candidates on hand ad infinitum.Business is looking up in llowcll; when business lags we fill the space by croquet playing, we have some very Interesting games. Parties from Clarksyille join us now and then. We would like if the Herndon-ites could visit us more, but we presume they are too busy.Our town was visited by the young ladies of Garrettsburg Saturday evening, Miss Lena Organ and Miss Imogcne White, horse-back riding, also M]ss Nellie Park who is visiting relatives at J. B. Radford’s.Mr. W. W. Radford tested his scales at tbe depot Saturday evening by weighing six young ladiis, weight aggregating 1,000 pounds. It is usual sometimes to take the census of the country but W. W. Radford is taking the weight of all the young ladies. Come in one and all and be weighed. You will find the agent at the depot.Ivlub constantly appreciates the esteem by “Horace” acknowledging the honor done by Klub passing through his tqwn. From the limited observation wo had of the parks, we think they would scarcely compare with the Central New York or Hide Park in England. The Boulevards we did not observe at all but supposed they were situated in or near the gulch or cave in the back ground. The Banquets wo did not attend as we thought they came off the next Sabbath after we pas-ed through the town, as we were informed an excursion was due there from Clarksville, Tenn., on that day at 11 o’clock, at which time or about that hour the banqueting began, and it required the services ofsix clerks to attend the Banqueters; as the excursioniiits re turned through our quiet little town givo Indications that blue water, red water or some other kind of water had been freely used, all on the Sab bath dav.
