From our own Correspondent Mrs Lenhart Dull is no better. Old father Green is lying very low. Several of our farmers have their oats sown. Grant Johnson has gone to Michigan to spend the summer. William Foot moved into the house formerly occupied by Charles Thomas. The recent rains greatly aided ditching and wheat and grass growth. Several people are afflicted with sore eyes. Mr Packard from Perry county and Mrs Crawford from Middlepoint visited the closing of our school and were guests of the teacher Mr W W Miller. The meeting continues with unabated interest and has sixteen conversions and twelve accessions to the church. Services begin with a short prayer meeting then other exercises. the male members conduct services. The success is not due to oratory but to prayer.
