Blacksmith CORDER is making a nice lot of new plows. The farmers say he makes just as good plows as any body, and sells them cheap. His son Charley has gone into the shop now and commenced to learn the trade. That's right Charlie. It will take a good while, but stick to it, and in the end you will be able to make a good living for yourself and that other one too.

Dr. John H. MITCHELL attended the commencement exercises of the Chicago Medical College last week, where his brother Henry C. MITCHELL was to graduate. They arrived at home again on Friday March 7. Henry graduated with honor, receiving the second prize for his medical Thesis. A prize from so prominent an institution is no inconsiderable honor. Henry returned home in much better health then when he left last fall. He has out best wishes wherever he may see fit to locate and commence practice.

Lou S. MITCHELL, Teacher.

Our young friend J.C. SMITH left on the 14th for Carbondale, where he expects to attend the spring term of the Normal. Mr. S. is a young man of fine morals and excellent habits.

W.E. CHITWOOD contemplates opening a select school of twelve weeks duration at his place, commencing April 7.

W.J. RIDGEWAY has been on the sick list for the past few days; but he is now behind the counter ready to wait on all customers wishing to purchase anything in the dry goods line.

Mr. W.H. RIDGEWAY expects to start to Texas on the first of May. Don't see how we can run Stone Fort without him, as he has been among us for several years and proves to be an efficient man. He expects to remain in the dry goods business and will have a stock of dry goods sent to him after arrival there.

Miss Anna HARRISON returned home from the Frankfort high school last week. *Handwritten above Harrison is Mitchell.*

Miss Gertie BROWN, principal of the Frankfort school passed through the prairie Friday last enrout for her home at Crainville. *Handwritten above Brown is Murrah.*

Our esteemed young friend George HARRISON, who has been attending Shurtleff college the past winter will spend the spring and summer at home.

We had the pleasure of attending the closing exercises of Alec STOTLAR's school last week, and record with pride, the fact, that the term of school has been the most pleasant and profitable known to the district for a number of years. Mr. S. has labored under many disadvantages but his untiring energy and perseverance he has accomplished a work gratifying both to himself and patrons.

Our good looking friend Lafayette HUNTER of Enfield stops on the Prairie occasionally. He is a prominet character in the Exihibition, and contemplates spending the summer in this locality.

Prof. STOTLAR is at home this week resting up, preparatory to entering upon his summers work. A large delegation of Prairieites will will avail themselves of his excellent instruction during the term. **Handwritten C.C. above Prof. Stotlar.

The local chat of the week is to the effect that Ivan failed to put in an appearance last week; that John BRIDENSTINE will retaliate; that Cato reasons philosophically; that Jim GIBBS wants to ventilate his feelings; that Bud PERRYs wedding is inevitable; that Geo. HARRISON has dispensed with College airs; that Charlie POPE made a tally last Saturday night; that Joe PERRY does his counting in blank verse; that J.N. DUNCAN is spoiling for a set of whiskers; that Laf. HUNTER is some what dignified in appearence; that Luke RALLS has a Satanic frown; that John JENNINGS is always happy; that we have a golden tongued choir; that the entertainment will be largely attended; that our society will challenge the Southern Normal for a literary contest and that victory will perch on the Prairie banner.

A large number of our people are highly gratified over the acquittal of Arch MCMURRY. He was arraigned, tried and convicted on a charge of assault and battery before Esq. PERRINE for correcting one of his scholars. He appealed the case, and in justice to himself and the cause(?) of education, the verdict was reversed. A charge of that kind surely cannot be legally sustained against a teacher.

We have lately learned that the boys had John BRIDESTINE on trial in regard to that dog purchase, bringing up some hard evidence against him. Also that he has an article prepared for your columns justifying we presume, the purchase of that "old favorite," and in which he doubtless gives Ivan his dues for exaggeration on the number of hides obtained from each coon.

Will HOLMES of whom we made mention last week as being sick with pneumonia, is at present quite low, with gloomy prospects for recovery.

Billy RADFORD and wife paid their respects to Johnson county folks last Saturday and Sunday.

We are pained to announce the death of the wife of L.W. HALL who departed this life the 4th inst.

A small child of Steve TANNER has been dangerously ill the past week but is at present mending.

We understand that the wife of John CASSIDY is at present quite ill with pneumonia with very little prospect for recovery.

Died, the 8th inst. James BIGGERS, of pneumonia. His loss will be felt by the entire community in which he lived. His death was that of a christian. We tender out heart felt sympathy to the bereaved family in this their sad hour of distress.

Belford JOYNER & Co. have moved their saw mill into out midst, on the farm of James WRIGHT where they will soon be prepared to cut lumber in hurry.

Elijah TANNER of Saline, has been in our midst the past week attending the sick bed of his uncle Will HOLMES.

Steve HOLMES late of Saline county has moved into our midst. He has purchased his old farm back and located thereon.

John E. DUFREE has been very low with pneumonia, but is now convalescent.

Died at his residence the 15th inst., of pneumonia M.W. SPENCE.

From Mrs. Mary GOODALL we are in record of an obituary notice recording the death, at Ukiah California, in May 1877, of Mrs. Mary J. HENRY, wife of Mr. Purd HENRY. Mrs. HENRY was born in Williamson county and her childhood was passed in Marion. As Miss Mary CORDER she was known to a majority of our readers, for but few of the residents of Williamson County for the past 15 or 20 years are unacquainted with Anderson CORDER, a daughter of whom Mrs. HENRY was. The notice says:

"Mrs. HENRY was born in Williamson County, Illinois, march 7th, 1841. Her childhood was passed in Marion. She graduated with credit to herself and family at St. Vincent Chapel, Morganfield, Union county KY, in the year 1863. Was married August 6th, 1866, and came to California in November 1869. She leaves a sorrowing husband five little ones to mourn her loss. Her eldest child, a girl, but ten years of age, too young to aid the other children, and too old to be without a mother's care. An aged father and mother also mourn the child they hoped wo'd be the comfort of their last hours and for this they gave up old friends and associations, and came in their life's decline to make their home among strangers."

Those indebted to the estate of Moses ATWOOD, deceased are hereby notified that all debts due the estate must be settle immediately. All notes and accounts not settled by April 1, will be collected by law. G.W. JAMES E.A. ATWOOD, Administrators.

We would be pleased to see the young folks of our town take more interest in a cause of this character. We are well aware of the fact that this is one effort toward a better standard of morals, a more perfect system of etiquette, the grand neuclus around which clings the germs of sociability and a true and just regard for humanity.

The latest thing out is the wonderful musical instrument owned and managed by the popular musician, James G. CHITWOOD. No one ever suspected that such a skill would be developed in so short a time. But attainment is unapproachable without vigorous effort. The instrument is a box about 18 inches long, wedge shape with metalic peices across the top, from end to end. The music is produced by tapping cross pieces with little sticks.

The school at Oak Grove in district 6 T 10 R 1 east, taught by Miss Emma PERRY, was out last Friday. Although Miss PERRY had a hard time in her school, being arrested by one Mr. GRIMES on a States warrant, for whipping one of his boys, tried and cleared in a short time after two of the directors went to her school with two charges against her and dismissed her from the school; after dismissing her they found that the charges were false and that Miss PERRY was going to sue them for the balance of the time and damages, they reinstated her raising her wages five dollars on the month. I can say in regard to Miss PERRY's school, for the chance she had taught as the best school we have had for years and would heartily recommend her as a teacher wherever she goes. She discharged her duty as a teacher and served us faithfully and is now with friends at home, not bothered with the scholars of district No. 6.

At Hurricane Elder RODMAN filled his monthly appointment last Sunday. He had the attention of a large audience whom he addressed in his usual earnest, able and impressive manner. Several from the prairie were in attendance.

Many if not more of our young friends are going off to school this spring; among the number are Misses Anna HARRISON and Met POPE.

There must be something else in the wind, for J.H. DUNCAN still makes those visits across the prairie as though he was yet practicing for the exhibition.

The entertainment of the 21st was largely attended. Among many who came from a distance were Mr. W.L. BENSON, Willis WESTBROOK and the fair ones they brought with them from your town who, by the way on their return home missed their road and were found in the east edge of the prairie where they were taken in and kept till morning, then started on their way rejoicing.

That colt paces right along and H.H. PERRY looks forward with an earnest longing to the time when it will be large enough to ride. Then he thinks his trials and "defeats" will be over.

Mr. Decab CAPLINGER of Sherman, Texas, is visiting his uncle John CAPLINGER. He thinks he will stay with us a while.

Uncle Jack JENKINS has bought a sulky plow with which he is very much pleased.

A horse that Charles CASH was keeping (the property of Mr. William SPILLER) died of blind staggers recently. This is the second horse that has died there with this disease. Any one knowing a remedy for the disease would do well to publish it.

Any person wishing a favor should call on John JENKINS. He loaned his horse to a man in town last week to ride 12 miles and break up a potato patch and walked home himself.

Miss Nannie JONES left recently for Carbondale, where she will attend the spring term of the Normal. Her presence will be greatly missed by the young folks of the neighborhood.

The above report includes only those who attended school during the month ending March 21, 1879. The attendance has been good throughout the term, and much interest has been manifested by the parents and children. I close my school with the best feelings toward all the children and parents; feeling that i have discharged my duties to the best of my ability, and hoping that all who attended will continue to improve every succeeding opportunity of storing their minds with useful knowledge.

W.C. MCANALLY, Teacher.

Mrs. M.W. SPENCE is improving from a long spell of sickness.

Sunday school at the Oakes school house last Sunday.

M.L. BAKER while trying to break a young horse got kicked and severly hurt.

Mrs. M.D. BAKER is very sick at present.

Died, March 4th 1879, Sarah A. HALL, wife of Isaac W. HALL in her 43rd year. Mrs. HALL was born in Williamson County, January 12, 1836, married to Isaac W. HALL January 1, 1857.

On the following morning after her death a large concourse of people assembled at the family cemetery to pay the last sad tribute of respect to beloved departed one. Funeral services conducted by Revs. HOPPAS and TANNER. She obtained hope in Christ at the age of 16 years and attached herself to the United Baptist ch., of which she has been a consistent member until called away by death to her celestial home in heaven. She leaves a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Her loss to the family is irreparable; and in the death of Mrs. HALL the husband has lost a true and loving companion, the children a pious and good mother, and the church one of its most faithful and constant workers. The bereaved husband and family of the deceased have the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad hour of bereavement.

"Farewell dear Sarah thy name shall

be

Still dear unto our souls,

Though thou art gone we'll think of

thee

In life and death's control.

You left us too early, dearest one

You left us to weep and mourn,

Bright angels now hover around you

Your forehead with wreaths they

adorn.

We loved you as cearly(?) dear one

As a mother could love her first

born

But our Saviour did soon call you

And your death we are left to mourn.

But why should we grieve for you

And why our grief should we show

When in heaven with father and

mother.

 Hand in hand together you go. J.F.H.
