our old friends a "benefit".
Mr. E. HARRIS was in town on Tuesday, the first time we have seen
him in several months. He has had a hard run of sickness but is
slowly recovering. Mrs. HARRIS is also very feeble but is able to
be out a little. their many friends hope that they may both
recover and live long to enjoy the ample property that they have
worked so hard to accumulate.
We are pained to learn of the death of Mr. J. GLINES, which
occurred recently in the East, whither he went last summer with
Mr. and Mrs. N.W. STILES.
