From Lick Creek
After a long sojourn in the repair
shops we have again "hove" in sight with a few items from this
principality. The weather is very fine, and the farmers have begun their spring
work in earnest. Ere long the buds will put out their leaves, while the flowers
will make their presence known by sweet perfume.
John Nelson will farm Henry Anson's place this season.
Mr. Anson's health is in such poor condition that he is unable to work.
W.D. Renecker, Grant Noble and Bennett left this
section for Colorado last month.
Miss Weltha Short will commence a spring term of school
in the Renecker district next Monday.
There will be a ferry boat put into the river at
Kilbourne soon. John Craig, the proprietor, has received about $75 subscription
for the purpose of procuring a chain.
The last social of the season was held at Daniel
Renecker's. It was a very pleasant affair, considering that the gentlemen were
considerably in the majority.
Rev. Hunter preached a rousing discourse at Kilbourne
Sunday evening. Rev. Hunter is held in high esteem by the citizens of his
charge, he is making an impression for good on the minds.
The farmers anticipate a good crop this season. They
are sowing a good deal of spring wheat and oats. The late rains have put the
ground in good condition for cultivating.
People are about through moving and every thing is now
assuming a busy air.
