E. Foote, the Hartford Singer Sewing Machine Co.'s man, was in a few minutes last Saturday morning while waiting for J. L. Evans to repair a broken tug to his harness.

The articles will commence in two or three weeks, and we would like to see as many as can take advantage of the opportunity for instructions and amusement.
Grandpa Blue, of South Lebo, was made happy last Sturday by the assembling at his house of the boys, John and Jim, and their families, and a few other kinds friends, to celebrate his 73d birthday. About 15 or 20 in all were present, bringing presents of various kinds and value, including flowers and boquets, to attest the love and esteem in which he is held by those present and in fact all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. A bountiful repast was spread, a general good time was had, and none enjoyed it more than he. May his joys increase as the years go by, and his countenance continue to reflect that peace and contentment begotten only of the consciousness of a life well spent, is the wish of all.
