Delta

School at this place is getting along nicely. Although we have a small school the patrons seem to understand
that prompt attendance is on of the most important factors of successful work by the pupils.
The fact that farmers are still gathering cotton is sufficient evidence of the production soil of this action.
We have several new comers to our community with the New Year, viz: Messrs. Chilcolm, Davis, Lawrence and
McMorris.
We learned that Mrs. Tidford, wife of Lem Tidford who died week before last, is improving.
Mr. Welch has purchased Jim Brewer's farm. Mr. Brewer having bought a part of his father, Uncle Pete Brewer's
farm.
George Brewer and wife visited their daughter, Mrs. Hargill at Brownsboro Monday night.
Br. Boyd is having some land cleared.
The writer attended church at Leagueville Sunday last and had the pleasure of meeting many old friends. Rev.
Funderburk preached his farewell sermon.
Bro. Funderburk lost a horse while at Leagueville and Bro. Brown expressed his sympathy as well as his
liberality by presenting him with a mule.
Mr. Marrow and Miss Dingler were married at Bro. Reeves Sunday evening, Bro. Reeves officiating.
Mr. Spivey and Miss Tedford of the Delta country were married Sunday evening.
Mr. Cotton, justice of the peace, and Rev. Hodge's son are very low of pneumonia.
We desire to mention some thing about the elegant accommodations at Leagueville for school. The patrons of
that school certainly deserve credit for the new schoolhouse which they have just furnished with new desk. We
think they are being amply repaid for their trouble by Prof. Warren who is conducting a very fine school.
Success to the REVIEW and its many readers.
E. E. Smith.
