    3. Drew Advance 2-12-1895: We have had a snow since I wrote last and a right good time we had snowballing. It fell about 5 inches deep and there are still patches of it in sheltered places. Some of our people went rabbit hunting while others went hog hunting. I think the rabbit hnters had the best luck for rabbits are fat and hogs are not. The weather has been so bad that farmers could do but little work, and some of them have a bad case of blues in consequence. Old Sol has shown his welcome countenance again and everybody is busy making rails and clearing new ground. Postmaster Andy Hayes has gone to Tillar to work for Mr. Ed Grisham. Bro. Esmon Collins preached for us last Sunday. His text was Matthew 1:21. He preached a good sermon. Our Sunday School is still booming, but did not have any Sunday on account of bad weather and the burial of Mr. C. Brockman's little 4 year old daughter, who was burned to death Saturday. She was playing in the back yard with her little brother and had built a fire to keep them warm. Her clothing took fire and before assistance could reach her, was so badly burned that she died shortly afterward. Mrs. May Henley fell from her door step last week and was severely injured, but is getting along nicely now. Grandma Marshall died at Pine Bluff on the 2d and was buried at Old Mt. Tabor on the 5th. She leaves a host of friends and relatives to mourn her loss. Jann Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com
