this is the last issue on my microfilm.Will pick up 1896 with a different newspaper in a few weeks. Spirit of Democracy January 16, 1896 Sardis Rev. Wilson's meeting is still continuing. Everyone should attend these meetings, and think about them, if it isn't much easier to live a christian life than to be a sinner. Mr. E. Fry has opened up his new grocery store. Ed is a pleasant gentleman and should be patronized. Mrs. Lydia Lemmon of Allegheny was the guest of Slate Lemmon a few days this week. Mr. Scott Hevington attended big meeting here Wednesday night. Dr. J. K. Ferguson registered at the Oneil house this week. Ed Martin of the steamer Keystone is at home now. Dora Coffield was at home the past week. Dr. Griffith is busy vaccinating. transcribed by Sara Richardson Kelly re: Richardson, Suter, Griffith, Nesbitt, Deiter
