Editor Gazette — Having reclaimed our position as correspondent, we again will attempt to give the readers of the Gazette the items that have transpired in this vicinity during the past week.
Whether lacking topics of discussion and debate at The Literary Society or a genuine doubt resides in the mind of the average inhabitant of Plum Grove, is not known. However, the topic must not have been fully resolved before, for it remains a topic for further speculation: “Resolved that the soul of man receives its reward at the time the breath leaves the body.”
——The protracted meeting that was carried on in this place by Rev. Cain closed on last Sunday evening. —Mrs. Strasser died on Sunday, Feb. 2nd, after an illness of 17 days. —Dr. I. V. Davis has rented his dwelling in town to Seaman and Newell, the Dr. has turned Granger, and moved on to the farm he lately purchased of Mr. Hitchcock. —The Plum Grove Literary Club will meet on this (Friday) evening. Question for discussion, "Resolved that the soul of man receives its reward at the time the breath leaves the body." —The GAZETTE says that it received a gold medal al the centennial for truth and veracity; could not you lend that medal to Num Skull? if you could perhaps we might believe part of the stories he reports about Reno. —Our boys' in this vicinity swore off on Christmas last, on January 1st they followed Secretary Sherman's example and resumed. —A person writing from Newton to the Carthage (Ill.) Gazette, (our old home.) reports that the thermometer ran down to 120 degrees below zero in Jan.; I wonder if he has a Gold Medal for truth. —Mr. Bigness has erected a large barn in town; he intends to put in a livery stock In a few days. —Num Skull wishes to know what difference it makes to us whether he makes his regular trips to Reno or not; the only difference it makes to us is this, if he does not choose himself a guardian soon, we will be obliged to apply to the court to have one appointed.
