NEWBERN NEWS:
This town has improved more this fall than for the last ten years, with high expectations for more improvement in the spring.
J.C. HOWARD has built an addition to his store room.
J.W. WELSH is building him a fine residence.
The M.E. Church is repairing their parsonage and talk of a new church building.
There has been a protracted meeting going on in the M.E. Church for a few weeks, and there is a mighty shaking of the dry bones in the village.
The health of the place is remarkably good but it is not surprising when I say that we have five practicing physicians.
DR. GARTON lately received a second stroke of paralysis, but is slowly recovering from the same.
W.B. WILEY, Esqr. of Chariton, is teaching our public school while PROF. BOWMAN is conducting a singing class.
