affliction and was spared. To God be ascribed the honor, though the services of
Dr. Higgins were had.
Wilford is living in the city, has quit farming, and is now engaged
delivering goods for Z. C. M. I.
The visitation of such a heavy snow storm, at the season of the year
you wrote, is rather an unusual occurence for "Dixie," but none the less welcome to
the farmer and owner of stock. Our winter has been open and dry. We are threat-
ened with another dry season, which will be srerious for the farmers, as the
two or three past seasons have also been very dry. We have just had some very
nice gentle rains, which have moistened the ground and will be a great help to
plowing and seeding.
It looks now, in view of the constantly increasing labors devolving upon
me, as though I would not get an opportunity very soon of again disturbing the
fish and game of the pond, as in days past; but in that regard my inability or
disappointment will be their pleasure, no doubt.
Doubtless, the decision of the Supreme Court, for wich we are looking
hourly, will be a "mixture of good and bad." But we shall rejoice if any good
shall come to us out of thatrpolitico-judicial Nazareth. We will thank the Lord
for any right that may be vouschsafed to us, and for all favors we will praise Him,
