Show CLARKSTON ITEMS. Editor Leader:-The farmers of Clarkston are busy putting in their crops, but the larger proportion of this work is yet to be done. The day school is in charge of Bro. A. G. White, who has lately had to call in the assistance of his wife Sister Frances White. Bro. White has an excellent reputation here, as a school teacher; he is also a proficient penman, having executed some fine specimens of that art. On May day Bro. White and lady accompanied their pupils upon a holiday ramble. The party enjoyed themselves well. Whooping cough, and measles in a light form, prevail to some extent. Some are suffering with lung fever, and a few are afflicted with rheumatism. I should have mentioned, in connection with May day observations, that notwithstanding the heavy demand for muscle in the fields, a dance was had on the evening of May 1st. The various public institutions of the ward such as Sunday School, Mutual Improvements, Primaries, etc., are in good condition, and have been lively during the winter. All seem to be at peace, and hopeful of the future. Respectfully, A. Clarkston, May 2d, 1882. |
