There isn’t much visiting around
since the Xmas holidays are past, as
news of general interest is lacking.
But we want this section to be
represented occasionally in the
columns of the “News”.
J. T. Martin is quite ill.
Lester Kelley and other relatives
whose names we did not learn have
been visiting D. M. Kelley.
J. M. and Will Foster and Emmett
Holsclaw were in Louisville a few
days last week.
R. B. Holsclaw has been sick, but is
better.
The Xmas holidays were saddened
for Mrs. R. P. Sharp by a message
stating that her grandmother was
dangerously ill at home of her
daughter near Paris. This message
was followed shortly by news of her
death.
Maurice and Dorothy Foster have
returned home after a visit with their
grandmother Foster.
Mrs. Aldena Barrall spent the week
end with her teacher, Miss Margaret
Hardesty.

Transcribed from Microfilm by Edith Blissett in the year 2004
We have heard that J. M. Foster has
sold his farm, but we hope they will
not leave our neighborhood.
We trust that many readers of the
“News” read the article, “Shall the
Davis Memorial be Completed?” in
January 17 issue of the Courier
Journal. This stirring statement of
facts, written by E. Polk Johnson for
the “Confederate Veteran” is
addressed to the entire Southland
and surely moves the admirer of
Jefferson Davis.
We wish our Editor might find space
in his columns to publish it in full so
that all who missed it might yet have
an opportunity to read it. It is well
worth publishing and reading as we
feel sure all justice loving people
would agree, whether or not they
love and reverance (sic) the name of
Jefferson Davis.
