Our Scipio Letter
SCIPIO, May 7th, 1877
     We are not suffering for lack of rain at all. There has been plenty of it.
     Tops of potato vines are frost bitten.
     As a result of the festival held by the ladies last winter, the Presbyterian church now has a new carpet.      Rev. S. J. Brownson preached a sermon one evening last week especially to tobacco-chewers. We were not present, but from comments passed should judge the sermon was a plain one. Men should stop chewing or quit, at least, depositing spittle on church floors.
     A birthday party was given at W. H. Brown's on Saturday evening in honor of Miss Mollie. We did not have an invite and of course was not there.
     Mr. W. B. Goble has been near Rushville for the week past attending to the bedside of his grandchild, Ralph Corya, who has been very sick. We understand the child is getting better, and Mr. Goble will be home soon.
     The sale of Mrs. Eliza French's property took place last Saturday in the afternoon. The sale was made by E. M. Thompson, administrator.
     It is reported that Johnny Day of North Madison, was in town a night or two since, and that he was fleeing from justice, which sought to reach him for whipping his wife.
     Henry Lockbridge will burn a kiln of brick on John Sater's farm during the Summer. The brick will be used in building two school houses, one near Mr. Pease's on the old site, and one in place of the old Marsh school house.
     Our trustee has been sick but we learn he is now convalescing.
     D. M. Frazee will go to work this week to change the inside doors of our school house so that they will open outward. T.C.C.
