MUSIC TEACHING
Some one or more of the members of our family have studied piano or organ
theory and vocal music with Prof. James Mayor during the winter term, and we are
well satisfied with the results of his instructions and recommend him as teacher
to all requiring his services;
Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Burton, Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Dailey, Mrs. Dougherty, Mrs.
Hopping, Mrs. H.C. Leedham, Mrs. P. Lee, Mrs. Morehous, Mrs. Parker, Mrs.
Reesman, Mrs. Randall, Mrs. Salter, Mrs. Royce, Mrs. H.C. Saunders, Mrs. B.
Saunders, Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Steadman, Miss Housel.

MARION
Mother Gossip has suspended under the pressure, consequently there is no
news items to interest the public. I am sorry to say, however, that your old
friend, E.B. Ogg, has been entirely laid up, or as he tells it, entirely set up,
from a distressing disease in the neck and head. The doctor says, it may be
rheumatism, or it may be neuralgia, or it may be something else, and as the old
man has never been subject to the two former, he thinks it must be the latter,
something else. At any rate, he has suffered a great deal for four weeks, and
has to set up day and night. and after exhausting all the medicine available he
becomes impatient, hunted up his old spring lance, divided a vein and let out
one and a half pounds of blood, and appears to be benefitted from it and sorry
he did not do that at first. He thinks old fogies out to live forever, he don't
go much on these new ways.
Mrs. Trant is sick. There does not appear to be near as much sickness in
this vicinity as there was in the fall and winter.
