“Old Hickory,” a local correspondent from Ferrellsburg in Lincoln County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Lincoln Republican printed on Thursday, February 1, 1912:

Mrs. Brook Adkins has finished her school at Low Gap and is teaching the last month of school at Sand Creek.

A.S. Adkins received a letter from Fisher B. Adkins who is attending school at Ripley and reports that he is well satisfied.

Philip Hager, county road engineer, passed through this place last Saturday en route home from Harts Creek district, where he has been doing some excellent work on the county road.

Burwell Adkins is on the sick list this week.

Dock Mullins, of Toney, was made happy when a bouncing baby boy entered his home on the 28th of this month. The mother and child are getting along nicely, and the father says that another republican has been added to the ranks.

Hurrah for Wm. H Taft for president for a second term.
