GlenAllen, Ala. April 6, 1887 - Sir, as the people round about Glenallen
seems to be very timid about writing, I will endeavor to give you a few dots.
The people was engaged planting corn last week, we are having a beautiful
spring for farming. REV. J. B. SMITH attended the quarterly meeting at Pine
grove on the second and third. Mr. D. W. LANGDON JR went home last
week. Miss LULA MUSGROVE married a few days ago to Mr. JAMES BURTON,
and will make her home in Walker County, east of Jasper. I will close
for this time. P. PATRICK

Glen Allen, Ala. May 24th '87 - Sir, I write to give you a few dots
for the Herald this week. The farmers are getting along with their crop
splendidly. There is but little cotton planted I this section this year.
Mers. J. P. & A. A. PEARCE has just received a large stock of Drygood
and groceries. Mr. GEORGE TREADAWAY, the young man who by the slight of hand
received several registered letters from the U. S. Mail packs some time since,
was arrested some days ago and carried to Fayette C. H. for trial,. He was
placed under bond for his appearance at the U. S. Court at Huntsville. No
doubt GEORGE will decide that robbing the mail is not very profitable. CONDON
& EAGAN has about completed their contract on the Kansas City &
Birmingham R. R. D. M. PATTERSON and JOHN LOWE got up with their work, and
had a little fight the other day. Wishing the Herald much success. I am Yours
Respectfully JACK DAVIS
