HIGH BOTTOMS of Sandy, Nov. 29. - There is nothing very exciting here,
but we will try to supply a few items. Rev. Joel HENSLEY is re-covering
his barn and sheds; H.T. TEMMING is schedding his barn, and others are
preparing to improve. Wesley MOCKBEE has moved to his farm, situated on
the south end of Sandy Mines. G.R. JOHNSON and son are building a
bridge for the county near Mrs. HENSLEY's, and doing a good job. Robert
BUREN is giving general satisfaction as school teacher. D.S. HENSLEY
and Mrs. MAHIER were buried in Sandy graveyard last week. Thornton
HENSLEY is still improving. J.K. CRESSMAN has moved onto the ADAMS

OBITUARY - DIED - November 24, 1887, at her residence on Plattin, Mary
PORTER, aged 75 years.
"Aunt Polly," as she has been familiarly known in the neighborhood for
years, was a native of Jefferson county, a daughter of Jeremiah McCAIN,
who was one of the first settlers of the county, and quite probably was
never out of the county in her life. She has a brother living, Mr.
Jeremiah McCAIN of Plattin. Her husband, Samuel PORTER, has been dead
for thirty years or more. She raised four children, all of whom have
families. Mrs. PORTER was a very active industrious woman, and her life
was one of toil. She had been a church member for many years, and was
recognized in the community as a good Christian woman. She had been
confined to her bed for about six months and, feeling that she was worn
out and her usefulness in this life ended, was anxious for the
transformation to that life of peace beyond, prepared for her from the
foundation of the world, and which she confidently expected to obtain
through the merits of a merciful Savior.
DIED - November 22, 1887, at his mother's residence on Sandy, Dorsey S.
HENSLEY, in his 34th years.
Dorsey was born January 27, 1854, of religious parents, and had the
benefit of good precepts and examples. He was high-spirited and
inclined to waywardness. His father, dying while he was yet young, left
a good deal of responsibility upon him as the oldest boy in the family,
and he discharged his duty faithfully. About six years ago he professed
religion and joined the Baptist church, and was a very active member.
He was superintendent of the Sunday school for years, and a good one,
being zealous in all he undertook. About two years ago he married and
located in business in Wayne county, Mo., where he had got a good start
in business. He had been home twice on a visit in the last three, and
his friends pretested against his going back, as his health was much
impaired; but, feeling that he could not abandon his business, he
resisted their appeals. His constitution surrendered to disease and he
was forced to bed, from which he was brought home to die after a month
of suffering. The Master has taken him to join his father and three
sisters, where there is no pain or sorrow, and his faithful mother,
loving wife, sister and brothers, are left to mourn, but their loss is
his gain.
