Cur Village.


During the year 1902 cur village in its husi.
ness relations has for the most art been in
nc>l utus condition. Our uoGcsmtn of every
hind have been lusily engaged in their various
lusu:ls and Icartd n itasoralle reward for
Heir il dusty and emeluize. DuirG The
warm season great numbers Of Strangers came
from the cities and various Parts of The country
to srcrd few weeks in This healthy climate and
recruit their wasted energies; willie Others
csme TO ,isit their native place and see their
friends. And while the r, gimenis were here
preparatory to their ltn,irg for the "tenled"
field. The Village Was htnely c,ammcd with
people, and everybody had a. much as he could
turn his haud to.
We have also noted s'me Improvements du-
ring tie year in l,faid TO uidirgs. ]. n.
Thorn has greatly improved the ulrler pant Of
High Sutet l., eioclii fire tasteful dwelling
house and buildings connected theioto, ard by
laying out his grounds with neoness and good
taste. Charles Thompson has improved the
looks Of The old Whitney place since he pur-
chased and took possession of il, removing the
tfice where Judge Whitney did business for
many wears, and repairing the buildings; and
tlampden QUITS hns been erecting spa
ti,us Gwclil Louise IN The lot north Of the
Chaplin place, which is a great improvement, to
that pan Of the village, viii t other improve
mens greater or less have been made III other
localities.
On the other hand the burning of the Asy-
um is serious calamity. on account OF the
loss of property, and still more on account OF
the inconvenience Of providing for the wants
and the comfort of the patients. This however
by the energy of the Superintendent and his
associates will seon lie r6medied, and things
will go on again in ileir accustomed way. We
have TO lament The loss by death of large
number of valuable men and women WHO az
Tor many years taken an active part in the af
fairs of the village who went in and out dsil,
among us winning our respect and esteem, anc
whose memories We cherish with fund affection
We have also sent TO the war large number
Of our brave men who have exposed thei
health and their lives in the cause at ihe
country and of liberty. With the changes an,
the experiences of the past let us do the worl
now in hard with courage and perseverance,
knowing that the hes; preparation for the flu
ture is TO be faithful 10 The pestnt.

the West that Gen. 1,ozrclans after most
bloody and severe battle of several days has
taken possession Of Mulfresboro, Tenn, where
the rebels under Bragg bad strongly enlrenched
themselves, and has driven them in all dlrec-
tions. Mkt We have information which seems
trustworthy, that NickShulg, Miss, has fallen

THE GREAT DAY HAS DAMNED.

At length the great day, so long looked for
ward 10 hy the pra,eriul and the good, has
downed upon our land. After a long night OF
fear and doubt and decentralization, our Presi.
dent, on the first day of the present year. dared
to stand forth and declare JUSTICE as the will
of the American people. Man is 10 wrong and
Cypress his fellow man no more within our lin
its with the consent of the American nation.
We are on The side Of Justice and truth, al last.
and We may rest assured that "TRUTH is mighty
and will prevail"
All cur troubles-all our blood-shed and
waste OF treasure, have come from our poti-
teal eforts-more cunning than wise-to stop
the course of justice, by oppoing to it noun
tain OF c'imei for slavery is nothing but an
odlous crime. He who advocates il hereafter
