wheels Of society are sliding beck into
their old groves again, and order will
soon be restored In cur hand. Ihopc tho
time will soon come when North and
South will be united In the bonds Of
friendship and everlasting good wiz
toward each other; and may shame and
contempt fall on all those who attempt
ed to stir up strife and discussions
among the people. May the roaring of
cannon, the clashing of arms, and the
neighing of the impatient war-horse
be heard in our land no more forever;
but may peace and unanimity ever over
spread our country as the waters of the
sea cover the mighty deep. And now,
thank God, the down-trodden race lift
up their heads and rejoice in the bright
hope of ere long becoming men, and
being entitled to all the rights of free
men, and may our government, which
they have helped to maintain, ere long
do them justice.
On last Wednesday the Orion Broth
ers were in town with their circus. 1t
was very slimly attended-farmers were
too busily engaged planting corn to ut
tend the show. The people do not take
the interest in shows that they use to.
We came very near having big fight
in the evening. A young man by the
name of Titus is boarding at Mrs. Wares.
In the morning Ware asked him II he
would give up his room to the ladies
belonging to the show. He assented
willingly. In the course Of the day
Titus became intoxicated, and, the prob
ability is he forgot that he had given up
his room, made his way to the room,
and it was said by some that he acted in
an unbecoming manner. But he claims
he did not. One of the Orion brothers
ordered him out of the room. Ipresume
he made some saucy reply to him, when
Orton knocked him down, or partly; II
was severe blow and his face was bad
ly bruised. There was considerable ex.
element, and men took sides, IS they
generally do. 1t was thought there
would be big fight at night, but some
of the citizens talked to the parties and
quieted them partially, SO that the
show went on" Titus is very genteel
fellow when not under the influence o.
whiskey. King alcohol is generally the
cause of these troubles.
Business Is lively, and trade is good
It seems that made mistake in regard
to Vandever & Squire's store. I say II
was not intentional on my part. Ger
tainly do not wish to do them any harm
think they are men that will make
good citizens. They have a very good
assortment of dry-goods. We would no,
be inclined to say any thing against 4
1 man starting in business, because WI
want competition; our town and coun
try will support them all. l think oul
merchants are all selling goods cheap
Loudenbeck has opened a new furniture
store. We have three dry-goods stores
two grocery stores, one variety store
two harness shops, two blacksmfths, one
carriage and wagon shop, one silver
smith, one hardware store, and six doc
tors within the corporation-it is very
healthy Notwithstanding we have sc
many doctors; two taverns, both re.
spectacle houses; six warehouses; two
miliners and two saloons, which are OF
no great advantage to our town. Sim.
mons & Hanna have not completed theil
store yet, but hope to in few days.
