remarks:
Not d stick of wood from subscriber
since the present cold snap commenced
This is owing we suppose that almost any
kind would sell, and so the printer couldn't
even get rotten stuff that would sell to
nobody else. We have had to go out on
the streets for supply and pay whatever
price conscience scared traffickers had a
mind to ask, and cash at that. How is
that FOR high, We wood delinquents?
In his desperation, be threatens to have
GOOD or CASH from those owing him on
subscription.
Our exchanges are sharp after wood
dealers. The Laporte 1tyus, few weeks
since gave description Of the manner OF
piling wood in rack to be sold by the
load in that market. From the descrip-
ton We were led to the belief that the
loads there are shaped like razor blade
with the edge turned sky-ward.
Down this way, those who intend to
pay for their paper in wood, bring it right
along and that too of the best kind. The
poor oak limbs all go to the Democrat of
1 fee.

lives on the fat of the land, and sits by :

anybody could even grow hungry or colo
in this land of plenty, says-"I guess Fl

Editor Of Republican Permit me for
the citizens of Bourbon, to wish you a
happy New Year
Saturday was a lively time here, it ap-

Two of our lively, sparkling widows
were married last Thursday, or thought
they were, and if there was any mistake
it will be the preachers treat; but when
the preacher got through it is affirmed
that there was no Moore woman on the

ding excursion, on the cars; but it was

that there will be writ of replevin served

mouth, where they have been having an
interesting school for several years. The
tree was IA or 16 feet high, and at the
greatest circumference, about 20 or "a feet,
and was magniiicently arranged with nice
presents for the scholars. Also, by per-
mission, many friends took advantage of
thus communicating to their favorhes
many beautiful presents. The exhibit
ton was held on the evening of the
25th inst, with an estimated number
off from three to four hundred people pres

The house was called to order by SUI

then sang beautiful hymn, followed by
prayer, by Peter Jacoby After which
