The attention of the farming commu-
nifty is especially directed to the adver-
tisement of these gentlemen, appearing
to-day. This enterprise is the pioneer OF
a new and independent branch OF pusi-
ness i'm his part of the country. The III
reduction OF machinery and modern inn
provements in agricultural operations
was an effort requiring energy and per,
severance, but this firm boldly ventured
upon the undertaking, and have been
successful. Theylhave inaugurated rev
whilst at the same time they have intro
duced those labor-saving machine that
render farming comparatively easy. They,
are prompt and liberal dealers and Will
Give satisfaction i'll all their transactions.

Vagrant and Vagrancy.

The Code of our Municipal Govern
ment in Article 10th, Section 1st and I'd,
contains the following ordinances:
SECTION 1st. Be it Ordained, That all
persons arc guilty of Il nuisance who,
having no apparent means of subsis-
tenee, neglect to apply themselves to
some honest calling or who saunter
about neglecting their business, or who
try to maintain themselves by indecent
or undue means, or who keep and eX-
hIbit any gambling apparatus of any
kin whatever.
SEC. I'd. BE IL further ordained, That any
person or persons found within the Cor
pOration, of the description named in
Section LIST, Article III, of these Ordi-
dinances. Such person or persons shal
be required to find sureties of good be-
hayiour; to that end, the Town Con-
stable shall procure and bring him or
her before the Mayor, or some Justice
OF the Peace of Washington county,
Tennessee, and on convection demand
securities for his or her good behaviour;
and in case of his or her refusal or
neglect to give the same, he, she or
they shall be committed to the work
house of the Corporation for not eX-
ceediEg five days. at the expiration of
which commitment, .he, or they shall
be committed shall be set at liberty. If
nothing criminal appears against the
accused, he, she or they paying all costs
and charges of said commitment, at the
discretion of the Mayor or Justice try
ing the case.
Every observing citizen of our commu-
n;ty knows that these ordinances are con-
stantly violated. There arc Il class of do
less characters who daily and nightly con-
gregate on the streets, yelling, shouting,
dancing and using all manner of prOlane
and indecent language to the infinite dis
gust and annoyance of the orderly peO-
pie of the town. These white and color
ed d~isturbrrs of the peace follow no call
ing and have no visible means of support.
These ordinances have a direct applica-
ton to their otfenses, and amply provide
thtir abatement. The Mayor. Board
of Aldermen and the Constable arc act
ing uuder the solemn sanction of a rigid
oath, and it is expected that they will en-
force the laws to the letter. Something
must be lone to relieve the town of the H.
creaSing curse of abandoned and lawless
characters, and we urge immediate action
i'll this important matter.

Thieves Still en- the Rampage.

Hieher necessity or constitutional vii
.alhy-perhaps both, but an o~yerbaIanc-
ing proportion of the latter-is leading a
number OF our people into the worst ex-
oesSes OF crime. Hardly a day passes but
We near or some foul perpetration, and
the thefts and robberies have become so
u as to cause but little comment or
aiaim. In u county, a humble of stores,
SHOPS, mills, granaries and smokehouses
nave suffered from the d~epredatiOns of
those who will either not work for an
honest living, or are driven into thieyerv
Dy the stern rigors of a lawless necessity.
we know that the provision supply is
equal TO, II 1T does not greatly exceed. the
demand, and we do not believe. especial
iy at this season, when farming Operations
require all the 4abor possibly to be ob-
tanned, that there is a single person i'm
our community able and willing to work.
VINO can not make an ample competency.
therefore, we are forced to the conclII-
SION that there is a set of men in our
midst who have adopted theft and rob-
Dery as a profession, and arc determined
that they will not work as long as they
can find anything to steal. The freaueu-
cy of theft, the boldness of the Williams.
together with the large amounts stolen,
are evidences of the existence of a large
and well organized band. There can be
no doubt as to the membership of such
an organization. Suspicion points to
that class, who have no visible ncome,
are always idle and yet. live somehow. In
this town, there are a number of money
less white and colored men with depend
ent families and able-bodied bows who
continually loiter and lounge around the
streets, and are never known to do a days
work. They rarely ever buy anything t.
eat, md it is a profound mystery to work
ing men, that are hard pushed at best to
''make tongue and buckle meet" how
these characters manage to subsist. The
fact is they steal, and with their little
earnings, from occasional ''small jobs"
they cOntrive to make out a canty living.
We urge our citizens to be constantly
on the alert, watch these worthless idlers
with the vigilance of a strong suspicion,
end, we prophecy it will not be long be-
fore we have indications that will reveal
the guilty parties.

The Fiends At Work.

Last Thursday night an iron bar, about
ten feet long, was placed OH the the Rail-
road track about half a mile below town.
How the 1870 p. NJ. train escaped a most
dreadful catastrophe surpasses human
theory and comprehension. The bar was
iound reXt morning near the track by the
section hands. There are two ;ndertations
corresponding TO the shape of the fianges
and the distance between them cores
ponding exactly to the width between the
wheels. The bar was placed on a down
grade and at a point where the train runs
at Its highest speed. The destruction of
life must necessarily have been fearful
had the engine been thrown from the
track. We are satisfied that some fiend
or fiends placed this obstruction on the
road to crafty a diabolical spite against
some train employee or more probably
She Railroad Company. The perpetra-
tor has proclaimed a blaek flag waraeain :
humanity, and If mob law Is justifiable
under any circumstances, it is the punish
ment of just such attempts at Wholesale
murder.

Church D~ediCati0nS.

Sometime since, the Presbyterians of
Strawberry Plains suffered the loss OF
their Church edifice by fire. The congre-
cation were not discouraged by this des-
truction, but went resolutely TO work and
have erected a handsome and capacious
structure upon the old Site Last oatur-
day. the new house of worship was con-
secrated to the service of the Great Head
OF the Church, Rev. Jas. G.. Mason, of this
place, preaching the dedicat0ry sermon.
The attendance was large and the services
witnessed with the deepest interest. The
Church, which is under the control OF
the Union Presbytery, is in a 1ourishing
and hopeful condition.
The friends OF Salem Church, at Wash
ington College, will remember that next
Sabbath week. the I'd Sabbath in May.
this venerable fount of piety will be re-
dedicated. The congregation anticipate
the presence of all who have interest in
the memories and history of the Church
and desires to live over again those joys
and triumphs which have blest In the

More Stealing.

Although the cheapest and most abun-
dant article of food. the thieves seem to
have a strong p%enclant for bacon. Par
ticular attention is paid to the depletion
of smoke-houses. The latest ION dit" is
the robbery of Mr.. John Keys meat
house, one night last week. As the ba-
con was hanging la different places, the
loser cannot tell how many pieces were
taken, but eckons his loss between one
hundred and fifty and two hundred
pounds. A search warrant was procured
and a hous of a VIGOROUSLY bad charac-
ter near town was ''inspected," and three
small pieces of meat were found. The
keeper of the Infamous den refused to tell
the officer how she came in possession of
them, whereupon the official arrested n
brought her to town for trial. On the
trial she proved an honest possession and
was released.
No clue to the thieves as yet.

of beauty and perfume. April, casting
down tribute-wreaths of leaf and flower,
passed out from the throng of welcoming
worsh ppcrs. 4 5enignant sky smiled
upon the happy Coronation. The birds
warbled new roundelays attuned to the
richest sweetness OF natures music.
Soft winds. ladened with the fragrant in
cense of grateful fields, orchards, mead
Ows and forests, kissed the cheeks of the
vernal empress. The new month brings
to us propitious tokens of a fruitful har-
vest, Frightening our lives and inspiring

be the lot of all who seek them Alright.
