Editors OF The Register
The great eventful day the fifth OF
November has come and gone-the
great political battle fougbt-the victory
claimed and Prince Hiram with the
Republican crew is master Of the situa-
ton, and has at least four years more
in which 10 give and receive rich pres
ent. And our poor battle>worn Demo-
crals will still hold and claim the privi-
lee to grumble and complain. We
humb,y trust that the sad disaster TO
the Democratic and Liberal Republican
party may cause their leading liz hts
10 calmly and carefully survey the
causes aud circumstances that brought
about this defeat, 80 that they may be
better able to guard against a similar
ate in time to come, for We don't intend
to give it up 80. Truth may long be
crushed and tramplei in the dust, but
is ever right, and will and must prevail.
We may be "cast down but not de-
stroyed." The people here did not
manifest much intere in the election
anyway, but still enough voted to
keep the Democratic banner OF equal
rights floating over the common interest
OF the people OF Rosne.
Our law making department are now
getting their traps ready tor a temporary
sojourn at the Permanent Sea" and
we hear good many remarks made as
10 how they can all get there the best.
Some propose fitting them out with
sang boxes AMI knapsacks and let them
sang their way through. But TO be
sober, we trust all will get there safe
and do their duty as faithful representa-
lives in guarding the interests OF our
thriving Young u ountsin State. Surely
much OF our future prosperity depends
upon w;se ard judiclous legislation
this wint,r. Our people generally are
full OF faith and hope OF a better day
coming May they not be disap-
pointed.
Well, at last stern Cd winter, with
all OF mis- buster, ice and snow, Is upon
us and to-day, the 10Th old mother earth
is sporting a robe of spotless white, he.
ing the first snow OF this fall. Our
farmer friends have had a fine, propl
tious fall tor TO DO up all Their work
and be ready for the winter davs The
corn crop is one among the best ever
harvested in this county, being sound
and well filled. Perhaps more than al
average amount Of wheat was sown
this fall, which generally looks well,
considering the dry weather OF Sepien-
Der and October.
Our hunters are now having a gay
time with gnn and dogs, hunting the
nimble deer, OF which there are still a
good many in the extensive forests OF
this county. Plenty OF wild cats and
toxes roam nearly unmolested, TO the
destruction OF msny farmers lambs aid
chickens.
General good health pervaoes our en- E
tire community, yet the stern messenger
Death will now and then lay his icy
hand on some of our fellow morta,s.
Died, a few weeks ago, Mr. John Hall,
one Of our old citizens OF Spring creek,
of disease Of the heart.
The postoffice at Boggsville, on the
route from Spencer to Burning Springs,
is discontinued for want Of keeper.
