i Again has rolled around the time fol
our weekly notations, and as there has
been change Of proprietors we will
introduce ourselves again to the column
of items.
Beautiful weather, just such as our
farmers must regard as the seed time
promised in the ancient covenant. The
scholars of the M. E. Sabbath School
were jubilant on last Sabbath over the
change of Superintendants, Mr.. A.
Taylor having been chosen and elected
on the Sabbath previous. Mr.. Taylor Is
a gentleman well qualified and who
possesses energy and zeal and is capable
of filling the position, and will dis
charge his duty. Children may now
expect justice without distinction.
Rev. Ridg pastor of the Christian
Church, preached here on last Sabbath,
the attendance was very large and SER
vices were highly interesting. Sacra-
ment was administered to large num-
Der of persons. Mr.. Ridg is always re-
ceived here with joy and congratula-
tions, his sermon consists in clear, close
and logical reasoning, delivered in a
deeply, impressive manner. He gives
practicable advice and suggestions that
every one cannot fail to be profted
thereby.
We must tell the readers of the
CHRONICLE that Poorman was here and
on the evening of the 4th of this month
held forth in his usual style at the Ma
tional Mills, this building being used
for town hall in some cases. In the
first place some heartless wretch had to
herald his coming by sticking one of
the show papers which contained the
announcement on the front of our bran
new school house, driving it on with
nails penetrating the cement between
the bricks; in our humble opinion a
man who would do this is not fiji for
School director. How can we expect
children to adhere to rules of taking
care not to abuse the school house.
But we ara digressing, we're going to
tell you aAOut Poorman. We were
anxious to hear his introduction OF
apology for his present position. We
soon saw by his ranting haranoue that
his translation was complete. He vain
ly endeavOred to hurl an avalanche of
abuse on Gen. Grant under whose
banner he once pretended to march,
but his tongue seemed to cleave to the
roof of his mouth, he merely made out
TO howl something about Grant loving
horses and bull dogs. 81,
We consider his defeat certain, his
labors are great disadvantage to him.
His effort here has caused him too loose
many votes and Capt. Danford to gain
many. 1t is folly for Poorman to get
up and use the personal pronoun all the
time. He is well known here, Capt.
Danford is.safe from all his puny efforts,
truth is his champion and whatever
may be said or done they cannot turn
the great heart Of the people from him.
We know that Capt. Danford drew his
sword and staked his life, he left the
quiet und comfort of home and assum-
ed the dangers of military life, and not
like Poorman play off as the boys say
when danger was near. Never, mol
never, he dedicated his strength and
talent through years of toll and danger
to aid in overthrowing our armed eae-
mics; for him we are resolved to stand
faithfully and truly to the end. Grant,
Wilson and Danford is our watchword.
