RIDGE SpRINa, March 3rd, 1873.
Dear 1dvsrtisc,,-As you have per-
haps not heard much Of the progress and
improvement of our beautiful Village
lately, have determined to sit down
this morning and give you few inter-
esting items.
Ridge Spring is growing steadily and
carefully. Many Railroad villages, as
you we'll know, grow in mushroom
style, but it is not so with Ridge Spring.
Our inhabitants have o far-seeing spirit
OF enterprise; and their wofks already
verify this Assertion. Our buildings are
not only erected with neatness, taste end
elegance, but also with view to perma-
nence, as if our citizens meant to live
and die hereto set up here their ever
lasting rest. In fact. things, look as if
Ridge Spring, is destined to be place OF
enduring Importance. Trade here is
steady and remunerative, and our mer-
chants, one and all, seem to be satisfied
with the amount of business they do.
And still Ridge Spring cannot boast OF
such business as Johnston's; that is ii
the trade transactions Of the other mer-
chants there compare favorably with
those of Messrs T. Jones & Son, as we
have seen spoken Of from time to time
in your columns.
With the proceeds of the late sale OF
the Baptist Church lots here, the Baptists
are having their sacred edifice worthily
repaired and beautifed. Already the
pulpit has been moved from front to
rear, and very tastefully arranged. The
pews are also to be remodeled, and the
whole building repainted.
And soon we are to have an Episcopal
Church in our midst. The parties con-
cerned in this undertaking are very en-
thusiastic, and their energy will certain
| ly complete it handsomely. The lumber
is already being laid upon the site OF tue
new Church.
We have here also first-olass school,
presided over by lady whose very name
vouches for her character and intellect
Miss Sarah Furman. This school is su,
perintended by the Rev. Richard Fur
man, D D., whose learning and expert
ence make it rank amongst the first
schools in our State.
The sale of spirituous liquors is sth
prohibited here, and undoubtedly this
augurs we'll for the future tone and pros
perity of the place.
The planters in our neighborhood are
bouyant and active, expecting to become
yet richer and more fourishing by thi:
years labor.
And if the rich Northern people who
are buying homes so often i'll the South
now, would like to find spot which IL
wholesome climate and natural beauty
oan scarcely be excelled, Ridge Spring
is that spot. You ought to tell them thi:
in your spirited and intelligent paper
We do not, however, WOO the pcstilent
carpet-bag class.
Look out or some Of these Railroad
villages willsoutstrip the Capital OF tn
County yet. oPENrEfE.

OBITUARY.

DEPARTED this life, on the 2Sth Feb.
1873, Mrs. ANNA MARIA TERRY,
consort of JOHN TERRY, deceased.
She waa a,consistent menber OF the
Baptist Church for over forty years. She
had attained to the good old age of over
four score years. She was stricken
with paralysis and suffered long, but
with Christian patience. she bore the
trials and Affections incident to life until
death came and released her in the eigh-
ty-second year Of her age.
The Church feels vacuum that cannot
well be filled. The family, with large
train of connections, believe that their
loss is her eternal gain. Thus mother
in Isreal has passed away, leaving a
bright example behind her

The Troubles Increasing In louisiana
On Thursday last serious collision
OCCURRED in New Orleans between the
militia OF the lawfully elected Governor,
McEnery, and the City police-the lattor
in the interest of the usurping Custom
House, Kellogg, Grant party. Governor
McEnery denies giving the orders which
brought about this conflict. 1t is much
to be regretted that this contest was pre-
cipitated, as it will probably result in
injury to the people OF Louisiana. Or
ders issued to Gen. Emery from Wash
ington, Immediately upon the reception
of the news of this collision, show that
President Grant is determined to sustain
the Kellogg government by force and
arms, in the very face of the people.
And still the people show no signs Of
yielding. The bogus government is en-
throned by the strong arm of the United
States soldiery, but the people have
sworn to yield it no obedience. And as
the best means of thwarting and over
throwing it, they are even now holding
meetings in every County to resist the
collection Of taxes. They we'll know
that without money TO steal, the govern
ment will havo no charm for the usurp.
ers.
That the clash of arms has been heard
in New Orleans, and that blood has dyed
her streets, isdirectly to be imputed to the
President of the United States and the
Congressional leaders of the Republican
party who, for partisan interests, refused
to do justice to McEnery, the lawful
choice of the people of Louisiana And
still Grant talks about "republicanism"
and "cuiding stars"
