EDS. JEFF.-Our little village is i'm
proving considerable. Mr. L. Long
NOrth has Iiearly completed quite fine
building. In addition to n large and
welLarranged business room in the lower
story, he has a large and commodious
hail in the upper story. On last Wednes-
day night we had a rousing temperance
meeting in the hall, with three excellent
speeches, which were listened to with
great interest by nearly all the assembly.
| suppose, however, that some took
slight exceptions, as two buggy burrs
took their exit some where that night.
and strange as it may appear, they have
not yet returned. What a pity those
poor fellows have 10 keep all their fun
to themselves.
Messrs. Huff 6 Vail are doing good
business at their store, and DR.. L. S.
Lafferty is prospering in his Drug Store.
The worst evil we have to contend with
in our village is the beer and whisky sa-
looms, which are still in full blast, and
doing their work OF death. l wish all our
citizens well, in the way of honor, loving
and law-abiding men, but why can
not all be engaged legitimate businessl
There is surely an honorable. honest
calling for every one who seeks for it in
a proper way. OBSERVER.

THE packet Empire sank at the land
ing. in New Orleans, on the morning of
the 18th inst. The boat arrived at the
wharf at midnight, heavily loaded. The
Captain states that he was awakened be-
tween four and five O'Clock, by the con
fusion, and had barely time TO seize one
of his children and swim to the shore.
The boat went down so suddenly that
there was 10 chance for escape. About
thirty five are supposed TO be drowned,
The exact number cannot be ascertained,
as the books have not been recovered.
Among the lost ara four children OF the
Captain's-the oldest, a young lady of
seventeen, and the youngest, an infant.

THE Knoxville Chronicle says that of
the Senators to be sworn in with the
President in 1877, nine will be Demo
cratic, from these State: Arkansas, Del
aware, Georgia, Kentucky, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Twelve viii be from Republican States,
viz: from Illinois. Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island and
South Carolina; four doubtful, viz: from
Louisiana, New Jersey, Oregon and
West Virginia. The Chronicle thinks,
therefore, that even should a Democrat
ic President be elected, Republican
majority in the Senate for the first two
years can prevent bad appointments
and control mischievous legislation.

ACCIDENT
On last Sabbath eve, the youngest
son OF DIR. g. \. Dean, of our place, was
severely kicked by horse, striking him
just above the right eye. 1t WAS at first
thought fatal, but we met the Doctor
this evening, who informed us that he
was doing finely, and his eye was not
particularly injured. Respectfully,

Democracy and the Oranges.

Ever since the grange movement
developed into formidable combina-
ton, capable of influence in the poll
tics of the coun try, the Denocratic
leaders have been coquetting with 1t
in a manner not at ell reserved or del
icate. There has been an ill-conceal-
ed hope, not of honorable matrimony
we fear, but of the baser purpose of US
ing the grange organization to break
down the Republican party and res
tore the twice and thrice condemned
and rejected Democratic party to pow
er. The success In hoodwinking the
grangers has not been at all encours-
ging or commensurate with the eff
forts used, for In no State, SO far, has
the Democratic party evinced any
willingness to Withdraw its organizs-
ton and merge its factious forces into
the elementary masses of the people,
to be moved and governed by the
principles governing the grange or.
ganization. Here is the transporta.
tion bill, for instance, just passed hy
the Lower House of Congress. II
there is any measure pending In
Washington that is inspired and sus'
tained by the oranges. 1t Is the bill in
troduced and 30 eloquently and effect
ually championed by Mr.. McCrsry O
Iowa. It is q bill directly in the in
terests of the agricultural workers o
the nation, who feel Themselves over
weighted and wronged by the burd
ems put on them by railroad and trad'
combinations. But they have pulled
the bill through the House only b!
the severest struggle, aud against tn
opposing vote of every Democrsti
member Of Congress except five!-
These five were Holman and Wolf O
Indiana, Robbins of North Carolina
Kendall Of Nevada, and Luttrell o
