SANTA FE ITEMS.

Our village is not at all lonesom now; we
have visitors in abundance. Almost every
day we have a detachment OF candidates
shaking our hands and enquiring into the
health of our iiL,i lies with great earnest
ness. We thank them Tor being 50 cOnSide-
rate as TO come only by platoons, as we Will
without losing too much of our time, which,
owing TO the very bad weather OF the past
two months, is particularly valuable TO us
Changers, in the hills, at this season.: We
have words of welcome and cheer for all that
come; we wish they could all be elected,
provided always, that said election would
cost the good people nothing. We have but
one very special agreement to make with
them all, and that we will enforce by con-
slant repetition until each candidate agrees
to it-that we must have turnpike from
Santa Fe to Columbia, SO the remaining
battalionS of this army that are yet TO come
may know that the only conditions by
which to hope for our votes in The Santa Fe
country, is 10 vote for good turnpike from
here TO Columbia, at each and every time
they may have such an opportunity. we
do think the road from here to Columbia
is the worst in the State, and there is no
blame to be placed on the overseerS and
hands, for they have done all they could do,
and now he rad, in many places, is nearly
impossible Yet, the road could be made a
good turnpike, easier than any other ten
miles in the county, because there is album
dance of rock and creek gravel in easy
reach of any point, to make ii good with
little hauling.
There Is a large lodge of Changers at this
place, organized some three weeks since, by
Mr.. Griffith, OF Nashville. There is promise
of II being quite success among the farm
erS of this section.
We have no school here now: Mr. Church.
we eII-.and- will begin his second ses-
sion soon, and has good prospect for a
school through the summer.
Business in all branches in the village 10
dull this spring. There are no spring goods
in yet, but our merchants VI 4Qqbtless MI
their empty shelves before the April show
eTS are over.
Rev. 7. J. Dixon, preached at the Cum
berland Church next week. That church has
been without pastor since Mr.. Robson
LEFT them, aud have beer trying to secure
the services of Mr.. Dixon, who is the special
choice of the people, and we hope they may
succeed in their efforts.
The Methodist Church pulpit this year
is tilled by Mr.. Graves, good man-an in
teresting preacher, and we believe general
favorite with both Methodists and Presbyte-
rlanS here
There is great deal of sickness around at
TINS time, especially among The children.
Our phy sicians, Ragsdale and Hume, seem
10 De busy all the time. The farmers pay
out niue attention to the village now, eX-
lost time at home
