Christmas is past and Trouts Hill
seems none the worse, notwithstand-
ing the day previous was celebrated
by few of those, who "tarry long at
the wine." A protracted meeting
was in progress during last week, but
it resulted 10 very little good.
The weather has been very disa-
greeable for some time past, creating
great deal of sickness. DR.. Morris
Is busily engaged in his profession
attending the sick in the upper end
of the county.
Our neighbors complain very con-
siderably Of the hard times; yet they
seem 10 think that the harder the
storm the sooner over; and look for
Yard in hopes Ct better Gay Al
Kinds OF business seems rather un-
promising now, even tie liquor traf-
&c is somewhat impeded owing to
the severity of the law. The firm
known as Burgess & Bandy, have
succeeded in arresting two more of
the Virginia point chaps, and they
are now The guests Of Mr.. Ruby Of
the Giant Hotel These make four
who are awaiting their trials. We
hope that they will conclude that it
is indeed an Improbable business
and hang their demUohns on the
willows and resort to more rcspecta-
bic modes Of earning livelihood
The new road law has created some
hopes among our people, that we
may be ablc to have better roads, as
no person being unacqualDted with
some Of our roads can conceive the
condition Of them and the necessity
Of their improvement. We hope to
see overseers appointed, who will per
form their duties with some interest,
and make a grand improvement on
our roads.
1t is rumored that we are to have
newspaper published in our midst
with II. Clay Ragland as editor
This is what va need. We earnest
ly hope that the scheme may not be
abandoned, but that we may have a
tirs,-class paper of it, for We doubt
not Mr.. Ragland', ability to make it
such.
We are glad to see Senator Wiki
iiuson and Delegate Ferguson in
town again, as they are indeed ornH-
ments ID our town.
We are glad to see your excellent
paper rapidly gaining circulation
with our people. All acknowledge il
20 be the best issued 10 the district.
What ". want now is substantial
democratic organ, one that the dem o,
Gratis can rally atound, and this We
find in the INDEPENDENT since it pass
ed into the hands Of its present
managers.
We anticipate lively time in this
section at the coming canvass, and
We here in Wayne. are DESTROYS o.
