Christmas O~hservnnees.

1t Is we'll known that one OF
the usual methods Of observin o
Christmas in Jonesboro'. is by the
shooS'ago OF various kinds OF Ere arms
guns and pistols upon u streets. We
have known ladies and children intimi.
dated in this way from appearing on
the street. And last year, even the
Vhrlstmas service at Church was inter
Tered with in this way. Now we are
not opposed to fun and we are anxious
that all the young folks should have
JSst as good q time on Christmas day
rs possible. But in the name of our
citizens generally we do protest against
surrendering the safety and quiet Of
our streets in this way. These are
public passways and no discrimination
in regard TO them should be made in
favor Of any n class of our people
over any other. We can zee no more
reason why possession Of our public
highways should be given to n crowd
OF our own young people, with guns
and pistols in their hands. than to n
crowd of savages from Feejee. The
right Of way belongs to every citizen.
We submit also that it has q very dis,
graceful appearance, and is likely TO
bring our town into ~disrepute, barring
all the possibilities of accidents TO life
and property.
Is it not possible that our honorable
Board of Mayor and Alderman can
take some efficient steps against the
use of firearms Of any description up.
on our streets next Christmas? We
feel sure that the sentiment of the com.
munity will sustain them. And more
than that, they will receiv. the most
heartfelt gratitude of our citizens.

House Burned,

The house from which Rebecca Simp :
son n,oved,on Cherokee. last Monday. was
burned on the night following. 1t was
understood that q woman whose ways
were dark" was to have moved into the
house On Tuesday morning. In that
neighborhoOd reside many good and up
right citizens, and although we are Of the
opinion that they would not assist in an
aes that is criminal. We are informed that
they rejuice o7er the Obstruction Of the
house But we are opposed to house bunr>
ing as the law point. out a different
way to abate a nuisance. We understand
that a married man, who has a decent
and respectable family, bad bought the
house for the woman, with whom be has
been associating too much to meet with
the appreciation Of his ~neighbors. The
loss Of the house is indeed n small mat
ter to the punishment that he deserves for
forsaklug loved cnes at home, and giving
his attention aud money to such a woman.
The man who is guilty of such an act GER
tainly deserves the severest punishment
that can be inflicted according to the laws
of our State.

Something about the Columbus
Wagon Road

We expect our contemporaries In the
Great and virtuous East will read onr
head line and then stop up both ears,
shut their eyes and howl. They will
expect to be bored as we used to bore
them in the earlier and pur.r days with
this appalling snijoct Bnt they need
not fear. We are going TO strike another
key. So far as the Columbus Wagon
Road itself is concerned, it is done. Our
Columbiads have been said and sung,
and the works been done and now We'll
banish sorrow-which is something like
the refrain of an old song. Well, what
We are saying is this That we have
found ont something explanatory of our
query OF the other day. why do the
teamsters who do the hauling 10 and
from Columbus, prefer the long, dry
road from Wadsworth to the easy grades
and we'll watered road built to Columbus
by Carson?" The answer is full, straight
and ample: The tolls and public house
charges are too high. That's what's the
matter. There bridge here and q
pike there, and here an eating place
where the price of meals is run up, and
there a stopping place for the night
where the expenses are considerably
greater than Mister Teamster is willing
to stand. Now We know OF q stirring,
energetic man. fortified by some capital
of his own and educated in the school
of experience, who will, if he gets any
adequate encouragement, build road
which will tap the Columbus road, and
which, when completed, will accommo-
date the teamsters at rates greatly below
the present. charges. When this man OF
energy and snap gets ready to
move his works and lreak ground We
propose to stand in and help him. We
think We see a plan whereby our now
Columbus road can be made
available in directing trade. travel and
traffic through the channels in which
runs the prosperity OF Carson.
