most important for 1 could by no means tell
all that was going on in such a thrifty COM
munity.
The country now is just beginning to put
ON it's spring costume, aud right lovely it
looks, too, in its garment of green:
The farmers are busy-as farmers usually
are-ploughing for their corn, and grumbling
at the same time, which think is very wrong,
as the prospect for wheat is SO good it ought
to gladden. their hearts. The gardens are
looking quite ike spring, with their neatly
arranged beds and rows, but as yet nothing
can be seen, save a stray onion now and then.
But if we want to see sights and dream
dreams, and want to imagine ourselves in some
extensive city, or even at the Centennial, just
let US wind our way to Summit Point, where
the new goods of Wilson Bros. is enough
to make more than ono feminine heart futter,
and l haven't the least doubt that more than
one dart of pride has pierced a fair maiden's
heart as the thought of a new lawn or calico
which would be put on the next Sunday,
and holding a centennial parasol over her
dainty head as she went tripping to church.
But just hero words fail me on such a subject
as that; l can't possibly do it justice, and will
only say, all who want their money we'll in
vested had better come to sour city"
The excitement occasioned by our little
"Whiskey Ring" has somewhat subsidized, and
the whiskey is to be disposed of at public
auction Saturday, the 22d inst.
The political part of our community seem
to be keeping quite dark, not even q stray
ripple OF the third term can make them betray
their thoughts, they seem determined not to
speak, and we live in hopes that when they do
make up their minds to speak, we'll hear some
MISUNDERSTANDING the saying '.Blessed
am dem that specs nothing" we are most as
suredly looking for something, and hope it
won't be long coming. V. NJ.
