THE LINCOLN COUNTY MIDDLE.


The discharge of Donnelly from the
Lincoln county Jail has brought about
q decided action on the part of many
of the citizens. We yesterday received a
special dispatch from Phoebe, which
will be found in our local columns,
stating that on the preceding evening a
meeting of the bondsmen of the sew
eral county officials had been held Eat
which fifteen bondsmeu were presently
to consider the %propriety of withdraw
ing from the bonds of all officials. The
object OF such withdrawal was to have
the various Offices untitled. and thus
prevent the collection of taxes. OF
those present fourteen voted to per-
sue this course, there being but one
voice In the negative. A committee
was then appointed to wait upon the
merchants and others Of substance in
Phoebe and request them not to make
good the bonds withdrawn from. To
make it evident that the bondsmen
were actuated solely by the motives
alleged, a resolution was unanimously
passed expressing full confidence in
all county officials.
We regret to 9 our neighbors in
such a muddle and hope they will be
able to extricate themselves without
either r~epudiating their debts or dis
rupting their county organization;
but we must confess that, as far as we
are informed Of the situation, we do not
see that both objects IA at present be
attained. The Gold Hill News of Mon
day last contains some structures on
the course Of the Lincoln County
Commissioners in the Donnelly mat
tor, which, If we understand the affair,
are alike ungenerous and unjust. The
holders Of county bonds had, in the
cas- of the Odd Fellows s. & G. Bank
W.. Miles Quillen, laid an injunction
upon all the moneys in the treasury,
including the Current Expense Fund,
The rule perpetuating the injunction
has been sustained by the Supreme
Court, and there is not one dollar tc
pay the expenses Of either jail or hos.
pital. The Commissioners had nc
remedy. The Jail must be closed OF
maintained by private subscription OF
the prisoners starved. The cause o.
the trouble, we fancy, was an over ex'
penditure and over speculation in the
flush times OF 1S7O-7l-72-73; which
now that the asses sed valne of proper
ty has SO greatly fallen of, has left thu
community with a burden Of debt up
on its shoulders that it can not carry.

BETHEL.

Mr.. EDIToR:-As I see regular
correspondence from other places,
perhaps you would like a little from
Bethel; anyhow we will make the
venture. The expected corporation
is now the raging topic -four town;
at the election held last Saturday
not one vote was cast against it,
and with this certainty we are be-
ginning to put on city airs, after
awhile we may presume to vie
with your county town, minus the
courthouse you know We want
your readers that may be visitors to
the public exercises of our societies,
to be assured there will be no more
disturbances, for we intend to give
peace full sway, if plenty, especial
ly money, is far of, and woe to the
unlucky one that shall be found
obstructing or riding on the pave
ment. Even the ladies intend to
watch this, for they are tired of such
indignities. In fact we feel we are
on rising ground, and our streets
would no doubt say this if they
could talk. Our community has
the name OF being good, moral and
quiet. Home industry and I'M
provement continues. The sound
of the hammer and anvil is con
stantly heard, and six residences
have been erected and improved in
the last few months. Business is
rather dull just now, most of the
cotton has gone out of the county,
but barter is brought in abundant
ly. The spring session of our
school will begin the first Monday,
seventh of February, still under our
able President, DR.. r. B. Gardner.
We appreciate his valuable services
and intend to keep him as long as
possible. Report says the number
of pupils will be quite fiattering for
these hard times. Our church at
tendance is only moderate during
this winter weather, the pastor Rev.
John Sherrelr fills the regular ap-
pointments every first and third
Sabbaths and our local preachers
almost every second and fourth in
each month. Our Sunday school
is always alive, never goes into win
ter quarters, even the children three
years old attend regular, music
performed on the organ by teacher
or pupils of our Institute every
Sunday moraing and singing nights
We invite others to come and set
tie among us, and would be glad tC
have YOU visit us again. PAX.

where the Money is.


We don't know where the folio wing
comes from, but it gets pretty near
the secret of the trouble:
One of the peculIarities of the
times is the difficulty of obtaining
money. and yet there is more money
somewhere in the country, than at
any former period. The distrust
that has pervaded all over the coun-
try, including all ranks and condi-
tions of men, has caused those in
possession of money to hoard it up,
and some tall lying has been done
by this class of men-in saying that
they had no money. When the mo
mentary panic struck the country
eighteen months ago. followed by
grasshoppers in the West, and short
crops in the South, moneyed mems
minds were filed with fears and
doubts, and capitalists set all theiI
wits to work to collect every dollar
of Indebtedness that they could cal
in. A Boston millionaire, who die6
few weeks ago, actually had sever
al millions of dollars snugly hid a
way, doing no one any good. Mul
tiplied thousands ofnen all over th'
country now have countless millions
of dollars boarded up yielding then
nothing, while the country languish
es fo- the want Of circulating medi
um to carry on commercial and az
ricultural pursuits.

One tenn that Helps to Make zap
"The Hard Times"

From a lengthy and most excel
lent article in recent number OF the
Memphis Southern Farmer, we make
an extract giving some Of the Stats
tics upon the amount OF money spent
in the United States for whisky and
other beverages annually. There is
not a town or village in the land but
adds it's mite to the aggregation of
this immense sum of money which
is worse than squandered every year
We quote:
In many instances habits are con
tracted which only the rich can
afford. 1t is safe To say that the
habitual use Of wines, liquors and
beer, cost the people infinitely more
every year than the bread they eat
or the clothes necessary for their
comfort. Is this an extravagant es-
timateg Let US see: According
to the last census report, the people
Of the United States pay for iiqours.

Hundred Millions of Dollars every
yeari There are about fifty million
of men, women and children in the
| United States, and $60O,0eg, GOO per
annum is at the rate Of $1,000 per
capita for every being IN the United
State. This is guggliBg town wines
and liquors at the rate Of one mil
lion and a half dollars for every
thirty days. The people Of the state
New York alone drink at the rate of

the rate OF S42, 100000 per annuIn;
those OF Ohio, at the rate OF S58, 900,

much agitation about intempernnce,

down annually in the graves OF

The government entered the new
year with a debt of two billion two
hundred and twenty two million dol
lars, and with a cash capital Of less
than three hundred million dollars.
The sinking fund for the liquidation
of our public debt averages thirty
million dollars a year. The act
creating the sinking fund was pass

nothing happens, enough will be
saved to pay the national debt in
