The Nj. T.. Church Is being re-
painted and otherwise repaired.
Martin Butcher and Lyman Cop
len started last night for Colorado.
Geo. W. Brockus has purchased
the interest OF James Spencer in the
grocery and restaurant OF Spencer q
Waltz
The marshal is engaged in the
street working business, but we don't
believe his efforts will result in much
Improvement
Our ferrotypist kicked at boy
through a window, and has had his
foot done up in a rag ever since. The
window needs some repairs, but the
boy is all right.
What difference there is. Some
persons are continually fretting, while
others can resign themselves to any
fate-forcibly if they must-and be
apparently happy.
&C. ID. Chapman, without a roos-
ter" of Plymouth, rusticated at his
fathers, in Fulton county, a few days
last week. He looks rather delicate.
Quinine and iron, Charlie.
Mrs. Johnson and daughter, Of
Benton Harbor, Mich, are visiting at
DR.. Gould's. Miss j. is qnite a favor
tie. and her musical accomplishments
are highly appreciated by those who
have an ear for sweet sounds.
Judge Petit has done gone and
written a card, swearing eternal ven
geance on the Democratic party.
Well, it does seem d little rough for
few men to undo what whole state
has done. Judge Petit is just as
good man to-day as the was ten
years ago, but then there are some
queer operations.
Everybody has something to say
about the Cincinnati convention, and
speculations are rife as to who will be
the Presidential nominee. We did
have man-have one yet-but we
will make DO bets on the result. Any
one Of the prominent candidates is
good enough for any good Republi-
can, and we await the decision OF our
chosen delegates without any degree
of alarm.
Don't forget the Walnut town
ship Republican convention next Sat-
urday. Time, 2 o'clock, p. m. A live
ly interest will be manifested and a
good ticket nominated. None but
good men are spoken OF in connection
with the various offices, and the
Democratic nominees may as well be-
gin to prepare for an excursion up
that politically historic river, the wat
ers Of which are said to possess de-
cidedly saline taste.
Everybody we meet is either a
candidate or special agent OF some
one who is. The first person we meet
endeayors to convince us that par
ticular aspirant is an angel, and ought
to be translated, while the next one
says he is demon and ought to have
been in the cremation oven long ago.
We smile, sw eetly smis, try to be as
neutral as "a solution Of soda and vim
egar, and feel happy because we are
not an offlce-seeker.
The people Of this locality, no
doubt, desire an era OF peace-except
it De political squabbIe-and there
fore we would advise correspondents
to beware of reference to "resigna-
TONS" defeat offew enemies, ""flying
colors," etc., as other parties will I'm
derstand the facts. Indiscreet refer
ence to the matter might lead to the
complete occlusion Of the orifice
through which certain persons are
permitted to stealthily creep. We
speak thus for the benefit Of all con-
cerned, and trust that "a word to the
WISE" &c.
Last Friday morning Finley En-
mons passed through this place, hav-
ing in custody the man who stole (or
is supposed to have stolen) his team
and carriage. He stopped long
