We had the pleasure of witness
ing a grand concert given by the
pupils of Miss Sallie Downing's
school at Millville last Friday night.
It was nice indeed, and was ac-
knowledged by all present to be a
complete success; though it could
not have been otherwise under the
superior management of the accom-
plished preceptress in connection
with the hearty cooperation of her
students, among whom were Misses
Pattie f., Ada Nc, Emma s., Ada
S. and Lou B., who appeared as
models of beauty and pictures of
innocence, as they came upon the
stage with eyes brilliant with Joy,
while DER their faces played smiles
such, as poets tell US, ''none but an
gels wear" All, both ladies and
gentlemen, large and small, acquit-
ted themselves admirably, giving an
entertainment that pleased every
one, both grave and gay. Messrs.
Bass and Williams favored the au-
dience with some Of their splendid
mu sic on the violin and banjo.
Our fellow citizen, G. L. Steven
son, raised the finest Irish potatoes
of the season. If you don't believe
it call on him some day about horn
blowing time, and he'll show you
how nicely his wife can tx them
up. Then, our friend WILDER NJ. S
asks those who don't believe that
/ he an raise fine sweet potatoes e
come over and see some Of the
finest ever raised about Bethany.

BETHANY AGAIN.

Rustic life is indeed delightful at
this season, more SO than any other.
1t is just when the farmer is busily
engaged in gathering his corn, cot
ton and other products of his year 5
toll, while the breeze, mingled with
the smoke Of Indian summer, loos-
ing the leaves from the forest trees,
noiselessly conveys them to the
earth below, where the brown nuts
rattle down at every autumnal blast.
Everything is moving on quietly
in our vicinity at present. Messrs.
Jno. II. Stevenson and Joe s. Cliff
in company with Misses Ella Mel
son and Mamie Wilson are absent
on a visit to Prospect. We shan't
say anything about the young Ia
dies, but it seems that there is some
body down there who possesses
great attractive powers, as the
minds of several of our young men
are continually drawn in that direc-
ton. That's just exactly what the
General says"

The democracy of Lincoln county
never sleeps, and is never even
caught mapping. She had two dem
ocratic candidates for Floater, and
one Nicks, thinking it a good op-
portunity to slip in, came out on the
eve of the election as a republican
candidate, and the democracy of
glorious old Lincoln, always true to
the party, true to herself and true
to her county, promptly called a
convention and nominated Mr..
Goodwin-Bobo and Goodwin hav-
ing consented TO abide its action.
We invite attention to a report of
the proceedings elsewhere.
People may damn parties and
politics as much as they please, and
refuse to be led or controlled by
them, but there is no other way to-
reform the government, or correct
the abuses inflicted upon us by rad
zeal misrule, except through party
discipline and close party alliances.
If a man oppose radicalism, it is his
duty as a good citizen to fight with
the party that has the strongest or
ganization and is most likely to
overthrow it. There Is no strength
in division. There is no success in
dissention. Independents are no
thing but dissenters. They never
accomplish anything but the defeat
of parties they claim to sustain.
Beware of Morris. He is a dis
senter. Nothing more, nothing less.

A Bold Robbery.

On Tuesday evening 18th inst,
about O'Clock, as Rev. r. A. Fa-
gan was driving along the road in
Madison county Ala, with the back
curtain to his buggy down, some
one ran up behind, and, cutting in
four places the string which held
on his valise, seized the valise and
ran into a dense thicket on the road
side. Mr.. Pagan missed the valise
very soon, and returning to the
place, found the strings and mis-
sheepskin lying in the road, but the
robber had fed. His tracks were
visible, and Mr.. Pagan thinks he
was a white man wearing a No. 7
shoe. The contents of the valise
were worth $4,000, and part of the
loss was sustained by the widow of
Rev. Heartwell Brown. Her con
ference money amounting $500,
was in the stolen valise. Mr.. Fa-
gan was left without even a clean
shirt, or a dirty one either. This
is the boldest robbery we have heard
of for many years in these parts.
Ex-Gov. Jno. c. Brown, V. 2. of
the Texas and Pacific Railroad, has
just been also elected Attorney for
the same by the Executive commit
tee. Great wisdom was displayed in
the selection. Gov. Brown stands
at the head of the legal profession in
America, and there is not a more
untiring, active man, nor a more
brilliant intellect to be found. We
congratulate the Committee and the
company they represent, as well as
all the people interested in the
great national enterprise, upon the
selection of such an Attorney.

A CLOUDi DISPELLED.

Yesterdays Enterprise contains a
very excellent editorial on the min
ing tax question The silence of The
Enterprise on this subject led many
property-holding Republicans to sus-
picion that something was wrong.
Citizens generally we're discussing
the matter As one which would most
likely be important in the ensuing
campaign. The Democrats were Juol-
liant over the prospect of having an
issue tina. would help their cause, and
it was the silence of The Enterprise,
The Gold Hill News and The Appeal
which caused the party in ormsoy
county to raise the standard of ''no
repeal of the mining tax Had
The Enterprise spoken out at the
time this paper took hold OF the sub
iect the Democrats would have been
spared their pains and the Republic
cans would have been less fearful 90
. disruption in their party. But our
excellent contemporary has at last
raised its voice, and its meaning Is
unmIstakabie. 1t declares that no
Republicans in the State are in favor
of repeal of the law, and that the
mining men are as one on the just
ness of the tax. The latter claim,
however, in common with other
property holders, that the rate OF tax
alton is too high, and that a general
reduction would meet with popular
favor
We believe now that the people
may safely rest this agitation. For,
as We pointed out in a previous issue
the method necessary to a repeal OF
or rather to doing away with the
process 10y which the tax Is now col
lected would involve some knotty
intricacies If not some practical I'M
possibilities. A radical change Of
the constitution would be necessary,
and inasmuch as that operation al
WAYS rests ultimately with the peo-
pie, it could not be accomplished,
Ii will now he in order for The
Gold Hill News and The Appeal 10
wheel into line and lend their voice
toward dispeliing all nervousness I'm
der this head.
