After attentively reading all the public
addresses which Mr.. Dennis Kearney, the
California communistic agitator, has delivered
since his arrival in the East, the Baltimore
american thinks he should borrow SO so from
his friend General Butler and hire somebody
to write new speech for him. His old one

Mr.. EDITOR: Our village blacksmith, j. s.
Gorrell, Is having his dwelling house repaired
and enlarged. Messrs. Lamb and Jordan are
doing the work.
W. H. II. Whiteford has nearly all the lumber
on the ground for rebuilding his barn lately de-
stroyed by lightning. Messrs. Barnes & Archer
furnish the lumber.
Somebody-strange to say, the wise ones have
not been able yet to find QUITS having the old

We Darlngtonians were surprised, last week.
Mr.. Wn. K. Mccain, general road supervisor
of this district, has paid us visit, and has ac-
tually beeni ,,airing the road through the village
something that has not been done for the last
12 or Is years. do not mean to say that in all
that time the road has not had some work; but il
might just as well have been let alone, as ii was
only waste of money, without any benefit -
We seem to have at least two ways to spend our
road money, viz, making worthless repairs and
loatng. One day this spring was riding along
Deer Creek, (under the Rocks,) about 9 o'clock
z. NJ, | found tools scattered along the road
for nearly half mile. wondered where the
workmen were, and found them pitchin1 g,toifs
Mr.. Mccain, knowing how badly we have been
treated, determined to have the road repaired
under his special supervision. The citizens of the
village have shown their appreciation of Mr..
McCann in numerous ways; among them he and
his workmcn have been shaking their thirst on
lemonade without stick, as we have abolished
that,) and staying their stomachs with lunches
of cake of various kinds. Some of the foremost
of these citizens were Mrs. Annie Wilson,
Messrs. John Ferguson, William Whiteford,
Thos. Reed, q. ID, Whitclock, F. NJ. Whitelock
IL Co.. and others.
Mr.. Mccain is Il pleasant and obliging man,
real gentleman. AS Il road supervisor he
knows how to do it, and does it. On our road he
has done a most excellent piece of work, and
fur eXcels his predecessors. The roads in gen
eral over this distrcta C in better condition than
ever before.
| do not believed in one man remaining in office
all his life, but do say, that when you have
man in office who can do the work of his office
better than new man, to turn him out is simply
foolish, and must result in the money being
largely squandered. Until we are certain to have
better supervisor, let us allow Mr.: Mccain to
continue in the good work he has begun.

that the current of popular appreciation should

depend the welfare and prosperity of the whole
