Edito $ Erchal 9e:
We think it our duty TO give you
an account Of our behavior once in a
while, though we have nothing of
much importancato publish. We are
blessed with very good health at pres
ent. The people seem to be in good
cheer; all peaceable and contented.
We have not been disturbed with any
thing Intoxicating this winter; but
have had some lively conversation
parties. We have also had 4 spends
id Sunday school, which survived
throughout the entire winter. We
had fall school yesterday, and both
old and young seem to lean to the
wheel of encouragement with will
ing and stupeudous power. Oar
school is much encouraged by many
beautiful and afecli0nate young ladies
who attend punctually. Mir j. NJ.
Townes, our old and faithful superin-
tendent, is absent ca a visit to Nir-
ginia. Mr. VIII McDougal, his assis-
tant, has charge Of the school. He
is man of considerable integrity, and
makes good leader.
Our old friend Taylor fell from
wagon the other day and broke three
of his ribs. He is improving fast
from his hurt ana will be 1T business
again soon.
Miss Nellie Prichard, a young lady
residing at j. NJ. Townes's, fainted
from a mashed finger and fell face
foremost in the fire and got badly
burned. The accident happened ii
few days ago. DR. L. F-Atkison
is treating the case. aud says that she
is improving fast. Dr. Atkison is get
ting a good practice, and is highly es-
teemed by the majority Of the people.
Wheat is looking well here, but
there was not as much sown as there
was last year Com will be scarce

Sanitary.
Editors ETctunJe:

Editors Ercbanye:
noticed several articles in your
paper in regard to the doing, of the
Old Board of Aldermen of oui town.
The Old city @ads" were pulled at on
all sides for doing things they should
not do, or for not doing things that
they ought 10 have doEe. also
noticed thatthe old Board passed sew
eral resolutions in regard to cleaning
up the town and removing certain
butcher pens and slaughter houses
outside the corporate limits. Now it
h been several months since those
ordinances were passed and printed.
But |, As an observer, have noticed that
there still remains inside the corporate
limits one slaughter pen which, &C.
cordiur to the ordinance. would have
a considerable sum Of money ctarged
against it. If our present Board Of
Aldermen do not intend to carry out
the laws made by the old Board, let
them rub them all out and make new
ones. But if they intend enforcing
them it is high time they were 5egin-
ming, as summer will lie here soon,
and with such nuisances as slaughter
pens and filthy yards and other causes
We cannot prevent an epidemic of few
er during the hot summer months.
Now, with due respect to all con-
cerned, we simply say that if yea
make laws to govern our town, they
will do no good unless they are en-,
forced. Business is business, aud all
we ask is to do your part III cleaning
up the town and the people will sure
ly do theirs. Very Respectfully,

In our style of climate, with its sud
den changes Of temperature-raiu,
wind and sunshine often interpingled

our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
direct from this cause. a bottle of
Boschee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will pre-
vent serious sickness, a large doctors
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con-
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia,
Severe Coughs, Group or any disease
of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist

privilege Of contracting the corporate

the office of Recorder and three AL

are $1,000 in debt with our streets,

terrible condition we can hut think it
