A WryTEp's NIGHT on Big STONE LAKE
[Orionville Dig stone county Herdtd.l J.
Tuesday morning Mr.. A. Shandorf started
from Browns Valley to OrtonyilIe with a
load OF wheat. taking the Lake road. He
cot within four or tive miles OF this place
before night, but owing to the storm IL
grew ante dark before he could reach
town. and, 10 add to the difficulty, one horse
stepped into a hole in the ice where some
one had been fishing, and was so lame that
he could hardly travel. In very short
time Mr.. Shandorf was so bewildered by
the snow he could not see how to drive, the
ice collecting over his aud his horses eyes
until they were totally blind for the time
being, and the team kept travelling around
in a circle all night. When 1t came daylight
Yesterday morning he was close 10 town.
Strange TO say, he was but slightly frozen,
but he never wishes 10 experience such an
other night.

MURAr HALsrEAD, the Fieid-Marshal OF
the prcss-gang, has been interviewed on the
GRANT boom. He says that it Is bis prayer
morning and night that General GRANT may
not be nominated; and he refused to tell
whether he would support General GRANT
II nominated, saying that if the Democrats
should run a good man against GRANT he
would hardly know what to do.
Coming from the most astute Republican
editor in the West, who speaks for that
influential journal the Cincinnati Com
merciql, these outsivings bode no good to
the promoters OF the third-term boom.

II there Is any State In the Union whose
Republicans would be expected to try
to capture II by nominating soldier, II IS
Indiana. That State is 80 welded to the
Democracy that unless the twain can be d.
vorced by military hero, it will surely
give its electoral vote TO a Democrat next
November. Yet the canvass OF Republican
preferences in that State so far as it has
progressed shows, amongst the leading Re-
publicans, 342 votes for BLAINE, $40 Tor
SHERMAN, $50 for GRANT, and 139 Tor
others.
There is evidently no GRANT boom in In

RICHMOND. VA, January /, 1880.
M WITH THE BEGINNING OF
THE NEW YEAR we greet our numerous friends
and patrons with our best wishes that it may bring
to each and all much prosperity and happiness.
We thankfully appreciate the patronage extended
ia us during the past year. We bespeak of our old
customers, as we'll as the many who have not dealt
with us in the past, liberal share of their fayors
since with an increased number of customers we
will be better enabled to maintain our plan Of selling
the best goods at the lowest prices.
We find by actual experience that the larger the
quantity OF goods we sell the lower we can afford to
sell them.
We ask, therefore the hearty and earnest sup
port Of the community in our efforts to keep down
goods to the lowest prices, assuring them we shall
ever use our utmost endeavors TO do so, and trust
10 their generous patronage to show that our efforts
are really appreciated

The Arkansas little Rocky Ga
zette says: "This city is called Little
Rock because there is no little rock
here. IN O. Picayune.
Some nine or ten years ago we
were in Little Rock, and while there
made a visit to what is known as Big
Rock, a large hill or mountain of al
most solid rock, some two miles above
Little Rock, on the opposite side of
the Arkansas river. There we met
an old man, who informed us that the
place took its name from huge rock,
about the size of an ordinary ware
house, which is near the present
steamboat landing, aud it was called
Little Rock in distinction from Big
Rock. which in earlier days was the
best known place OF the two.

"LET US HAVE PEACE"

at the January meeting of the Po-
lice Jury proposition will be SUBJ
mitted to them to go ahead and
secure the building of a court house
at Colfax. If any one opposes this
plan, let them ''speak right out in
meeting" and let it be known. The
desired conditions relative to the To-
cation of the parish seat at Colfax
have been agreed to by the owners
OF the property here. and it appears
to rs that this should settle The mat
ter. Unless there is most serious
opposition to the acceptance of this
offer between now and January the
Police Jury should accept it. The
conditions are perfectly fair, and are
all that have ever been asked for by
the people of this parish. Let us
have no unreasonable and captious
objections now that there is an OPP
portunity of setting this question at
resi- in the most satisfactory way.

LYNCHING IN SABINE.

The Shreveport Standard holds up
its hands in holy horror at the cool
account the Sabine Index gives of the
lynching of two horse thieves, who
were taken out of the Macy Jail and
shot to death on the night of Nov. IL.
We are told that this sort of thing is
no rare occurrence in Sabine parish,
not less than eight or ten alleged
thieves havi0g suffered the same fate
within the last few years. We agree
cordially with the Standard in con-
demnation of such occurrences, which
are shame and disgrace upon the
good people of Sabine, and speak
poorly for the civilization we profess
to be governed by. Had such an un-
demanded measure taken place here
in Graut the outcry would be loud
against this srioting parish" Thank
heaven, tue days OF bloOdslied and
lawlessness are over, and Grant can
point to record for the past six or
seven years that will do honor to
any parish 10 the State. The law
abiding citizens of Sabine should
combine to put a stop to such occur
repces, which, in this instance, as in
all others, we are satisfied. few hot
beaded and irresponsible parties have
committed, in opposition 10 the will
aod wishes of the bulk of those who
have the peace and welfare of the
community at heart.
