A friend in Pcndleton sends us the fol-
lowing over the sign ture of "Jcmarasma-
lae:" "I had the pleasure OF being an eye
witness of the Leap Year Eop last
"wednesday night given by the Juvenile
Mystic Sisterhood' of Pendlcton, which
proved to be a perfect success in all respects,
although the weather was unfavorablc::-
Those who attended enjoyed it exceedingly
aud pitied those who could not attend on
account of the weathcr, although carriages
were in waiting. The young men regret
this is the last leap year hop they will have
the pleasure of attending given by the
Young ladies of Pendlcton. The uniform
was Juvenile and becoming: The evening
closed with regrets from all.

The illicit traficers in whiskcy are known
in some sections of this Counsy as might
Shots" from the fact that they inform their
friends of their coming by firing a gun.
They are said to have regular places at
which they stop for night or two and
supply their customers. When they get
ready to move to another point, which is
always done at night, they fire gun.
This report is heard by friend 4 mile or
two away, who repeats the signal: This
is answered in turn by others, and by this
means their friends and customers for miles
along their route are advertised Of their
coming. If these representations are cor
systematized their business most etfcctually.
We have never been able to understand
why these violators of the law are not re-
ported to the proper officers by the law
abiding citizens who know of their where
abouts, and have them punished. Surely
there is nothing more demoralizing, or that
is calculated to do greater injury to the
morals of community than the retailing
of ardent spirits to its citizens under such
circumstances. Just at this season of the
year, when there is plenty of money in the
country and the people generally have more
leisure than usual, these fellows are bolder
and more active than common, and could
be easily detected if the proper efforts were
made.
A petition was presented to the Town
Council on Tuesday evening asking for the
continuation of the street leading from the
Baptist Church, on which the Jail is situa-
ted, through the lots of Mr.. John E. Pee
pies and Gen. w. w. Humphreys, crossing
Whitners creek about two hundred and
fifty yards below where Whitner street
crosses, and continuing in direct course
through the plantation of Maj. 3. F. Whit
ner to point on Generostee creek ut or
near the old brick yard Of Mr.. Crayton,
something like half mile below the pres
ent crossing at Byrum's bridge, and thence
to point on the public road leading to An
dersonville between the residence of Mr..
J. L. Byrum and Keys Spring. The right
of way from all the persons through whose
premises the new highway will pass has
been obtained, and it only remains now for
the Council and County Commissioners to
have the route surveyed and the road loca-
ted and opened. 1t is estimated by those
who arc familiar with the proposed route
that it will not only shorten the distance
between the point where it will intersect
the Andersonville road and town, but that
it will give a much better road than the
present one, as the steep hills at Generostee
and Whitner's creeks will be avoided. The
Council appointed committee to examine
into the matter end to report as to tho ad.
visibility of the proposition at as carly
day as practicable.
