DoNGoLA, November 20, 1880,
Since the election, matters and things
have simmerod down TO commonsense
standpoint For one, We must say we
feel very thankful, and being on the side OF
the victors in the battle, we conccde to
being somewhat like the old lady who,
when told the COW had eaten the grlnd-
stone said, "Thcre, now, told you So" The
stock law IN Union county was vetoed by
nearly two thousand majority The farm
ers seem to be content TO 90 on in the
foolish business Of sQuandering their hard
earned moneyiI building fences to keep
amos. worthless stock of their grain fields.
Township organization was also knocked
| higher than kite, This perhaps, WAS all
right, for had il carried and each township
formed ring Of sappers and miners similar
to Bouton's "Joncsboro ring the county,
in a very short time, would have been bank
rupt. The proposition to levy 2j cents ad'
ditional tax was also badly beaten. Thomas
said, boys, don't do il, and they didn't.
Winter put in his visit, at least three
weeks ahead Of time, so that late potatoes
are mostly in the ground. and whether they
! will be taken out or not this winter, is a
doubtful matter to decide. What few have
been gathered in did not turn out well, so
the prospect for high prices for potatoes is
said to be good. Sweet potatoes have been
chilled and ruined by the carload.
Having been asked by 80 =" to tell of
some OF Dongola's redeeming qualities, we
proceed to do so; Dongola has two good
church edifces, in which four denomina.
tons of Christians regularly worship. She
has a school house, second to none in lower
Egypt, lin which nine months Of teaching
| goes off every year" Then comes her three
frst-class Touring mills, and many other
redeeming qualities, that for breyity, we
will leave unnoticed. Her roughs are
diminished, and since her ''son Of b. on
wheels" got his hnchpins taken out, and
his wheels rolled from under him, his
hackers and those who made up money to
| pay his fines, have come to time, and we
hear of no more ku kluxing.
Times were never better Everyone has
plenty and to spare, and all our business
men are prosperng. Mrs. d. Greene, write to

all points Of the compass. So come for.
