At the meeting of the young men Of the
Valley for the purpose Of organizing liter
airy and debating society, on Saturday even
ing, May LIST, we have the pleasure of stating,
there were nineteen gentlemen present.
Business was Immediately commenced by
putting Mr.. E. c. Russell in the coair and
making Mr. Geo. Lopez secretary.
Neatly worded and appropriate speeches
were made by Messrs. Eigar, Greason, Rus
sell, Wilkinson, and others, upon the objects
and benefits that would necessarily follow y
society of this kind.
committee of five was appointed by the
President to draw up the constitution and
bylaws.
Mr.. Wilkinson having kindly offered the
use of his photograph gallery, it was there
fore ordered that the next NEE ing be held at
Mr.. Wilknson's gallery, on Saturday evening,
May Sth, at 8 o'clock.
It was suggested that an invitation Re ex-
tended to ladies as we'll as to gentlemen,
which suggestion was unanimously adopted.
The meeting then adj burned.
We take the following from short speech
made by member of the society:
1--WE want all of you to come, gentlemen.
Do not say you will not come because you can
not make a epeech. or read the sim, lest
come and try. You may fail once or twice,
but In a short time you will sstonish your
hearers as well as yourself. if there are any
brains at all In your brain-pan."
1t is to be hoped that there will be larger
attendance a: the next meeting. as the object
of the society is in every way commenda-

many win be happy.
A cavalcade of exodusters, consisting OF
four two-horse wagons and fourteen peoples
passed through town on the % inst They
were from 'Ole Virginny" and on their way
to Southwestern Missouri and Southeastern
Kansas. OF course the first conclusion OF
many will be that the said exodusters were
hanged and quartered and otherwise NAL
treated by the unreconstructed Southerners,
and then driven from home. The simple
fact, from their own lips, is that they but ex-
ercised the privilege of all free American cid-
zens-changed their locality in the hope OF
lettering their fortunes, and that Is all there
is of 1t.
That sheet-iron furnace you told about
week or two since, (which, in reality, 10 OF
strong boiler-iron-ten pounds to the square
foot,) again occupies the position it did be-
fore the storm. It is rapidly approaching
completion, and will soon aid in filing the
Golfers of the Iron Company, in spite Of the
unwise legislation of the county against the
company. The action of the county reminds
me of the fellow who abandoned . steady diet
of potato balls ON the discovery of the real
potato, with this difference: that the county
proposes at one fell swoop to eat potatoes,
tops, balls and all at gunch-leaving moth
ing for seed or for a future meal. It Is to
be hoped that its digest on will not be seri-
ously impaired by the extraordinary meal.

Last Saturday night some parties who live
south of Ironton in the FIatwoods district, OF
near there, went out of town in hilarious spir
its. They amused themselves by throwing
rocks at various objects as they passed along
and did considerable damage. They smashed
in a section of Mrs. W. A. Delono's fence,
and the next morning the grounds we're filled
with cattle who had gained ingress through
the opening thus made. This was provoking
enough and bad enough. but the same per.
sons who did this wanton damage also threw
stones at the door of a c,lored woman's
house, and amused themselves By using bad
and indecent language toward her.
A short time ago, similar party, while
passing homeward from town, at the hour of
midnight, took harrow out Of DR.. Farrar's
field and placed it in the middle of the road
with the pointed ends of the teeth upward
The night was dark, and 1t was "rare good
luck' that no sober passer-by was injured
in self or property.
Now, all this may be very fine fun, but we
are SO thck-headed we can't stumble to il. -
We wish the perpetrators names could be OBJ
tanned; we would make it a little funnier for
them by printing the same In very gOod-siz d

wanton injury to another, is worse than q

cannot always give him his just deserts.
