A Bit Of NeWs and Word Of Adyioa.

AS females are the weaker sex, physically, we
| think they are, in many cases, TO be pitied, and
ought be assisted, certainly they should be re-
| spccted.
Near n country store in this county is small
bridge that during the heavy rains had lost its
flooring Acoupleo of young ladies with m eight
year old boy, were making visit and not being
| apprised of tie condition of the bridge, found
themselves, with horse and buggy, hedged in.
"What shall we do?' was the query of all this par
| ty; but, as the store within about a stones
| throw, they posted the child off, with the mes
| sage that some ladies were down at the bridge
and required assistance. AS it is always expected
| to find polite gentlemen behind the counter, they
felt no uneasiness about receiving the necessa-
| ry attention. The child returned, how
ever, and told them that one of the young men
said, "it was not his business to work the road;'
| another said, "tell them to 60 back and go
| round" But "go back phere? and go round
~here?" they did not know; nor did they know
how TO turn round, for there was only q small
| space in which to turn. But with great diff.
Guilty and cxertion they did get out and started
back. BY this time the proprietor of the cstab.
lishmcnt came near and motioned for them to
go round, and round hhey did go, for they were
then bcated and must go several miles out of
their way, because the planks were off the
bridge, or because they could get no one to as
sist them in getting over. However, the trip
was made with safety but the ladies' were not in
n very good humor. They had purposed pur-
chasing some "rbbons and ruffs and such like
stufls," but they concluded to try the town
| market, though sometimes the young men of
| town are not rs polite as they ought to be, es-
| pecially to country ladies' but they thought
surely they would have been better treated in this
instance by them. Young men of Unionvillc
do you think these ladies wero treated as they
should have been? If you do, we have nothing
more to say of your idea of politeness.
But why were these ladies thus travelling
alone! Probably this: One of them lost her
father on the "bloody field of battle" fighting
! for his county; the father of the other is an
invalid, and she has recently consigned to hon
| ored yet untimely graves her two loving broth
| ers.
Young men, let me urge upon you the impor-
tancc of true poltcness. When you arc dest-
tute of this you lack much Of true manhood
When we say true politcncss. do not mean
only the attentions and Kindness you render to
| your mother, sister and sweetheart, but attcn-
ton and kindness that extend far beyond this
and 60 to cvcrybody's mother, sister and sweet
| heart.
Young ladies', be cautious about going trip
without some one to take care Of you, for it will
not do, we blush to say, to depend upon the po
likeness of disintcrcsted gents. Be cautious
about selecting your companions for life, for If
they Lack true poitencss before they arc mar
ried they will be afterward than ami
mails wearing mems clothes.

Mr. EplroR AS our county paper is not yet
in working order, must beg portion of your
space in the Times for our public printing 1t
may be news to some of the readers of your val.
liable paper to learn that there is a new County
| up here. We, too, were ignorant of the fact
until made cognzant Of it by the action Of the
"Nominating COnuention'' of Union County. who
| completely ignored our existence. Not wishing
to Bolt we have organized separate county
True, we will experience some diticulty in get
ting the machinery in running order, but we
think the election Of the below named candi-
| dates will secure peace, prosperity, fcncc-law
and all things necessary for the proper admin
| istratiou of the law. We, therefore, beg you to
| place before the people the following Ticket:
! Here follows the names proposed, but as
many of them the de planes assumed by
some of our correspondents, and might be con-
sdcrcI personal illusions to them, which we
know "many voters" did not intend, VIC have
omitted them.
| Having no men within our limits whom we
deem so well qualified the last three to attend
have taken the liberty of putting their names
OH our ticket. We hope they feel enough inter
est in us to come over to our help, and to accept
| the Offices for sake.
Mr.. Editor, it is unnecessary to introduce any
of these gentlemen to you, they all fought, bled
and died for their country and, believe, are
willing to take the offices. You have good
ticket $50 have we) in the field, and had you not
driven us out You would have had our hearty
support You have done wrong in letting Pac-
olet River separate us. but it has reused dor
mant spirits and we are going to work to build
n Court House. When it is completed we hope
TO open Ralr )ad communication with Pea Ridge
and water communication with Aston. We will
be able to send our Representatives, two years
hence 10y Railroad to distributing point
thence by steamer to the capitol, and when this
is done we hope to furnish your market as cheap
ly rs from New York. More Of this in the fu-
