Beauregard still improves, in man.
res poets.
We 10 have a Lodge of l. o. o. f
IN working order here, while ID
Bowan is just organizing q Temperance
club, with intent to assail the devotees
Of Bachus.
Another large binding going up o.
EAST side, and | am informed 1t 10 to l
occupied by Bloom Il Co, Is a drue
store.
Bill Loving, our street o~vsrseer. IL
hauling large quantities of pine brush
aud filing the gullies in tie streets witt
them; so that when the rain falls thu
aforesaid gullies are expected to fill up
of themselves, ! suppose.
Price Of property here still advance
ing, and a lively business expected
during the coming fall and winter.
Our energetic citizen, Jhonny Terrell,
is now owner of the property formerly
owned by Weymouth. and has made
many improvements thereon with al
eye to becoming a citizen of Beaure
gard
Polk Ferguson, who was 80 unfortun
ite as to have his store burned twice
has again reopened OF west side of tht
| railroad in the old Post Office, where h,
is now ready to furnish anything goot
TO eat for cash.
Crops i'll this vicinity good. and
farmers Independent III many ways, and
general prosperity seems to be dawning
upon us
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
nave purchased the institute In wes
Beauregard for school purposes, and l
| understand that Prof. j. Nj. Girault Is
to open the school about the 1st of
| September next. | vonlG like to say Ii
word AS to how we run the school bust
ness here. Under an act Of the STATE
Legislature, the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen here assess each bar-room, %
dealers in ardent spirits, $500 for
school purposes, this With the foul
months public schools keep mp a school
about 8 mouths in the year. thus yon
see that we have men here who know
bow to utilize everything.
Please say to Citizen of C%assyville
that [ failed to see anything in my re
ply to his card in the Ledger like vip
dictiveness, such an idea never entered
my mind. He denies the assertion
that no white man had eve killed an
other at Caseyviile, or in the neihgbor
hood. but his letter in the Ledger is
-. can 10 ,nnnao 70 he walt npetpH
as to the date of the killing oil Moreton
and East. Why didn't he tell it at
first, or say nothing at all about the
killing. True Crawford was killed at
Gallatin, but both parties lived neal
Caseyville at the time the unfortunatt
affair occurred. l did not mean to cast
any reflection upon CaseyvIlIe neigh
borhood, or any of its noble old citizens
aud | think that any one who will read
nv card without bias will so understand
me. I only wished to call OF citlzel
to facts. Citizen has quite a sensitive
Democratic nose, I should think thai
when he can smell Greenbacks in tht
dry ink of 40 poor a scriber as myself
when there was nothing said ahou'
Greenback. in my card at all. Wonde,
lt he would receive Greenbacks for any
little service he might render to q com
munity, individual OF corporation
Come now, Citizen, the snap of that
everlasting party lash won't do for
spirited animals, better save 1T for your
kind, who have larger appendages to hls
head wherewiths to hear the sharp snap.
etc. l wish Citizen to understand thst
I am no stump>puller, but neither
Citizen nor bis patent politians can for
ever pull the wool over the poor tax
ridden people Of these United States
but that there is q time coming when
the people will rise up in their might
md call to account their representatives
who make the laws of the land.
