As quite a number OF weeks have passed
since Old Trim with his budget has been
around, he, now, proposes to commence re-
deemlng the time
As il is the custom in the quaint little
town Of Dongola, for some Of our citizens,
TO get thrown into perfect fury at least once
a quarterthe reader may infer that,the sen
sibihties of too many, lie just little too
close to the skin. Their feet in many
instances are SO big that it is impossible,
to step without getting on some burly TEL
lows foot. No difference what may be
said by correspondent Of newspaper,
some party or other will declare they are
personated, and then comes the loud
mouthed cry that fellow must stop that
Last March Old Trim ventilated little
wrong doing, through the columns Of The
BULLETIN, in which no man was person
atcd, but the ''mullet heads Of the town
gathered IN the corners got Mp a petition
and went to work to stop his a<cies.
Next comes Radical" of the Advocate who
in his jottingS was said 10 be too personal
for any use; he mus; be squelched, and
squclched he was. I, took long time to
squelch him, but zeal in any cause accom-
pIishes much, 50 by drowning the editor
with bulidozing letters he-the edi,or-was
compelled 20 attach his wonderful towline
to Radical, and pull himof. Next comes
Civil Rights in the Advocate, but he was

now breaking the camels back, is the

spotted from the world As sure as fate
there is something rotten in Denmark
otherwise correspondents Of papers and
Dongolans, all need visit from that
mythical parsonage, the fool-killer We
venture the prediction that, if the fool
killer and reyenger of blood, will form a
partnership and visit Dongola, they will
fnd paying job.
We now have two large political caul-
drons, in Dongole, boiling rapidly. Each
political party seems sangune OF success
in the present contest. Warm debates on
our corners are the order Of the day, each
party claiming that they are receiving
heavy relntorcements from the opposite
side. We know one man who left his
party on account Of the Dongola dog tax.
He had only five dogs, and being too poor
to pay the tax on them he killed thgm, and
beng too poor to own any hogs, he has
nothing to eat the crumbs that fall from
his table.
The rain ,arried its coming just a little
too long for the corn crop. The corn
crop is a partial failure. Say not more
than half a crop. Well so It must be. We
should be thankful that with half crop
we can make out and no one suffer With
the exception of corn, 1880 compares favor
ably with 1879. II is the duty of all to
keep cheerful aud not murmur. Life is
short and If we intersperse it with frowns
and grim yisages we only make it bitter.
Surely none but those destitute of under.
standing need see trouble.
Dongola after all of its mishaps, has
many redeeming qualities and no one dare
predict that she will retrograde and 90
into insignifcance. Business is lively,
and L. Cuhl is manufacturing huge piles
of first rate flour. The Argus.Journal has
a correspondent who may be able to tell
who drove Broad Horns COW to the Cairo
market and was there forced to give her up
