NEVADA, as a State is disgrace
to the Union. Its condition was far
enough removed from civilization
aud progress when it was admitted,
and 1t has grown no better since.
The population is decreasing, and a
few money bags are all there Is left.
Taxation for state purposes alone is
50 on $1,000, and even that exorbi-
tant levy won't meet the expenses.
Nevertheless salaries and other out
lays are on the highest scale. A
debt of half a million staggers the
fnauciers 1t has been suggested
that the best way for the State to
get opt of its difficulties is to have
Senators Jones and Fair play game
of uechre to see which shall pay the
debt, and run" things, and there
really seems to be no other way.

"not one has ever been even accused
of lying or stealing, and that, living
and working with quite variety of
people, not over four complaints of
any kind have ever been made of or
from them; all these were connected
with Irish farm hands, who were apt
to be jealous Of there Indian allies"
They are also perfectly docile and

to enable a correct judgment to be

Since DR.. j. j. Payne has left us, we
have lost another good citizen in the
person of Mr.. w. b. Gray, an upright
and an enterprising man. Mr.. Gray
left with his family, on the Goth inst,
for Arkansas. His homestead was
bought by Mr.. Eli Beaver, a christian
gentleman, to whom we extend hearty
welcome. lie (Mr. Cray also sold a
tract of land to gentleman from Hi
nois, (Mr. Kellogg who comes highly
recommended as christian gentleman.
Mr.. Kellogg intends to 90 largely into
the sheep husbandry. We extend him
Il welcome and wish him much success
in his enterprise.
And now we come to another. Mr..
Victor Eberweine, persevering, in
dustriOus German, who came here some
II years ago, has sold out and gone
back to Ohio. We hear many regrets
on account of his departure.
We should state that Mr.. Zimmerman
has rented DR.. Payne's farm, and seems
to be moving things quite lively.
The continued freezing and thawing
has about killed out all the very late
sowed wheat and winter oats.

Among the many new students who
have arrived lately to attend the Nor
NAL, is a Mrs Pitts, from Coffee coun-
ty. While out shopping last Saturday
she lost purse containing two $40 gold
pieces. 1t soon became known to our
merchants. Late in the evening little
boy stepped into Mr.. j. A. Carriers
store, purchased pair of pantaloons,
and rendered 800 gold piece in pay
ment. Mr.. Carter asked him where he
got the piece. He replied that he was
working for Mr.. Weber, at the board
ihg-house, and that he (Mr. w. had
paid him the piece. Mr.. Carter gave
the negro the change, and Immediately
visited Mr.. Weber, who stated that he
hadn't paid the negro any money. On
his return to the store Mr.. Carter met
the negro with the pantaloons and ask
ed him to return with him. The negro
"smelt mice" and acknowledged that
he had found the purse and had all the
money with him, minus what he had
paid for the pantaloons. Mr.. Carter
succeeded in recovering his property,
together with the money, which was
restored to the owner.

his good wife, whose health has been
very bad for some time, and who ex-

dated Athens, Ala, Jan. 20, in speak
ing of the marriage of Mr.. William b.
Russell, of that town, to the beautiful
Miss Jessie Houghton, of our town,
gives the following description of their
arrival and reception at home:
The train with the happy couple on
board reached here ON Wednesday night
at II o'clock. A full head of steam was
let on the whistle, and had not our citi-
zens been expecting the bridal party
they might have thought the whole
town was on fire. They were met at
the depot by a host of anxious friends
and escorted to their coy little home,
where everything was new and arranged
in splendid order for them. A grand
reception was given, tonight, at the
residence of Z. J. Russell, Esq. The
building and grounds were brilliantly IL
Illuminated, and the house was complete
" packed with old and young of our
citizens, vieing with each other in hon
oring Mr.. Russell and his charming
Young bride, who was the central figure
Of the evening-the observed Of all OBJ
servers. i The bridal presents
were numerous and expensive, and no
occasion in our town was ever attended
with more real pleasure and delight.

fashioned hand-shaking. Henry, We

The winter, up to this time, has been
the most severe known to the oldest set
tiers.
| have passed through several fields
of wheat recently. Some fields Of late
wheat, think, are entirely ruined it
is thrown out by the severe freezes and
lying on the surface, and most of it
dead. Drilled wheat, with few excep-
tons, where sown early, has stood the
winter far better than broad-casted
wheat. The crop depends much onhow
the winter breaks up. If we have much
dry weather on the breaking up Of the
winter, l think the crop will be cut
quite short.

Tho Winchester Normal.

This institution openel last Monday
morning with an increase of 80 or 40
pupils, making the enrolment larger
now than it has been at any previous
time since the school was established,
which is q sure as well as gratifying
Indication that its superior educational
facilities are being appreciated. Not
outstanding the fact that there is hard.
" seating capacity for the pupils,
large number of visitors were present to
witness the new style of organization in
troduced by President Terrill and his
able corps of teachers.
The Normal, at the present ratio Of
increase will soon have larger attend
aacc than any school in the State
rrori,led that arrangements can be made
to accommodate all who may apply
Admitting the fact that it already has
Il growing reputation abroad, as well as
at home, and is an honor to our town
and county, if our Honorable County
Court would extend the lease to the
Faculty, or Board Of Trustees, for a suf-
fcent length Of time to justify additions
i, the present insufficient building,
the Normal would soon be what it
was intended to be--nOt only the pride
of the town and good old Franklin
county, but Of the whole State, and
its enrolment would soon be second to
no institution of learning in the South.
We are writing now in the interest
Of our town and county. 1t is our
duty, as public journalist, to advocate
all measures that would rebound to the
interests Of our town and county, and
1--WE know whereof we speak" in advo-
eating this measure. This is measure
in which every man, woman and child
in the county is interested, and the
representative men of the county who
compose the Honorable Court should
not hesitate one moment to take action
in the matter.
This lease question was put to the
Court several months since, and was
voted down. We don't know that it
will 60 before the Court again, but if
it should, we can't see how a single
member, who looks at the matter in
proper light, can vote against it. These
honorable gentlemen were elected to
office to look after the interests of the
county, and to do everything in their
power to advance said interests; and If
an extension of the present lease is not
Of interest to the county, not only in an
educational point but financially, then
there never was a matter of interest car
RED before that body. And further, we
arc satisfied that if the question was
put to vote of the people of the eoun-
'y, they would vote overwhelmingly for
an extension of the lease.
