LETTER FROM RiNGoEs.

Business is thriving in our town and
money seems to be plentiful, but few
possessors of it are in any wise liberal in
its use. Each man for himself" is the
motto hereabouts. Enterprise seems to
have lost It's hold upon the people, and
neglect of matters of great interest and
advantage to the public, is the order of
the day, sadly, we confess, TO the disad-
vantage of the town, Let our people
revive and show more interest in matters
of public policy and welfare, and then we
can boast of town where enterprise
reigns and charity and benevoence are
its chief virtues.

The Larison's Corner Sabbath School
spent day in the woods of A. T. Will

The Presby terian Sabbath School held
social picnic in the woods of A. It.
Williamson, last Saturday The morning
was dull one and gave indications of a
storm. The clouds at length brok away
and the happy children rejoiced over it.
About fifty gathered in the woods and
spent the day in amusement and pleasure.
Ice cream was provided and eaten with a
relish. Altogether the picnic was an en-
joyable one to the majority present, but
could have been made much more so, had
more interest been taken it by the officers
of the school. gyI8
A Mr.. Phillips aud family have moved
in the house owned by DIR. A. M. Hart.
We understand Mr.. Phillips has been en-
gagged as teacher by the Unionville school.
Mr.. G. w. Cherry lost his sorrel horse
by death, last Saturday afternoon. He
had taken his family to the Sabbath
School picnic, and in short time after
unhitching his horse from the carriage,
the horse showed signs of sickness and
seemed uneasy. In few moments he
laid down and died. This horse had been
valuable animal to Mr.. Cherry, and
although getting along years was still of
much service to him. The sudden death
of the horse created quite some excite
ment at the picnic.
DR.. G. w. Larson is steadily regaining
his strength and health and is permitted
to ride out in his carriage.
Some of the New York commission
merchants have found the truth too
strong for them. Instead of the peaches
not getting there till late in the morning,
as they would have the farmers believe,
it has been proven that their trucks were
not there until that time. and were the
fault of the peaches not getting In for
early market.
Politics is the chief topic of converse
