good. Coasting has been pretty generally IN
dulged in this winter. 1t is no longer con-
fined to bows. but heads of families can now
be seen by moonlight on sled and board,

ming down pine tree. We are happy to nave
but two slight accidents to note: John mar
ris, of harness fame, hurt his back, ana the
young preacher landed safely IN the pottom OF
the branch.

tuteIy necessary that everyone should be vac
cinated, and hope that some action will be
taken at once DIR. Moorehead has Vaecl-
mated all the colored people in Factory Row

our County Board of Health the State Board
