Our ROADS AGAIN. The last heavy
rain on Wednesday will about knock
the bottom out of the public roads
leading into town. It was said that
the bridge across Garland's Lane, near
Paul Richards, was to have been re-
built during the past week, but it was
not done. That bog hole, now, will
bog the shadow of passing buzzarJ.
There are two or three similar bog
holes between that and the railroad We
hear that all of the other roads are
about in tho same condition. Well,
set it down, that business is now closed
until dry weather evaporates the water.
We have been informed that Mr.. West
lake, from Illinois, who bought out
Capt. Gillespie, can introduce machi-
merry for working the roads, that will
do more effective and better work on
the roads than hundreds of men. Let
our Police Jury inquire into the mat
ter.

Striking a Comet.

The astronomers not only IN this
country but all over the world, have
been engaged for the past few weeks IN
endeavoring to discover the cause of
some queer atmospheric disturbances
that have lately prevailed. Everybody
must have noticed the very peculiar
sunsets and sun rises during November.
Long after the sun had set there was
a red glare in the west that fingered
behind for several hours. This was
frst thought to be due to what is
meteorologieally known as 9 foul sun
set.r ordinarily supposed to presage
d violent storm but as this red sunset
came evening after evening without any
accompanying storms, this theory had
| to be given up. Others were disposed
| to consider the red light the reflection
of a prairie fire, and others again an
aurora boreaIis.
All these theories were wrong. This
red sunset was limited to no portion OF
this country, nor indeed of the world.
It was noticed in England as early as
/ Nov. g, and seems to have travelled
slowly and regularly westward, and it
! was visible i'm the Southern as we'll as the
Northern hemisphere. The first the
ory of scientists attributed the phe-
i nomenon to the Java volcanic eruption,
j and the yapors emitted by the yolca-
4 noes. This, however, was finally
] abandoned. The fiery sunsets were

phenomena that have lately been no.

months a deep yellow, while in South
America, for several weeks, the sun APP

alarmed the world into the belief that
4 its end was near, and the Millerites
would have been out In force in theil

scarcely a murmur of surprise. Wead,

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES. ~ From
the rumors afioat it appears that par
tial independent ticket is in process OF
formation to defeat the regular Demo-
cratic nominees for Sheriff and Clerk
of the Court. The projectors of this
move, as Il means of success, hope to
concentrate the disaffected Democrats
and the Republican vote on their men.
If such scheme is on foot, we warn
them that they will be defeated. No
true Democrat viii go against the nom
inees, and there are plenty of RepublI-
cans who will vote for Duson for Sheriff,
and Chachere for Clerk, in preference
to any Independent Democrat. Duson
and Chachere were both opposed by
strong and popular Democratic candi-
dates before the Convention. Those
gentlemen were fairly defeated, and
they have aquiesced in the result, and
will support the nominees like true
men.

From some cause, yet unknown, the
inside of N. G. Dunlap's drug store
caught fire, and had it not been for the
energetic endeavors of some of the citi-
zens the following named persons
would have burned out: n. q. Dun
lap, drug store and residence: X. H..
Logan, family grocery; II. III. Shell
man d Bro, jewellers; j. j. Cochran,
millinery aud residence; Mrs Nj. Nj.
Donly, millinery, notions and resi-
dence, Geo. Gardner, boot maker
the sherifi's office, and very likely
me county Jail. At the present
Tune many opinions are advanced ms
TO the cause OF the fire. 1t Is Il Won
DER the fire was put out with so little
loss. Mr.. Dunlap Is fully insured.
Don't know If any Of the others are IN
sured or not. The telephone office
was situated in Dunlap's store.
The city has been quite dull for the
past few days on account of the in
clement weather.
