He has done a good years work and is

hewill escape.
Mr.. John ID. Lusk is a candidate
for Alderman in the third ward, as
will be seen in our announcement col
umn He has served in the board
and has been marshal of the town
several years, and consequently knows
what is needed on the street and else~
where. He will make an energetic,
pushing alderman if elected, and he
is very popular.
The friends of Conductor Matt.
Booker along the line of the L. O..
road sincerely sympathize with himi in
the loss of his estimable wife, who
died in Atlanta, Ga, few days since,
where she had gone to spend the win
ter for the benefit Of her health. The
shock to him was sudden and terrible,
and only those can truly realize his
bereavement who have drunk of the
same bitter cup.
In our announcement column will
be found the name of S. H. Hale,
Esq, who is a candidate for re'elecs
tion to the Office of Mayor of Milan.
His efficient work in office is so well
known to our readers that it is hardly
necessary for US to refer to it; but we
will merely remind the public that
under his administration the town has
been relieved of railroad debt of
$50, 900, besides many hundred dol
lars of>other : debts. During this
time great many brick and plank
walks have been laid and the streets
have been kept in fair condition. He
is certainly safe financial manager.

REFLECTIONS.


The literature Of country must of
necessity he powerful engine, either
of moral good or evil. 1t the most
able and admired writers of the age,
whose genius and talents command
universal attention and admiration,
are engaged on the side of truth aud
virtue, if they are themselves men
of piety, and endeavor TO diffuse IL
similar spirit through their pages, if
they are not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ, either as individuals or as
authors, in their private or literary
character, they cannot fail to be ex.
clusively useful. A few such indi-
viduals, under the Divine blessing,
may be the means of elevating the
tone of morals and of exciting spirit
of zeal throughout the land. They
may constrain iniquity to hide her

Wednesday, set out large number
of trees on the lot and cleaned up the
grounds neatly. The exercises open
ed with vocal music by the school,
when very interesting and instruc-
tive lecture on Trees" was delivered

lesson. and the pupils showed that
they understood it when questioned
on different points afterwards. Miss
Hattie Dickinson recited poem
beautifully, aud Rev. j. H. Holt de-
livered a short address, which was
full of good advice. The boys and
girls took pride in the work on the
grounds, and a very few minutes
showed wonderful change for the
better in the appearance of things.
The faculty have won the love and re-
spect of the pupils, and everything
moves along smoothly.

Enforcing Marital Rights.

The case of Mr.. and Mrs. Weldon.
of England, is attracting good deal
of attention throughout the civilized
world. The lady has "A beautiful voice,
and was an ornament to society be-
fore she married; but she has an un-
happy temper, shrewish tongue, and
an inordinate delight in litigation.
She has plenty of money, and can in
dulge in the luxury of going to law.
Her husband found living with her un-
endurable, so he left her. He offered
her every inducement to live alone,
She was to have house, and money to
live on comfortably; but that was not
enough. She insisted upon her rights
to her husband, and she went to law
to make him live with her. The court
sustained her right, though admitting
that the law was absurd The court,
however, suspended any punishment
on Mr.. Weldon, pending an appeal to II
higher court. The lady was SO eager
to get decision in her favor that She
applied to the justices of appeal to take
the case out of its regular order, which
they refused to do. 1t seems, however,
that it really is the law of England
that husband or wife can be pun
ished for not living with married
partner who is hateful to them. At
last accounts ii law had been proposed
in parliament to r9ctify this state of
| things.-DemoreSFS MOnthiy for april.
