Weather very cold. 4Ai
There is plenty of snow. n
There is now considerable sick
ness in this locality, mostly a mild
form of pneumonia. .a
Walker & Smith were in this
vicinity last week buying hogs. The
price paid was At cents per pound,
Several coupIes around here
celebrated Christmas by trying the
marriage lottery. Among the num-
ber were Charles Sisson and Miss
Julia Corey, Squire Ramsey ofticlat-
ing; Richard Daniels and Miss Sarah
Miller.
Since the heavy snow fall the
order of the day is rabbit and quail
hunting The biggest haul Of rab-
bits in a single day by enc person
was made by Otto Bartells, he hav-
ing captured and killed fifteen in a
single hunt.
Our village blacksmith is having
superabundance of horseshoeing,
and if the business continues much
longer he thinks of training his
young wife as an assistant.
The common cry is now: What
fine logging snow? But as yet not
one has ventured to chill his toes in
the experiment.
Should this weather continue
through the summer there will be
small need of either wagon or bridge
across the river to Salisbury.
One would think after reading
the Courier that ''B. j." your very
affable correspont from Bynumville,
was in a fit of blue devils by the un-
usual harsh and blatant pronunei-
mento that was hurled at your hum
bile correspondent, "a Person" I
would kindly ask that ''B. j." would
just read my copy in the 21st ult. of
the Courier, and he will plainly see
that quoted his own words in my
premises. He said in this township,
and repeated it. Please, Mr.. "B.
j :" if am an animal l know my
letters little Ididn't say that che
law should be changed-but the time.
In my remarks upon the subject then
at issue gave a reason or two why
our roads were no better, and sug-
gested remedy, and l now say If
'tB. j." was as we'll versed in road
matters as he is replete withepithets
and denunciations, he would have
given an idea of intelligence to the
ignorant, indolent overseers and
roadworkers, and by so doing he
would stop the bleating. And !
would say in conclusion that until
''B. j. and myself run for road
overseer in the spme district, and at
the same time, III short, rivals for
that office remain A PERSON.

: king Frost put in an appearance
on Friday night (January y with q
requisition that brought us all down
to bedrock, to the tune of % de-
grees below zero. The immediate
effects of his call are plainly visible
in the frozen ears, feet. hands and
noses, and the proverblal ''rheuma-
tiz," with which several of our good
citizens are afflicted and references
to Florida, Texas and other warmer
regions are often heard while Da-
kota admirers are hard to find.
The fine sleighing we have is
more potent with the young people
than all the restraints of King Frost,
as the merry sleigh bells denote, as
they jingle out their cheerful music
on the night air.

Charlton Divide,

Il wish to correct an error of
mine in my last letter In noticing
one Of your correspondents views
in regard to the stock law, we should
have had Chraneville instead of Pee
Dee, though our views on the matter
remain unchanged, however.
We noted the fact last week that
we were to have a new saw mill in
this vicinity. The proprietors. Dunn
& Bishop, have their mill on hand,
and will set it up soon at the Chari-
ton bridge, on this side Of the river,
at the old Dawkins mill site. We
predict that they will do we'll, as
there is great demand in this vi
cinity for native lumber.

We have experienced during the

we ever have. Some claim that it
was colder in December, 1874.
We have the boss snow for
sleigh riding, and our boys and girls
seem disposed to utilize the opportu-
nifty, and it is astonishing the amount
of fun one good snow can produce,
and the out-crop of improvised snow
rigs is only excelled by the variety.

The literary and debating socie-

meet regularly on Friday evenings,

sociate (by appointmenl) to reall-

on them to make their first issue just

good. May they be successful in
their efforts to establish q literary

"THE Democratic majority in the

York Tribune, sis so divided against
itself that the time of its falling out
about the Morrison tariff bill apparently
can not be far distant. The free trade
members are impatient to do something
toward the realization of their idea of
political economy, while the protec-
Zionist Democrats are in mortal terror
lest something shall be done. just at
present the greatest fear of the latter is
that they will be forced into caucus
and find themselves committed to the
Morrison bill before they know it.
Meanwhile the Republicans are serene.
A few of them are in favor of letting the
consideration of the measure advance to
n certain point, so that speeches may
be make against it, which will remove
all doubt about the position of the Re
publican party on the tariff question.
But is not the Republican party's posi-
tion in that respect clear enough
already? Is 1t not wiser than to oppose
the bill at every stageg"

miles, but $50 miles. The gap TO be
ironed is not 400 miles, but 1862 miles.

charge about Z cents II mile for passen-
ger rates and correspondingly. large rates
Tor freight The highest rate under the
concession allowed for flrst-class passen
gers is cents mile, third-class passen
gers "a cents mile. The highest rates
under the concession allowed for freight
are cents per ton per mile for first-cass
freight, and cents per ton per mile for
third-class freight. Wheat. corn. rails

great bulk of travel is third-class-t
travel OF the laboring classes. The first
direct result Of the road, wherever il
