Yesterday the engineers who are mem
bers of the brotherhood of Engineers, on
the Western Indiana Belt Line Railroad
abandoned their engines and went out on
4 general strike. The question in dispute
between the men and their employers is
whether they shall receive the same pay
as the conductors. They demand they
shall, while the managers of the road say
they are not entitled to so much, their
work requiring less time and less re-
sponsibility. The managers of the road
say the strike will cause no trouble.

Brother Greazer is right. He sees the
edge of great field. Rev. Penniman is no
worse than the rest of his craft. Brother G..
will most likely stop investigating when he
finds that Rev. Penniman's mush and molas-
ses theology is merely reflection of the
popular sentiment IN the matter of religion.
The religion of day, is very direct uni

There seems to be disposition among the

Our proposed treaty with Spain meets

it worth her while TO come.

Ed. Register-I thought would send you
few items from our quiet little town.
The weather has been extremely bad for
the last ten days. 1t rained here all day yes
terday and last night, and this morning the
snow is all gone, and it is warm and pleasant,
except slow rain that continues 10 fall.
We have had a cold, quiet Christmas. The
little folks have enjoyed themselves very
much, as Santa Clause came around on the
night of the oath and left them great many
presents in the way Of candies, dolls pop
guns, fire-crackers, etc.
Our merchants have not appeared very
busy during the holidays. 1 suppose it is
on account of the scarcity of money in the
country.
Frank Raney has had a large crowd around
his place all the time. suppose it is be-
cause he has kept good fire, to say nothing
about the drinks.
We had one marriage in town last week,
and, from the number of young ladies and
gentlemen here, we expect more to follow.

the 23d Of this month, by the Rev. Mr..
Hanesworth, D. D., Mr.. j. c. Breed,of Sher-
man, Texas, and Miss Emma G. Omohundro,
of Des Arc, Mo-. were united in wedlock at
1 P. NJ, and left on No. for their future
home i'm Sherman. They carry with them
our best wishes. May they live long and
prosper i'm their southern home.
T. p. Fitz and family took Christmas din
ner with Mr.. Weast of Ironton, that being
his Goth birthday. Brother Weast has many
friends in this neighborhood, and we wish
him long life.
Rev. V. T. Settle preached here to-day.
Text, 9Th chapter and Goth verse Of Ephe-
SLAMS. He never fails to be on time, rain or
no rain.
DIR. Clarkson is feeling much better; we
hope he will soon be well.
r. A. GARRISON, of Annapolis, is in our lit
tie town to- day.
This is a bad time on our mill men, as the
roads are very bad and prices in lumber very
low.
''Uncle Isaac" is still alive, and looks well
for a man of his age and color. He found
Santa Clause and got new suit of clothes
from him, and they look well on the old man,
and make him so proud it reminds me of old
times.
The Misses Collins, who are teaching in
Piedmont, are at home spending Christmas.
Miss Clara Omohundro and Miss Emma
Perkins, of this place, visited Annapolis on
on the 26th and 9th. They reported a nice
time.

But believe the words voluntary SER

that forced my attention TO this case with
out any special arrangement wit. y one in

what could out of the county afterwards.
If "Tax Payer" was not aware that, before
visited Uncle Isaac, I had specific under
standing with one of the County Judges, and
undertook the case only after such agree

this individual pauper under consideration,

that had rendered my services for pure
love of the thing, and then presume to dictate
that should receive for my services 'spro

had been rendered for ''about s. year, for

Uncle Isaac's Sore Leg

Ed. Register-In reference to the COM
munication IN your last issue, under the
head of "Grumbling Tax Payers" wish to
say that while "Tax-Payer" confined his re-
marks to discussion Of the expenditures Of
the County Court for the relief of paupers,
he was only exercising the unquestioned
privilege of every citizen, and might even
expect expressions of thanksgiving from a
grateful, but, as he would have us believe,
deluded people.
When. however, he added personalities to
his epistle, of course he expected criticism.
He tells us certain doctors have imposed up
on the Court, and mentions IAN item of 500
allowed DIR. Gregory, for alleged services at
Hogan, (the italics are mine). Then follows
the paragraph to which I desire to call at
tention:
"Also, S32 allowed DR.. Sawyer for three
months practice on Old Uncle Isaac's chron-
ic sore leg. The allment having been known
for the last dozen years to be incurabe, the
rrumblel thought such a bill, for voluntary
service, was unjustifiable, especially as he
understood that like necessary service was
rendered Uncle Isaac for many years by DR..
Farrar, ST., for about IS year,"
Now Mr. Editor, had your correspondent
limited himself to the first sentence of the
above quotation, (although it contains a
gross error, or worse), I should have taken
no notice of the matter; bnt / opine that in
this .'diarrhea of words" he has betrayed
an animus that shows conclusively that there
is a sore somewhere besides on Uncle lsaac's
leg. 1t is prerequisite that man writing
for the information of the public should
possess accuracy.
The first visit made to Uncle Isaac was
ON the 18th of October; my bill to date was
paid by the Court on The first Monday in
December. Probably '.TaX-Payer's" alma
nae has fewer days IN a month than other
folks, and he is thus enabled TO get in three
months practice" between those dates.
By what authority has the case of Uncle
Isaac been proven .'incurable," and to how
many has it sheen known for the last dozen
years.' The fact is that the leg in question
is more nearly healed and in better condi-
ton to-day than it has been for-well, for
s.manv years:o and "thercby hangs a tail"
.sTax- Payer'' can easily verify the truth OF
this statement at any time.
Mr.. Editor, I am particularly at a loss to
understand the expression voluntary SER
VICE. Certainly, the services rendered by
me i'm this case were of my own free will.
Were the services formerly rendered by DIR.

for one year, and considered by him as full
and adequate consideration for his services
