in the poultry line. They kept four hands
busy dressing chickens and turkeys for them
the last week, and have shipped the finest lot
of dressed poultry that has ever left this place.
Turkey stealing seems TO be the order
of the night. Mr.. d. Mowry lost his entire
flock few nights ago. We don't know
whether thanksgiving for blessings enjoyed
would be entirely acceptable over stolen tur-
keys or not.
Our village is suffering coal famine.
Orders which had been sent in and accepted
as early as August still remain untitled, and
if coal are not soon forth coming, coal stoves
must be thrown out and wood stoves take
their place.
REV. Spencer, of the NJ. E. Church, is
holding series of protracted meetings at
Texas. That there is room for reform among
many of the Texasites, as we'll, perhaps, as at
this place, we have no doubt, and hope his
labors may be abundantly successful in
rescuing many, if not all, from the burning
brink.
go. Mr.. Abe Snyder, of Damascus town.
ship, paid our village a visit Saturday last,
on his way to Napoleon. Abe is one of the
pioneers of this county. He came here in
early days and located a hunting shanty
among the "oak openings" in Washington
township, in the section known as the
Mailer settlement. He says Sin those days
to kill six and seven deer in day was no
trick at ALL"
By hard labor and patient industry Mr..
Snyder has cleared and placed under cultiva-
tion large farm in what was known as ''the
bigwoods," and is now one of the most pros
porous farmers in that section. He is still
broadening his acres by the purchase of more
land. Abe is not only pioneer settler, but
a pioneer Democrat, one that can be relied
on for Democracy every time. He was
sound Democrat all through the times when
such men as Loyal Citizen" we're sneaking
Democrats.
I'VE have in our community an unfortu-
nate individual upon whom nature has acted
quite penuriously in the bestowal of her
bounties in the shape of intellect, familiarly
called Judge" Judge is a priviledged
character everywhere, and when left to HIM
self is harmless, civil and kind, but when an
noyed and irritated is dangerous, profane
and indecently vulgar, and from this circum-
stance a number of young bloods, and in
truth some old ones too, who, if with more
sense, at least as little judgment, are contin-
ually annoying and provoking him in order
to hear his vulGarity, which they are daily
drawing out of him inpublic places and upon
the streets to the shame of themselves, the
disgust of all who are compelled to hear, and
especially to the annoyance and embarass-
ment of ladies as they pass along-for he is
| no Tespecter of persons. This should have
been suppressed long ago, but for some in
scrutable reason it has been tolerated until it
has become an intolerable nuisance: and
when it is carried so far as to obstruct the
sidewalks in the darkness of evening to
''throw Judge" and the lives and limbs of
citizens are jeopardized, and ladies must
cross and re-cross the street to avoid his foul
epithets, it is time the authorities take the
matter in hand.
LIN your edition of last week, Loyal
Citizen''-no doubt member of the knights
of the dark alley-empties the contents of
his dirty squirt gun at Tyro, thus adding an
other name to the 'budge ofasses,' and vari-
fes Dryden, when he says "There is pleasure
even in being mad which none but madmen
know"
He calls US such pet names as "Grogshop
correspondent; bald and fatheaded," etc.
Well, this may be true, and it may not be
true, one thing, however, is true, should Tyro
live long enough, he probably may be bald
headed, and his hope will then be not to be
classed with those who have lived long, learn
ed little and forgotten nothing.
| That our new school house is ornamental,
Tyro has never denied, but ornaments should
be worn by those only who are able to afford
them and pay for them with their own money.
| What the people now want is six directors in
stead of three, so that it may be made as use
full as it now is ornamental, and that our
schools be conducted in accordance with the
| elIACteSe eCOnolly CouslStdut Will lnelf eI-
fciency, and that no more "raises'' of teach
ers' salaries be made without their knowledge,
and that, too, after they have expressed them
selves satisfied to receive even less compen-
sation than previously given. Will "Loyal
Citizen" please "crack this nut" for the
satisfaction of those who are bearing the
burden of taxation in this school district?
Tyro said the mechanics had lost the de-
sign and failed to put on the entire upper
story of the cupolo-and he says so yet.
Will "Loyal Citizen" deny it2
Tyro said the NJ E. Church had added
silver, brass or tin horns to their Choir.
Does "Loyal Citizen" deny it? If they are
not to help "sound praise to God," please
tell US what they are for?
Not one word has Tyro said in defense of
saloons, against temperance or in favor of
intemperance; he criticised the motives of
those who forever are teaching one thing and
practicing another; he expressed confidence
in the village Dads, he believed they would do
what in their opinion was right and proper;
he believed them men of integrity, men of
careful thought, of sound judgment: men
who would act from principal of right and
reason, and not from a bigotry begotten by
ignorance, prejudice and self-interest.
Tyro has not made single false statement,
and if he has let Loyal Citizen meet them
by counter statements of facts, backed by the
evidence, and not by dogmatic assertions,
