CORRESPONDENCE
CAREERS L

MAY 1T.-our farmers are quite busy
replanting and blowing corn. Consider
able complaint is being made in regard
to early planted corn coming up, The
outlook for wheat and oats is very favor
able.
Two deaths have occurred in our dis
trict since my last, viz: Mrs. Martha
Enzor, relict of Eli Enkor, and!old uncle
John Berry. The latter named wa 80
years Of age.
The residence of Isaac CARRIER came
very near being destroyed by fire on last
Saturday.
Henry Miller and SON have their wool
en- factory in successful operation.
Rev. Mr., Crumley Of the NJ. E. church
South, preached a very interesting ser.
nor to a good audience at Bethesda yes
terday evening.
Carrier & Simpson hre preparing to
build a lime kiln Mr.. Eli Hays, a prac-
teal lime burner, is doing the work.
Our road oversecrs are taking advan-
tage of the fine weather aud are putting
in good time on the roads.
II. A. Ferguson, of Crookshanks was
over yesterday, ~ostensibly on q visit
to his uncle, Isaac CARRIER, but the know
ing ones arc Of the opinion that . certain
attractive young lady sgas the principal
AUS of his visit. BE careful, Henry,
for our boys are of the opinion that there
are not more than enough girls here for
them, and as some of them are remarka-
bly, handy with shot guns 1t might not be
healthy for an outsider to interfere.
r. NJ. Young's liquor license has ex-
pired and he declines to renew 1t, which
makes it very inconvenient for the bibu-
lousy disposed cititizens Of the neigh
borhood.
Mrs. Abbie Jones, who was thrown
from her horse some time since, it seems
was more seriously hurt than was at first
supposed. She has been i~ndisposed ever
since the occurrance.
Since the various conventions have been
held our good people have quietcd down
and ceased spouting politics. While quite
a number did not get their choice in eve.
nv instance, we feel warranted IN saying
that all will fall into line and give the
nominees a united and hearty support.
We are all glad that the bitterness exist
ing between the two factions for the past
two years has been amicably adjusted and
any one of either faction who should be
SO indiscreet as TO attempt u arouse the
bitter animosity heretofore existing should
be summarily read out Of the party.
With q united party we can elect all our
candidates, but with discord and dissen'
sions we cannot reasonably expect to elect
any. The discussions were, perhaps,
greater in the 4th district than any Other
in the county, but we assure u fellow
Republicans of Washington county that
this time they will find US In solid column
standing side by side battling for the sue
cess of the whole Republican ticket il
the coming election andre up our usua'
old time majorities.
The Democratic primary held at Be
thcsda on last Friday was a huge" af
fair. 1t is said the discussion on the rela
tive merits of Jefferson Davis and An
drew johnson, between Col. ''Bill' Bay
less and Obediah Sans was very enter
tanning and much enjoyed by those pres
ent.
We are glad to ANNOUNCE o.the reader,
of the HERALD AND TRIBUNE, that Mr.
Noah Eutsler did not have the anticipated
trouble expected in rccapturing his fsl
that escaped from his pond during tn,
late freshet. From past experience It'll
thought the fish knew Mr. Eutsler was
very energetic and determined man ant
would have them at all hazards, and so
alters few days jollifcation, returned O
their own accord, re.entcred the pond
and are now safely housed, where W
presume they will remain until big Che
rokec again puts on her Sunday clothes
J when in all probability they will 60 off o
another bender and cause that gentl,
man great uneasiness of mind. But 1t
expected that Mr.. Eutsler by that tim
: will have them so well trained that afte
rusticating a few days they will again r,
turn. That Ibis may be the case is IL
: sincere wish Of PnELM,
. PETTIBONE.
MAY 1S.-Last Wednesday Mr.. S.
Martin and /, thinking to take a lit
