NEW CARLISLE,

NEW CARLISLE, March 27.-IOcal poll
ties is mOnopolizing about all of the time of
our sagacious statesmen. The grocery store,
shoe shop and saloons are the places where
the sOl0ns congregate, and political states
are made and disposed of on short notice.
At each place some reigning boss, the
champion of some particular interest, is
regarded as master of ceremonies, and no
move is made by his minions until his sane
tton Is secured. The interest of the village
is not of so much Importance to these va
rious clans as the gaining of some per-
sonal selfish purpose, and the cutting of the
political throat of some opposing ring. As a
| result we hire men upon our school board
and In our town cOuhcil about as capable of
filling these positions as is Baltimore Oys-
/ ter. Outside Of giving vent to some spite
that betrays their littleness, it is impossible
J to get an idea into their heads, unless 1t is
placed there by sOm6 surgical in
strument or by the free use of
pair of boots applied to their other end,
but nevertheless this very class generally
get there. Our hero of the "Blazing Can
non" is candidate for position upon our
school board. Ii he should be elected he
will make great negative member, for to
whine and object has become a chronic
| disease with him. . We regret that some
dissention has arisen in the NJ. E. church at
this place, consequent on the too free use of
that unrully member the tongue. We hope
a spirit of charity and forbearance will yet
prevail, and the white winged angel of
peace reign supreme over the church. The
pastor, Mr.. Gaddis, has been untiring in
his efforts to bring about a reconciliation of
the disturbing elements, but as yet without
success. The different factions persist in
declaring that the church is not large
enOugh.to hold them. We think genuine
good old fashioned Methodist prayer meet
| ing would be in order at the present time
A little more humanity, little more of
the grace of God in the heart.
a little crucifying Of bigoted
self, would have great influence in quiet
ing the trouble . Squire Notes. genial
| Lon, and Richard the third, visited the cen
ter last week to look after the political
! fences Of their friends. A short consulta-
tion with Old Uncle Bill has had magic
influence over the boys since their return.
| The boys are sly coOns, you can bet. 6. . AS
was predicted in our last communication.
! Captain Tom Swanger has withdrawn from
the race for the sheriffship and In his let
/ ter strongly endorses our candidate for
treasurer. He does this in the interest of
harmony in the party Of this place. and this
act will prove white plume in his crown
in the future II he should ever desire TO
make a race for public position. . Mr..
Warren Barton is soon to remove his pho
tograph gallery to the Neff building
on south Main street. =. Mr.. Frank
MOrehead is making a brave fight
for the assessorship of thi. precinct :.
1t is said that the doctors of our village
refuse to wear the reading course costumes
adopted by a certain physician of Spring
field. An auxiliary to the Woman's Re-
lief Corps of the G. A. r. was organized
here on Friday last. Mrs. Belle T. Bag
ley, of GAINESVILLE, was the installing off,
Ger. The l. o. o. +. kindly rendered the
| use Of their hall for the installation. and
their banquet hall for the sumptnous din
ner that was prepared by the loyal ladies of
this village. A fine time was had. The
ladies' aid society of the NJ. Z. church will
give literary and musical entertainment
and Easter supper in the town hall on Sat
urday next. . DR.. II. Ii. Young has been
confined to his room for some time, but Is
now thought to be conyalescent. .. II. t.
MOrehead, an old resident of this place, is
in failing health.
