teach the coming spring if she succeeds in
getting a school. She is 4 close student,
ambitious to excel, and viii make an eX-

A large number of our citizens visited

There are three or four young men in
this neighborhood who are somewhat de
mented or weak-minded, and for years
past it has been custom of a number
of boys and men to plague and torment
these persons whenever an opportunity
streets these inOffensive persons are fol
lowed by a gang of hoOdlums until it
has become nuisance of the worst
type, and several of cur citizens have
resolved to stop it, and if these persons
(Some of whom have more real sense
than their tOrmenters), are not let alone
there will be an example made of few
of these wOuld-be smart young men.
This is a right move, and the sooner it is !
carried out the better it will be for the
town. There is a gang of boys here who
seem to think that they can run the |
town, and at church or other meetings
they indulge in conduct that certainly |
fhouId not be permitted, and if they are
reprimanded for their behavior they |
curse and defy you. 1t is indeed high |
time that something be done toward
stopping these urchins in their reckless |
career. If a few of them were turned |
over to the Grand Jury, and allowed to !
pay fine or break stone for the county |
a few days. it would have a whole
some effect, and would greatly i'm
prove the morals of these wayward |
youths. Let the good work proceed.

held forth at the school house for three

frauds on the road, yet he succeeded in
quilting the people out of about fifty
dollars. What fools we mortals be-
Prof. Smith, the singing teacher, of
fers to commence a school here if thirty
pupils can be secured at one dollar each.
This is certainly liberal offer, and those
in good instruction should see
that the necessary number be secured.
Mr. George Marshall, of Cumberland
Run, is still unable to leave his home.
