EDINBURG MOTIFS.


worth and Fred Lindamood, three of our
good citizens left for Roanoke, where they
expect to find employment We are loathe
to lose our best citizens but hope it is for
their benefit
We were the recipient of a plate OF fine
oysters, kindly "set up" to us by A. l..
Newland and wife in their cosy oyster
parlor one evening of last week. Thanks
to you Lon.
We are told Of rooster six or eight
months old in Taylortown that failed to
crow until the early morn of November
9TH, when he boldly echoed aloud his first
notes, which VIII Hickman told his wife,
surely indicated the election OF Harrison
and Morton.
Our pleasant young lady friend, Miss
Verde BOehm, is on visit 10 her friends
in Washington; another case like Ne'lis's.
Guard her carefully that she be not run
over, for her many friends are very anX-
ous about her Has Nellie returned
Mr. VIM. A. Whissen, whom few weeks
ago we reported as having gone to Roam
oke has returned, but we are told only to
remain short while. Anything for the
best for viii, though we regret to lose
our best young men.
Joe, of the Eureka, we think, would
feel happy if no more politics were dis
cussed in his sitting room as 1t may be
dsagreeable with some of his guests.
As the porkers are beginning to squeal
and pass into the meat tubs, we expect
soon to report the pleasing fact Of having
received many messes of pudding, saus-
age, &c, to grease the threats and glad
den the hearts of our little family.
Ed Beasley is doubly happy as Harrison
and Morton are elected, and, well we
think he'd been more pleased had 1t been
girl. II surely would not have been
called Frances Maria, and as it is, he
shall not be called George Brlnski.
Chas. F. French, representing the Vac
uum Oil Co., New York, We notice is a
guest at the Eureka and hope the hos
pitality of mine host shall hold him per-
manentlJ.
Our graded school has opened with
bright auspices. The following corps of
teachers have been selected Rev. ID. II.
Rhodes, Mr.. Perry Kibler and Frank Jen-
nngs. These teachers have age, ability
and experience and can control, govern
and discipline. The patrons we think,
are fortunate with this selection and
should now lend their aid TO make the
progress of the school a success. We
know much depends upon this. If the
pupil is not taught at home, he at least
ought to be kept little nearer the home
Preside and not left to run at large upon
the streets or linger about the stores to
the annoyance Of all who might have bus
mess to attend to there.
Our friend T. NJ. Haynes, with Bally &
Co., is again upon our streets. A better
man than Haynes does not come to our
town.
Chas. Harper, George II. Hubert, c. F.
Stanley, j. W., Geo. F. and Gid Hatton,
of Wilmington, Del, arrived as guests at
the Eureka House on Saturday evening
last for a few days sport and recreation,
an abundance of which we hope they will
meet with. Our farmers will find them
agreeable and refined gentlemen and to
show their purpose Of sport alone, they
offer to pay for or give to the owner Of the
farm all birds they kill thereon. Any
thing more liberal or just we certainly
cannot ask.
Jimmy" Baker and Bob Windle early
and gracefully acknowledged and surren-
dered. It was with some difficulty that
Bob summed mp his winnings and losses.
After figuring and refguring he found the
former to be few dollars short. Law
renee is evidently very sore. He says,
"Och, it makes me heart sore to hear it,"
Ezra, Of the pine woods became so excited
and mixed up with the news on Wednes-
day that he actually emptied the cream
his good wife had prepared for the churn
into the hog trough.
The beef furnished to Mr.. Bradford by
Luther and Tom for needy Republicans,
was, we can say, greatly relished, al
though Tom thinks it was "deer" meat
Bradford won double price ami generous
ly distributed the winnings.
Mr. George Irwin returned last Monday
after a brief sojourn in Richmond. He
reports the Exposition and Destruction Of
Pompeii grand success
Though the political clouds look very I'M
canny
| I'll stake a cool hundred for is piany.
As Cleveland and Thurman will soon
come to grief
I'll replenish my larder with Bradford's
good beef.
The Cleveland banner, all dotted with
crowns,
By the hands of an Irishman was felled to
the ground,
Sad was the fall. and many the signs
When the ancient bandana dropped from
on high;
Hope took its flight, with the cry of de-
spair.
But look to the future, our hope lies there.
The Harrison flag, well studded with
stars,
Floated high in the air with the time-hon-
ored bars;
Beautiful and gallant 81 waves in the
light
Nor lowered her crest till after the fight.
Storms may rage, contentious mount high,
But wherever thou art, my country is
nigh.
Let old Democracy be forgotten
And never brought to mind,
For Harrison is elected
And Clcveland's left behind.
Tom Hansen said he'd wager the gray,
As the times are quite hard with n short
crop of hay.
Plenty Of hides, though the payment II
brief,
I'll risk z small cut of Bradford's fine
