About two weeks ago five or six men came
riding into town, one morning, each carrying
a gun on his shoulder. The object of their
visit was soon learned. They took possession
sion of Carol Ratliff, and hurried him off
over to Squire Smith on Logan's Creek, Rey-
maids county. 1t appears barn and con-
tents were burned On the farm of one Mr..
Brawley, and an overeoat belonging to Mr..
RatlIff was found in the vicinity. He was
held to await the action of the grand Jury,
which convened a day or two after, but the
grand jury failed to find bill against him.
Last Wednesday, as Mr.. Holecamp was re-
turning home from trip to st. Louis, he
was brutally assaulted by ruffian by the
name of Pat. Gaiager, who was arrested and
fined five dollars and costs, amounting to
about S25. The constable started for the
county Jail with him, the prisoner being I'M
able to pay the fine, and through the negli-
gence of the officer he made his escape.
Our littls town did not celebrate very
much on Thanksgiving day. 1t seems the
young folks are not as fond of social amuse.
ment as formerly. However, very social
time was enjoyed at the residence of Mr.. T.
w. Wadlow, In theform progressive eucher
party. Prizes were offered for the poor
est and best players. John FOWL and Miss
Annie Carny won the first prizes, which
were fne TOBACCO pouch beautifully work
ed in silk, for Mr.. John, and hutton pouch
for Miss Annie. Our friend. Harry Hart,
won the prize for being the poorest player,
which was a bottle of ''catch up" After
the prizes were presented, we were served
with an elegant lunch, and the evenings
amusement was concluded with music from
the Annapolis orchestra.
Mr.. Blake was badly disappointed Thanks
giving day: He ha4 bought fine big COB

in close pen, under lock and key. When
Mr.. B. went TO lead his darling gobbler to
the slaughter he was gone. Mr.. Blake says
anything like that makes him mad.
A young man by the name of Brown was

From Granitey,lle.

Married, at the residence of the BRIDES pa
rents, Mr.. Hous. Kenner, yesterday, at
| o'clock P. NJ, Mr.. Hous. Warner to Miss Ma
ry kenner, both of Graniteville- Thos
Morris officiating. After the nuptial kno
had been tied, the newly married couple anG
guests were invited to the dining-room
where an elegant repast was in waiting; the
writer hereof was exceedingly sorry that
sickness prevented his being present to par
ticipate in the enjoyable event of the even
| ing. In your matrimonial state we wish you
| both a life of happiness and prosperity, and
| that each year will be happier than the one
preceding.
Still they go! Jack Welsh and P. Geary
left Saturday night for Mexico, in answer to
a telegram calling for two good blacksmiths,
or, as more commonly called with us, tool
| sharpeners.
Also, Messrs. James SINNERS and James
Cowie left this morning for their native land,
Scotland, where they will spend the winter.
Those spoken of on the sick-list in our last
weeks letter are at this writing improving
slowly, with the exception of Mr.. Robert
Trauernicht's children, some of whom have
whooping cough.
Rev. Olin w. Rose, of Ironton, preached
an interesting sermon in the new NJ. E.
church here, last evening, to full house.
Our district school, under the direction of
Mr.. E. Taylor and Miss Hattie Vale, is pro-
crossing nicely, and although they have a
very large attendance in both rooms. it is
conceded by all that our school board made
wise selection in the way of talent and
ability.
Mr.. Henry Block, who has been clerking
in the Company's store for the past two years,
has retired, and Mr.. Thos. Bryant, of Bel
grade, is now driving the delivery wagon in
great shape.
On Thanksgiving day shooting match
for turkeys was the event of the day among
the sporting fraternity of this place, and it is
reported that the gobbler stood very little
show of being gobbled up, as some of our
crack shots failed to bag many of them. 1t
is said Mr.. Bateman shot 104 times and got
one, and Mr.. Chapman-well, he brought
down four out of 100 shots, and Mr.. Doran,
after firing 100 times, and failing to get any,
concluded to have one anyway: so be bought
one for fifty cents, to be in fashion. As we
scores, but we state the matter as told us by
one who was there.
Several of Graniteville's young bloods took
in the Ironton ball on Thanksgiving night;
judging from the time some of them return
ed home, there must be something very fas-
cinating in Ironton; but perhaps jock and
Alex. can tell us more about it.
We hear the Company has secured anoth-
er small contract. We hope so, and howev
er little, it is better than none at all. at
makes the boys feel awfully good, anyway"
and as is an old saying, every little helps.

Decentralization.

Mr.. ". l.. Townsend and Miss Nellie
Brierton were married at Festus, Missouri,
on the 22nd inst. Mr.. Townsend is well
known to many of our readers, having been
in business in this county at Silver Lake
and being native of st. Mary, Missouri.
He has been at Festus, for more than a
year. His bride is handsome and accom-
plished young lady and is a daughter of
James Brierton, one of the proprietors of
the large merchantile firm for which the
groom is clerking. The groom is one of the
candidates for the Chief Clerkship of the
lower House of the legislature and in case
he is successful in the race, he and his
young bride will spend the winter at the
Capital. We are quite sure that we echo
the sentiment of every one of the gro om' g
numerous friends in this place when we
wish the young couple every happiness and
Joy and that the full measure of matrimonial
bliss may be theifs.-{2erry County Sun.

Ingratitude is terrible sin which cries
unto God against many. We desire, in our
hearts, to be free from this great sin; hence
my wife and myself recognize it as our du-
ty, as well as our pleasure, to acknowle dye
with sincere and deep gratitude the great
kindness of our many friends, who have
been so generous and so abundant in caring
for our temporal wants. Now, dear friends,

thanksgiving day was very generally
| observed in this section, and In yarions ways.
Some people went to church, some took in
the numerous shooting matches, and others
went hunting; but all took turkey IN their'n
for dinner. Services were held in Fort
Hill, st. Paul's, and the other Ironton
churches. The public schools were closed,
and the children observed the day to the

Thos. IL. Kent, ESQ.,, a few weeks since,
returned from Nevada, where he had been
mining in the Garfield district, Esmerelda

specimens which are now in this Office on
exhibition. The larger pieces are chloride
OF silver, and the smaller is horn silver--the
three running from $500 to $1,7OO per ton.
Mr.. 4. says wages are good out there, but
there are other conditions which offset the
money advantages to the miner.

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE

To the Editor Of the EVENING Journal.
1 have JUST received from Irving A.
Watson, NJ D., Secretary Of the Amer.
lean Public Health Association, a report
Of the Committee on the Pollution Of
Water Supplies read at meeting held al
Milwaukee. II is in neat pamphlet OF
ID pages, and is well worth reading. In
concluding the committee submits the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That it Is the well con
sidered belief of this association that it
Is an imperative necessity, especially in
the mere populous states, that state legis-
latures should give their boards Of health
that financial support which would en-
able them to act intelligentlv on all ques.
tlons pertaining to the public water sup
plies, investing them at the the same
time with the supervision of the said
supplies, and with power t. preserve
these waters from contamination by sew
age or other injurious matters.
The above resolution is very respect
fully referred TO the members of the
General Assembly of the State of Della
ware The subject of water pollution TO
the people of this state is Of more inn
portance than the election OF Ia United
States Senator. as a Senator cost but
$4,000 per annum. Now what did tv.
phoid fever cost the State of Delaware
during the year ending July /, 1882 We
can only estimate the cost of those who
died, because we do not know how many
recovered. Allowing two thirds Of those
who died to be adults the loss to the
state is $40, 0O0 10 say nothing Of doctor
bills, undertakers ami other expenses.
Add to this the loss of those who We're
sick and got well, and you viii find that
the cost Of typhoid fever in the State of
Delaware for the year 1888 viii amount
to at least 100000. But this
is not all, the anguish and sorrow
of the families how can the cost be esti-
mated in dollars and cents2 The ages of
the decedents range from 16 to45 years
Former Legislatures took little or no
interest in the health of the people Of this
state. The time has about arrived when !
the subject of preventative medicine sani- |
tation and hygiene will be the first and |
most important measures to be consid- |
cred. We expect this Legislature will |
carefully look into the subjects presented |
to them for their consideration and will |
comply with the resolution offered by a |
committee who are among the most learned /
IN their profession in this county. The re-.
ports should be spread among the peel Il 1
for after all, intelligence is what tells.
