FranklinYille Letter.
Mr.. EDITOR.

MIR. EDITOR.
have cndcavorcd from time
Ia time to write such matters that might
prove interesting to the readers of your val.
liable journal l have on several occasions
been accused of not reporting certain things
as they occur and my reason for not doing SO
is that it would cause trouble and in the end
be Of no interest to any person.
Our little village has been uncommonly
quiet since the flood. The large mill has
been on stand still and will remain so for
several months, at least, as there has been
nothing done vet towards the building of a
new dam. Our miller was quite fortunate
in having good lot of flour on hand before
the flood: has therefore been able to fill all
orders for flour and feed promptly.
A number of deep holes hayc been discov'
cred in our creek since the flood and hayc
already been named rs follows: "Rooty
Tree" "S,ulls" and estate Stone" holes; all
are near our town and contain 4 number of
nice fish, which fortunately cannot be caught
owing to the depth of the water.
! most heartily approve of the suggestion
made by our worthy editor in his last issue
in regard to the sugar business, and will be
one to join the party who is willing to take
the "ple" sour for couple days of each week,
although our town contains quite u bulk of
the article rs noticed a number of barrels
sitting in j. A. Colliflower's store.
One of MIR. John Eigenbrodc's cows wa
badly injured some days ago by being struck
by an east bound mail train, and at this
writing is able to walk about but will be a
cripple The COW was a valuable one.
AS yet We have heard no complaint from
the people of our immediate neighborhood
in regard to the fly pest which has been re-
~ ,rted from different sections of country.

OuR BAND INSTRUMENTS Within the
past eleven years the people of this town
have raised about SIX hundred dollars in
various ways for the purchase of instruments,
suits and other paraphernalia of a band. We
are not only without band, but so far as
the community that furnished the money for
their purchase is concerned, without instru-
mcnts, as no one authorized to represent the
people has charge Of them, but, the band
hayng by direct action having disorganizcd
and divided tue funds in the treasury, the
instruments are scattered over the town, in
the hands of whoever happened to get his
hands on them at the time Of the disorgani-
zation This is all wrong the Instruments
belong to the town and should be in the
possession of some one authorized by the
people to hold them. Will net some one
s,,crcs,t plan whereby this public property
NAV be s., cured and taken care of?

mt the Farmers Picnic, held on the Far
Grounds in Frederick on Saturday last, there
would be offered a purse tor some OF our

One of them was ruled out, that is to say
her speed being unknown. they fought shy OF
her as ringer" The other trottcr was en-
tered, but on his way down the back stretch
some one whispered the amount of the purse
and as Clay only "goes" for oats, he wouldn't
trot worth cent. When the purse was d.
yided between the winners of the three races
So. 90 went to each race, which we are tod
was allotted as follows: $500 to the first ;
5000 the second and 5000 TO the third. 1t
