er towns on the line OF the road, made
realty and business ventures very I'M
certain and unreliable, still Carlin will
compare very favorably with others,
enst and west. Since the big strike,
the personnel Of the place has materi-
ally changed; many families came
here immediately after the strike,
the fathers taking the places of those
discharged, and quite u number have
left, and the change has materially
added to the population, especially
in women and children.
Our school, under the able manage
ment OF Mrs. Miller, formerly OF Ala.
media, California, has never been in a
moro tlourishing condition, and it
was found necessary Mt the opening
OF the present term, not only to en-
large the school house, but to employ
an assistant. To find Il teacher that
will give satisfaction to all is one of
the impossibilities, but, as far MS |
am able to judge from information
derived from the scholars, the ones
most directly interested, she comes
the nearest OF so doing of any teacher
we have had for n long time. The en-
tertainment given by the scholars, I'M
der her supervision, on Wednesday
last, was alike creditable to both
teacher and pupils.
Religious services are held every
now and then, under the guidance of
Rev. NJ. S. Riddle, but until such time
3 we can have Sunday services, it
cannot be expected that railroad en-
ployes or others will take that inter
est that they would il otherwise.
Our Sunday school, organized in the
early seventies, has been n continual
success, and the ladies' who have SO
continuously given their time and at.
tention to SO praisewortey a cause, dc.
serve and should receive the thanks
OF parents and scholars. They will
receive their reward.
Quite number OF new dwellings
have recently been erected, among
which Il nice residence for Mr.. WIN.
Ennor's family, formerly OF Tuscaro.
IA. They expect to occupy their new
house i'll u few days.
Jim Dougherty and wife, who have
recently bought and taken charge of
the railroad hotel are becoming very
pupular; not only with the railroad
boys, but with all whom they become
acquainted. Well and favorably
known before coming here adds much
to their assured uccess Bob Coz
zens who sold the property and who
by untiring industry, hard work and
business capacity, built up u lucra.
tive business is still with us, and as
constable OF the township is making
1t very interesting for petty larceny
thieves, burglars and wrong-doers who
are always to be found more or less in
railroad towns.
Some real estate transactions have
recently taken place, one OF which,
umo says, may result in giving lis
another merchandise store. Mrs. 81.
mon Barclay, who since the death of
her husband some years since, has
lived Il quiet, lonely life in her fine
dwelling Just south OF the library
hall, and nearly adjoining the rail.
road hotel, has sold her house and
furniture to Thos. Griffin and will
very soon leave for Southern Califor.
mia to reside. AS III exemplary Chris.

wish for her many years OF happiness
md prosperity wherever her lot may
be cast. Tho location Of the property
ID second to none for a business OF
any kind. Tom Griffin, always on
the lookout for fat beef, or fat bnr.
gains OF any kind, has bought the
property and has been offered II liber.
