WANT REV MIR ELMER TO REMAIN.
 Rival subscription papers are being cir culated, one to raise money with which to cancel the indebtedness of the Baptist society to the Rev E. B. Elmer, the other to raise funds to pay his salary for the coming year. The former and older paper was started by few members who opposed to MT Elmer and wished to have him resign the first of April. The second paper was started by his friends, who comprise the larger portion of the church and who are anxious to re- tain Mir Elmer. At this time of writing it seems probable that MT Elmer will be prevailed upon to remain with us and that his future salary will be assured.

 Two hunting expeditions have served to modify the monotony that hangs over our quiet existence. Some gentlemen, believed to be of a dusky complexion, visited the hen houses of two inhabitants of Gooseborough and rified them of sev. eral fine birds. They did not get away with all they captured, however, as two fowls in bag were found next morning near. Thomas Goes corner. The other hunt was made by the school children and their game was the mice which in- fest the schoolhouse. About a dozen have ended their days in devious manners but there are still enough left to make considerable sport.
