ulation is at this time about the same
as it has been for the last fifteen years
and while these constant changes
have in u great measure, as in all 9TH
er towns on the line of the road, made
realty and business ventures very un-
certain and unreliable, still Carlin will
CO mpare very favorably with others,
east 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 a 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
more hourishing condition, and it
was found necessary at the opening
of the present term, not only to en-
large the school house, but to employ
an assistant. To find a teacher that
will give satisfaction to all is one of
the impossibilities, but, as far as 1
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 a 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. M. S. Riddle, but until such time
as we can have Sunday services, it
cannot be expected that railroad en-
ployes or others will take that inter
est that they would if otherwise.
Our Sunday school, organized i'll the
early seventies, has been Il continual
SUCCESS, and the ladies who have so
continuously given their time and at
~tention to so praisewortey a cause, de
serve and should receive the thanks
of parents and scholars. They will
receive their reward.

it very interesting for petty larceny

railroad towns.
Some real estate transactions have
recently taken place, one Of which
rumor says, may result in giving uf
another merchandise store. Mrs. ST
mon Barclay, who since the death Of
q her husband some years since, hai
lived a quiet, lonely life in her fine
dwelling just south of the library
' hall, and nearly adjoining the rail
