CARRIERS MILLS.

1t seems winter was late in arriving,
but the past few days demonstrated the
fact that it got here all the same. 1t
found quite a number short OF wood,
and the fun they had in graphing and
hauling it out of the snow, will teach
a lesson they will not oon forget. The
snow, lying on the ground the past few
days, is fine on wheat, but it is death
on rabbits. Walter CARRIER and Ellis
Denton report having killed seventeen
rabbits each n day last week. Bnt
as the proof has not been produced,
their tales have been received with
some degree of allowance. The grip,
which was so prevalent in this section
recently, has about spent its force and
gone into retirement. A few of our old
people, however, are still housed up
with it. VIM. Ray, and W. H. Jones,
Mrs. McMackin and others, who we're
seriously i'll with it, we areglad to note
are convalescing. Robert RAY, who
has been s%ojourning in Texas the past
Few months, returned home a few DAYS
ago on account Of the serious illness of
his father. Married-on the oath, at
the residence of Mrs. ]. T. Barker. Cal.

CARRIER, Esq., officiating. Nav peace,
prosperity and happiness go with them
as they travel through the stormy
paths of life. We noticed a two inch
smile on Jim Hunters face a few DAYS
ago, and on asking the cause, was told
he had a newly arrived Republican
boy at his house. A smile of similar d.
mansions was also seen upon Nat Con-
stable, and upon inquiring was told the
aus was the same. A wreck occurred
on the Embreville Road during the
snow storm of last Wednesday; the
mail, which is carried On a lever car,
came in contact with an Embreyille
work train, causing the complete de-.
struction of the lever car, and much
damage to two box cars loaded with
iron. The coke train, coming in soon
after, was delayed several hours on ac-
count of the wreck. Fortunately no
one was hurt. Two hacks -one of Mr..
Anderson's, the other Mr.. Squibb's,
loaded with drunken men, bound for
Embreville, ra into a ditch zeal here
one night last week in which both were
upset and all parties thrown into the
ditch in a promiscuous heap. 1t seems
almost a miracle that no one was hurt,
One hack was badly demolished, while
the damage done the other was slight.
We understand the differences between
the Embreville Iron Compony and mar.
ties on Nolachucky River, in regard to
the muddying of the river, caused bv
washing ores, has been satisfactorily adj.
Justed n no attempt will be made stop
ore washing. This is highly satisfactory
70 a large proportion of our citizens in
this section. The stopping Of the works
would have been a great calamity to
hundreds of people dependent upon
them for a livelihood. The bridge cues
ton is being agitated among our peo-
pie, and the universal sentiment of
citizens favor a bridge at or near Dead.
erick's Ford. Quite a considerable
amount has been subscribed by respon.
sible citizens andi it is hoped our County
Court will speedily take the matter in
hand and make the necessary appropri-
alton to build it at once. Walter Gar.

AS we have a years funds on hand un.

Bass, who has been holding a series OF
meetings at Allentown, returned home
last Saturday. Our tax payers are
