which will add very much TO the en-.
ioyment Of good health,
1t is said that our daily mail will
resume operation in about ten days
Three mails week and as irregular as
they have been coming 10 US, don'l
suit the people, and we are anxious
for the time 10 come when our daily
mail is once more established.

a person was heard to remark on
Saturday morning last that it was a
pity that the Banner-Democrat was
the only paper in town. The man
who made this remark was never
known TO subscribe for home paper
in his life, and If a newspaper had 10
depend on his kind for living, it
wouldn't run but very short time.
In little paragraph in our last Issue
wc mentioned that lady was found
sick and had received attention from
the Kings Daughters, which we siDcc
learn is a mistake and that she did
not need the assistance or charity of
tho Kings daughters. II was not our
detention to do the lady an injury, aud
gave the local as il was given US.
Mr.. 6. G. Martin, representing l..
Landau 81 Co, Grocers, of 81. Lonis,
dropped in on Monday to see us. aud
to say that he was representing one OF
the best grocery houses in tho Culture
6 reat." Mr.. Martin is one OF The most
popular drummers that visits our
Town and never leaves without csptur-
ing book full of orders. We wish
him good luck with his new house.
The young men who attend church
Oh Sunday nights, should remember
that others go 10 the place Of worship
for the purpose of listening 10 the
minister, aud that their disorderly con-
duet is annoying. As they generally
take the back part Of the church aud
caunot be- seen by all, we think it
would be good idea 10 call names,
which we will do the next time we see
such conduct going on.
We took trip across tho river on
Sunday last on board of the little
steamer Carroll. aud found that the
lands that only week or ten days
ago we're entirely submerged by the
waters of the Mississippi, were dry
and that the crops had already been
planted. There is no doubt that good
crops will be made and that the depos.
| tie left on the land will be blessing
to the old worn out soil.
The closing exercises of our public
school on Friday evening last was a
pleasing entertainment. Every child
did remarkably well, which showed
credit upon themselves and upon the
teachers who had the undertaking in
hand. The exercises closed the most
successful year of our school, and as
we said last week, we hope TO see the
same corps of efficient teachers in
charge.
