For some 70 son, as yet unknown to
Us, not q copy OF The GAZETTE re .ched
this Office last week. II the fault lies
with those who handle the mails it is 8
thing to be looked int.
For two weeks past the weather has
been such a. to put to . severe test the
patience Of those who have be n trying
to make hay. Dulipg that time there
his been but one day without rain. often
but light local showers, but enough to
stop hay.making. But slow progress
made in the way Of thssshing, from the
same cause. BY the way, it is vel to
call attention to the fact that most OF
those who have charge of traction en-
gines. now 20 numerous. running to
and fro on our public roads, are paying
no attention TO the lev that requires OF
them, when moving, to keep . hand in
advance TO wan the traveller Of their
approach. The consequence il. that
on many Of our narrow roads with short
turos, and horses given to fright, We
are subject 10 great danger. don't
know exactly whose duty it ir, but
somebody ought to SEQ that such q
safeguard should not go UNDECIDED.
Possibly sssh violation il . case for the
grand jury.
Rev. M. Miller, Of Kentucky, is now
on visit here and will preach in Be-
thesda church on next Sabbath.
Miss Margaret Laekey,. Of Busna
Vista, who has been for several weeks
past on . visit ut her uncle's, Mr.. 4. N.
Anderson. will leave soon for her home.
We will miss her bright face and wish
for her early coming again.
Mr.. James Woods, who met with the
misfortune Of having his leg broken ten
days ago, is doing well, with . good
showing for getting out again as soon
a. is usual in such casez. .
The attendance ct Wilson'S IL unus.
ually small ct this time, but . week later
may suffice to give them Q crowd. The
fever scare Of last year may keep some
away, Blu. with proper police rsguls-
tons, which will, no doubt, be strictly
observed. there is certainly no ground
for serious apprehension in that psrtic.
ular. There is quite Q good company
