Your ever welcome paper comes regularly
to this Office and finds its own place In oui
homes and hearts; for the old GAZETTE has
lots OF friends; and, by the way, 1t seems to
grow better these times. We like the ring
OF "W's" letter in the issue OF the 14th. and
agree with him In what he said about "pay-
ing the full time OF the hired man even II he
only served him one month; not only that.
but pay his next man full wages for the
year II he does not come until nearly the
close OF 1t" Thisproves conclusively to the
hard working class that our public officers
have money to burn" Now, wouldn't it be
Tar more magnanimous TO give this surplus
fund to our poor old Confederate veterans,
VINO fought for us. and suffered all the
horrors war for four long years, and have
oeen ever since struggling hard to maintain
themselves, never calling upon the State for
help In any shape or form, not even an Office
Of any kind?
There is now In our midst trlo-two
aged bachelor brothers and one maiden sis.

that Is simply leroic, and they have never
murmurod or asked aid from the public
crib, How would 1t have done to have
taken the salary Of one OF these legislators, |
where the State had not received the SER
vices Of even one during the entire term. and |
given 1t to these two old veterans ? II does
not seem to my mind that 1t would take a
very brainy legislator to answer this ques.

No new cases smallpox have developed
The quarantine lines will be lifted the latter
part OF the month. Soon this dreadful NAL
ady will exist only in the memory Of the
past.
Last week two young Cunninghams jump
ed the quarantine line on a bear hunting ex-
pedition. The fact was reported to Mr.. H..
u, TeafOrd by the guard, who telephoned
for our magistrate, Mr.. Howard Wade. He
came at once, but failed to exactly locate
the young hunters who were probably hid
ing among the mountain cliffs Their par
ents paid the fine imposed by the law for
said offence The young men missed their
pleasure and game, and returned home later
in the day, to fully realize the definition Of
the word quarantine.
All the homes in which the smallpox oc-
cured are being thoroughly cleansed and
fumigated, so our Lexington friends need
not look with fear upon our Denmark
neighbors
The question OF new road on Lower
Kerr's Creek has been decided by the court.
The road will remain as it now is, and the
money proposed to be spent on the new road,
will go towards improving the old enc. or
course the decision, while agreeable 10
many, is disliked by others.
Our people are rejoicing in the change of |
mail carrier from Lexington to this section. |
We now have Master Glenwood Harlow,
who is regular and prompt in dischrging
his duty.
