site our.Lord Mayor to como down and
reside few days In the heart OF the
city. where he can have the full benefit
OF the railroad engines whistles these
sleepy mornings about 5 O'Clock. We
feel that that is all that Ia necessary to
get speedy and full enforcement of the
town ordinance as regards the above nui-
sance. The Ave long and loud and shrill
whistles this morning ut 3 O'Clock were
truly enough to awake the dead, to say
nothing OF the ire of.one live, peaceable
citizen. 1t is shame that such prac-
tices are tolerated, and In behalf of
many citizens, living adjacent to the de.
pot and side-traoks, we implore the i'm
mediate attention of the town council In
the matter.
The friends and relatives of Rev Phil
lips Werner, who were greatly alarmed

known he is safe and sound, prosecuting
the object of his mission to Africa.
"A large congregation attended sei-
vices at the Baptist church last Sunday
night. Rev. Mr.. Moore delivered his
last sermon as pastor of the Baptist
church here, as his resignation, rendered

to witness his departure, but hope to
have the pleasure of bis presence fire.
quently with them, as he will continue
his pastoral relations at Westminster.

off his little piece on the coming (p) of
spring, which for certainty he hasn't
failed to give us since our earliest recol-
lections, Several years ago), something
relative to the "voice of the turtledove
being heard in the land" Brown says
it has already appeared, but we don't
believe 1t, for we've had snow and sleet
both since the last issuel And besides
we didn't see it.
Mrs. II. f. Alexander's friends regret
that she continues quite indisposed, after
an attack of grip while in Atlanta.
The condition of the cemetery here is
not calculated to reflect any great amount
Of credit on our town. We have often
heard, and have almost as often quoted,
that "a town is known by it's cemeteries
very desolate, eglected-looking spot;
and in connection with the subject we
quote the following from. one of our
ladies, of very recent date: "I have told
John that l don't want to be buried
there, and he is puzzling over where to
lay me-" Alasl alasl

authority that recently, when one of
eligibles chanced to side track
here for a few hours, there were repeated
and strenuous efforts on his part to get a
view of that aforesaid flower garden,
which we mentioned in recent letter.
