Death. which we consider in the
character OF a tyrant. occasionally
comes this way and claims infants
and adults-the former ignorant Of
moral evil aud the latter aware that
It has sunk man beneath his print
tive rank in the scale o. created ex-
cellencey.
No impounding of horses, oxen.
sheep, hogs. etc. Owners are aware
that the rules of eternal right are
unknown to brutes and they keep
their horses, etc, within their re-
spective Enclosures.
Some persons complain Of chills.
Quinine is said to be specific in
this disease. We have known il TO
be administered in cases of chills,
and il was as Intellectual as the pan
acea of the charlatan.
A considerable number of pupils
attend the primary schools Of the
district; and they seem to be pro-
crossing fairly well. Toll is the
price acknowledge. True, there are
difficulties in the way, and numbers
OF pupils, perhaps, would rejoice to
be learned, were il not for toll.
Politicians are considering prob
abilities. When a copper cent is
thrown into the air, the chances of
heads and tails are equal. OF
course the sides of the coin must be
equal in weight, otherwise it would
be like the grumbler's bread and
butter. A short time win tell which
candidates bread will fall upon the
sanded floor and on the butfered
side. Ii the colored republicans
vote solely against the Amendment,
that is, eSchew candidates, the fus-
ion candidates will take their posi-
ton In the uninteresting background
their bread will fall, alas upon
the sanded floor, and, forsooth, on
the buttered side.
No Norman elders pass this way
with pamphlets replete with quota
tons taken from the Book of Nor
man" which was written by Solo
man Spaulding and not from the
golden plates which Joseph Smith
claimed that he found in a hill near
Manchester, n. Y, the angel Moroni
directing him.
No old fashion Southern corn
stockings take place as formerly.
How we miss theml
How beautiful! See those gum
trees, how stately they appear in the
distance and their foliage is varie-
gated. As ihe chloroptyl gradually
disappears, the leaves-palmate,
rounded and smooth-are dotted
with red, yellow and chrome green.
Roads in excellent condition.
Young men who have left the dis
trict to seek their fortune are doing
well. An honest individuality is
their trade mark, and they find that
there is demand for the products of
their labor without forcing the
market.
Frost has been seen. The tenn
perature varies from 10 TO 32 degrees.
Chestnuts, acorns and persimmons
are plentiful.
Recently, MIR. Baker Herbert, of
Smith S Creek, shipped fourteen QD
turkeys to /. Cook Il Son, Baltimore,
and they Melted S24 80. Beat this
somebody, please.
The old stand at St. Inigo's is full
of lnerch hdise and the proprietors,
MesSrs. Geo. NJ. Bohanan and Com
pany, sell at reasonable figures for
cash or its equivalent.
We notice that the farmers OF st.
Mary's City and Blue Stone sections
have no trouble TO get employees.
Prompt settlement and substantial
food are the two causes which in
sure their success.
Oystermen are making money.
How they work What muscular
arms. No violations of the oyster
law that we know of.
Cupid is bestirring himself, and
he is not very particular whether
young Miss Frippery sells herself
to old Mr.. Hoarfrost or not. Money
is potential. Poor Tom Spooner is
sacrificed. Boho! AZzANA.
