Newsy Notes from Newry.

| Newry, March 20.-After reading the
many interesting and newsy letters from
the various sections of our county in
your paper, and not seeing ANYTHING
from down here, we thought that we
would let your many readers know that
we were yet above ground and still g

anticipations when these cold, wintry
days will end, and the bright, warm aud

finest season of the year. To this season
we look back as our happiest days, and

days. So, with spring approaching, and
this being candidate year, we will be
sadly disappointed if we don't soon hear
of some of JbOse'good and harmless ami
mails that come around in such numbers
| every election year, crawling out of their
shells aud crying for help. Boys, let US
hear from you and know who you are,
and what you want.

In conclusion, we desire to say word
about the laboring people at Newry.
First, we have been here among them for
the past twelve years, and have had inti-
mate dealings with them for all these
years. and for square dealings and a re-
gard for promise, we never dealt with a
people that excelled them along these
lines. Besides, more law. abiding peo-
pie cannot be found anywhere. r.
