An old mnn linin' and Backus, of Ilarul aon county, who died a few days ago, left the strange request ilmt his cofliu should oostain neither nail nor screw. His wishes were c replied with, but no explanation of the whim is given. We lenrn that Mesons and Harlem have abolished their quarantine against Thomson, while Washington has hut lately enacted one. The excitement dis appeared from Thomson several weeks ago, hut it. seems to stnko our neigh bors iu wavee.

Prohibition feutioients urc very strong • in Wilkes county. The Ornette, a sprightly paper pub lished in Wash hurt on, this county, has some g.uel words for prohibition iu re e*’ t numbers. There is more dissipation among young men in certain portions of thin chinny titan nt any t are since the war. It is uncommon, at some of the churches to tec young men drunk.

Wi’Lt* Comity, Oa., Feb. ISift, 1 Tho Warren ton Clipper of the 25fb ! has this: “During the height of the ex citement in Warren!on, incident to the prevalenc of smallpox in Thomson, a strange white woman, hailing from the latter place, made her cppearencc here in the night-time. Bhe applied at the hotel for lodging, which being refused, She afterwards went to the house of Bet oral negroes And asked to be permitted to f-p< nd the night. The quarantine po lire being apprised of her presence, gave tin town a thorough search, but hided to discover her wher<id>v.U.

Bonsvilic G*t., March 4, 1885. KEEP COOL. Our readers will remember that, in h reoeol issue, wc copied And commented on an editorial of tho Wurreuton Clipper upon tho subject of tho smallpox in Thomson. We regret that our esteemed neighbor has misconstrued our meaning. In his last issue Brother Paltillo attri bute*! the article mentioned to tho “pet tish ness and impatience of the sick room, and the bilHousuess consequent upon '‘qunritutiuu" restraint.” This is a grievous mistake. If ho hod copied our article into his columns Ids renders won) i have seen that there lias been no epidem ic of smallpox in this place and that the wild, exaggerated reports concerning it were unfounded, and were inflicting a severe and entirely unnecessary injur'* upon our town. They would have also seen that we expressly stated that the people of Thomson have not objected to the remarkable precautionary measures adopted by Warreutou. Their “quaian fcitio” bus given ns no tumble w • ttever, certainly not enough to make any od> “pettish.” Moreover, the renders of the Clipper would have failed to detect in our Article even tho remotest symp'oms of “pettishneH.s, impatience or billions -1105 s.*' However, tho trouble is now past. The injury iuflioted by tho pit s, noe of smallpox in our town, whether it “rag* td” or not, has been bravely borne and cannot now be remedied, and we feel too grateful for our escape from tlm scourg to compare “billumsuess” with Brother Pittillo, or anybody else. Wo trust hi will read lhe statement of our citizens published elsewhere, give his readers the substance of what they stale and then lay aside his nervousness about smallpox and come ovt r and see us. BETWEEN THE DITCHES. 11Y DUMPS. After several weeks of cold, unpleas ant weather, we Jmvo hud a week of good weal bar, and the farmers have gone ahead and made up for lost time, com* hosting, plowing, and some ar making fence*, who have been working sinot Obristmna at the cross-tie l UKnn , s.v.
