Our Town Government.
Editor Journal: Few towns in
ihe souili are more progressive than
Eastman in business, education, law
and order. We revert with pride to
the days of pioneer life in Dodge coun¬
ty and trace the rapid dovelopcincnt
of here resources, the establishment of
good and useful institutions, and the
well directed efforts of our law mak¬
ers to encourage capital and protect so¬
ciety. The Journal is properly rocog
nized by our people as a potential aux¬
iliary in advancing the best interests
of town and country ; it is up with the
times to prepare for every future ex¬
igency and record Ihe movements of
our representatives in their various
spheres, therefore I am surprised to see
no publication ofliic town ordinances
in your paper. This is a subject of
sonic comment just now, by reason of
certain inconveniences our merchant*
have suffered through ignorance of ihe
proceedings ot thccouncil Our neigh¬
boring towns publish their ordinances
in the Journal —Chauncey's ordi¬
nances are published lour times a year,
while purs are practically withheld
from the public. The advantages of
such publication are self evtdein, and
I need not consume valuable space to
argue that point, tor there is probably
not a tax payer in Eastman who does
not take Ihe Journal and would not
like to see in its columns the formation
and cliangesof ordinances and a state¬
ment of (lie distribution of funds lor
which they arc taxed, however just
and wise that distribution may be.

Tlic Town Ordinance)*.
Elsewhere m this issue will be found
a communication from “Observer,”
making inquiries as to why the town
ordinances of Eastman for 1887 have
not been published in the local paper,
or otherwise made public. We are
not prepared to answer the questions
nropounded by “Observer,” but the
council donbtlcss think the publica¬
tion of the ordinances in their local
paper unnecessary, the expenditure of
funds therefor too great or sonic other
reason, lienee tln-ir non-appearance.—
The ordinances of the town were pub¬
lished in pamphlet form a few years
ago, but since then the incoming coun¬
cils have passed new ordinances, mod¬
ified oh! ones, imposed sjieciai taxes,
etc., until a republication in some form
is certainly very essential. A number
of new ordinances arc now in force, of
which our citizens are ent’rcly igno
rant, owing to the fact that they have
never been published. We would sug¬
gest in this connection that the council
also have published, at least quarterly,
a report from tlie treasurer of the fi¬
nancial standing of the town. It will
be quite an item of interest to our tax
pavers.
Another Robbery.
5Ir. II. J. Sapp, on County Road,
was the victim of the burglars ou Fri¬
day night last. They effected an en¬
trance through one of Ihe front win¬
dows by forcing open the shutter and
breaking one of the large panes of
glass. It seems that the thief or thieves
then opened the back door, which fas¬
tens with a bar, and thus had free
egress and ingress to tlie building.
A large amount of goods arc missing
from the store, and must have been
carried away in a cart or wagon. The
goods consisted of groceries, dry goods
and shoes, besides many little notions.
Among the many things gone, Mr.
Sapp misses 1 bolt of worsted dres*
goods. 1 bolt of alpacca, 2 bolt* of llan
ne!. bleaching and homespun* by the
half bolts, a large lot of gents’ under
ware, 2 bolts of sheeting, several doz¬
en pairs of gent*’ and ladies’ ii jcs, 12 !
or 15 pairs of fine shoes for gents and
ladies, besides many small articles,
such as handkerchief*, collars, etc.
In the grocery line the robbers laid
in quite a neat little stock, consisting
of two barrels of flour, in sacks, sever¬
al packages of hosford's baking pow¬
der, meal, meat, tobacco, cigars, snuff,
etc.
As vet there is no clue to tlie perpe¬
trators of this w holesale robbery, and
wo suppose the rascals will go un¬
sought for and unmolested.
It is strange that, some steps arc not
taken toward* ferreting out these rob¬
beries, which are of almost weekly oc¬
currence in our town. It isau increas¬
ing evil, and should be put down.
Some suggest that the council employ
a night-watchman for the town. The
suggestion is doubtless a good one. and
we trust that our city fathers will take
some action m the matter.

The attention of the public i* direct¬
ed to a notice in this issue signed by
the Amoskcag Lumber C*., offering
$100 reward for information with
proof to convict-the person or persons
who burglaiized their store on the
night of the 12th in*t.
This robbing of stores and dwellings
in out town and vicinity has been of
almost weekly occurrence for many
months, the thief or thieves in each
case going umolested—no effort ever
being made to overtake them or the
stolen good«, but in this instance the
Amoskcag Lumber Co. were the vic¬
tims, and we arc glad to note the fact
that they have the courage and nerve
to offer a handsome reward for the
lobbers, and are leaving nothing un¬
done that will tend to have them ar¬
rested and brought to justice. See the
notice elsewhere, and do all in your
power to rid the community of such
citizens.
A Large Tree,
Editor Journal : I have just heard
of a pine tree that was larger in every
dimension than the one made mention
of in your paper some weeks ago.
Messrs. James Allen, Billie Deft re
and Torn Yearly cut down a pine tree
of the short straw variety in Walden’s
creek swamp, near what is known as
the cypress lake, from which thoy
rived over 5.000 two-foot boards. The
first four blocks made 1,107 boards,
and one cut of the four made 303 —
The first seven blocks made over 2,009.
These gent lumen sawed off 22 blocks
of said tree, from wffiich they rived,
by actual count, 5,000 all good heart
boards, that will average 5 inches in
width. And they *ay there is enough
of this immense monarch of the forest
left, if sawed into plank, lo build a
small house.

Below will be found the word* of
this beautiful old love song, which will
brighten many eyes that fix npoii
them. After almost a generation of
oblivion, the dear old song has made
its reappearance, and for the sake of
scrap-books and the sake jf old times,
we give It space.
“Lorena” was one of the best known
of the war songs. It is simple, full of
sejitiment, easily sung and always ef¬
fective. The bauds played it along with
“Tito Girl I Left Behind Mo” nml
“Down Upon the S’wanoo River” on
dress parade#. “Loremi” was tiie
“long suit” of the band that u*ed to
play iu Capital Square, Richmond, du¬
ring the promenade hour, when tlte
wealth and botiulv and gallantry of
the capital ahd iho Confederacy were
gathered there.
But it was in the camp* that “Lore¬
na” held court. Usually, the first three
verses and the last were sung by the
moss soloist at the fireside, while in
profound attention and ilmosi every
conceivable attitude the soldiei-sgatli
ered around. Men who never knew
they possessed a’Soul for music” some
times wept at its singing.
The song is dead, like the host* that
heard it, but it served its purpose, and
rings yet iu tlte memory of old •■am¬
paigners.
Theauthor of’‘Lorena” is unk nown.
But i* alleged to have been written by
a poor young lawyer of Kentucky, af
ter being refused by wealthy parent*
the hand of their daughter in ntar
riage. They opposed her union with
a poor young iawvcr, and she would
not wed against tlicit* will—•hence the
separation of the lovers.
LORENA.
Th« years creep slowly by Lorena,
The snow is on the grass again;
But the heart throbs on as warmly now
Ah when the Hummer days were nigh:
Oh! the sun can never (lip(io low

A hundred months have passed, Lorena,
Since last I held that band in mine.
And felt the inline beat fast, Lorena,
Though mine heat Castor Car than thine.
A hundred months ’twns flowery Mar,
When up that hilly slope we climbed
To watch the dying of the day
And hear the distant church bells chime
We loved each other then, Lorena,
More than we ever dare to tell;
And w hat we might have been, Lorena,
Had but our loving* prospered well.
But then ’tit* past, the years are gone.
I’ll not call up their shadowy forms:
I’ll »ay to them—lost rears, sleep on—
Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storms,

To even a casual observer the Ittlure
probabilities of Eastman in particular,
and this entire section of country iu
general, is to say the least of it, very
flattering. We have the finest climate
in the world, one of the best towns in
the South, and as good farming lands
as can bo found anywhere, to say noth¬
ing of the very purest of water, llut
this is not all.
Tlte prospects of Eastman becoming
a great railroad centre approaches a#
near a certainty as any future event
pdsstbly could. In the first place, we
already have the E. T. V. & Ga. llail
wav, one ot tlte best equipped road
ill the United States. This magnifi¬
cent thoroughfare extends from Bruns¬
wick, in this State, to Cincinnati Ohio.
Secondly, there is the Savannah &
Hestcrn, now in course of construc¬
tion., Eastman will lie tho terminus
of this road, and the benefits to be de¬
rived to the town from it are simply
incalculable. Thi* road may of course
be put down as a^evlainty.

would buy fruit Irom the Mormon

stations. They all scent happy and
contented, and with all of the travel¬
ing I have overdone, 1 have yet to see
any agricultural section of country
equal in appearance to the M>>i mott
country. Their farms are all well
tended, their houses and fences are in
good order, and everything around
them hearing a thrifty, energetic, go

ery hand. No wonder the Mormon
church flourish's if they get and re¬
ceive a tent h ol everything rtti-ed in
Hitch a section as they have and live
hi.
We are now nearing the famous
Echo and Webber cannon*, where it
will be remembered by many of lour
reader* the Mormons killed a good
many Federal soldiers a few years
ago by getting onto down the mountain*
and rolling stones upon tho
soldier* who were puistt’iig them.
The scenery along the route through
these cannons is simply grand beyond
