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. Oliiiua. j.

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.

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. Mr. Boss Rozar luts found his hogs that bo has been hunting for several weeks. No more at present. Yours, truly, A Well Wisher. LiillinS* from Cochran. Cochran, Ga., Nov. 15. llev. P. A. Jessup was in town Mon¬ day.

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 Auown affection's cloudless sky.

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.
