'-We have gotten out one of Mitch Pope’s “writ of coni poodles” to find a man who can give a common sense reason why Dade county should not have two or more iron bridges. Two countrymen were leaning over the new iron fence around the court house, when one remarked, “well maybe it. will keep the town hogs from eating up our county officers.” A neat and .substantial iron fence now surrounds the -court house. At ;i cost of $340,00 the general appearance of the grounds and building is much improved, besides being a paotection to the property. Prof. M. M. Allison loaded his pipe with tobacco loose in his pocket and by mistake droped in a rifle cartridge, which exploded Anyone finding a small piece of a chalk pipe will please return it to the Professor. The noblest work of God is the man who enthusiastically renders his support to his home paper.

Maxwell. The little one suffered several days. The burial took place Wednesday at the Baptist church yard. The saloon men of Trenton cer tainly can’t complain of dull times tiiis week. Everything seems to. have been on a “whiz” or the edi l tor has been most gloriously drunk. An old cedar bucket which has withstood rough usage at the depot for twenty one years at last suc cumbed to inevitable fare yester day. Around this bucket hangeth many 7 a tale. A “yaller jacket” struck upon Bob Lodger’s neck, rook a,down ward course along toe spinal col umn underneath the folds of his shirt, stinging as he went. —“Who did that ?” exclaimed the irate manipulator of the key.—“l did it with my little jacket” answered Jerome Williams. “Ker-dilT ! Iver-thump!”—‘No, 1 did’nt.”— “Then why m the douce did you say you did.” An immediate ap plication of a few plugs of tobac co healed the wounds.—“ Shake.” It Might Have Been. When S. C. hosier came to Trenton and asked thrt, Trenton make a bid for the extensive Pitts burg plant .about to be moved south, many of us made conces sions which we at the time thought dispropotionate with Ihe benefits we were to receive. What we did was with’ grave doubts and a care less indifference ever characteris tic of our past manner of doing things. Tim future characterized us as being the “most utterly” blind communi ly that God ever placed upon tins earth. We said .our hid wss too large, while at heart we reccoued upon the dollars eve would make should our bid he accepted. We thought other communities incapable of seeing a good thing, and supposed them, like ourselves, too greedy to profit by ir. Jasper is on top and Trenton is in the lurch. The enterprising land liberal people .of Jasper are to j be commended for their good sense and wise conduct, while a few folks in Trenton ought to go out and hang themselves. This being done we are ready to profit by our j past foolishness and bring Trenton Ito the front. Let us quit being fools and close fisted, selfish cranks and put our shoulders to the wheel, our money in the common treasury and step to the front where generous nature enables us 1 to lead. BOSTb! That Will Not Down. An extremely ignorant persons may be a firm believer in ghostly aparations, but one of a cultured intellect never believes, yet he may meet with a peronal experience involving unexplainable sights and sounds. That Dado county has within all her extensive boundary anything akin to ghosts we will not pretend to assert; but that the young men of the furnace who have occasion to travel the railroad a‘ night be tween the furnace and Rising Fawn, are losing sleep trying to solve a mystery is certainly true. Frank Corput. Dock Mcßrayer, Jules Shropshire end other young men equally temperate and relia ble to-getherjwith several furnace darkies have encountered what we will call a ghost for want of a, bol ter name. It appears upon the railroad between the bridge and the road crossing, sometimes black and sometimes white, sometimes large and sometimes small. Frank Corput was walking from Rising Fawn to the furnace one night when he heard something on the raiiroad behind him, turning around he saw a dark mass of something about the size of a large dog but which had neither head nor feet. A pistol shot caused die object to vanish mysteriously Horn sight. After going a few yards further Fran k I coked back over hi s shoulder only to see the same sight only within a few feet of him. Two pistol shots again caused the mysterious object to disappear without his seeing it any more. Frank “toted” without looking again for the ghost that night. Jules Shropshire s-vw the same object cross the load one night im mediately in front of him and de scribes it as resembling ‘a moving wash-pot of goodly dimensions.” Jules had’nt much vime'forpnvesti gation as he bad started to the sa loon for some whisky for Ed. Brazeßon who had bouu bitten by a snake. Just after Jules had reached the saloon a darkey came running in with eyes standing out upon stems and leportedhaving seen the same thing at the same place. Those who saw the darkey ut the time, and are acquainted with Jules won’t accuse Jules with fixing up “corroborating circumstances.” Dock Mcßrayer and a young man pamed Howard fired several shots at a “white ghost” at the road crossing but to see the ghost disap pear at each shot, only to return again, grew monotinous after ten ordweJve.shots had been fired, and Dock remembering that he had left his shop door open ran down to close it—from the inside. These little adventures are said to he quite common with ihose who travel the railroad at night. We give only a few tacts as re lated to us by the parti* who had the extreme n!easure(?) of meet ing a real ghost. All who believe in theexisfance of a ghost about Rising Fawn will please pay up their subscription account at once. i'oat ;mil Iron For several years Rising Fawn iron made from Coal City coke and Dade county ore, ranked with the best grades of iron in the northern market. Recently the Dade Coal company, at the expense of $35,- 000 have erected a coal washing machine, the onlv on* of its kind in America. The Dade coke is now pronounced by experts to be equal, if not superior to the famous Pochahontas coke. With extensive veins of both bard ana soft ore within one mile of Trenton and this coal less than two miles distant, why should Trenton not be an iron manufac turing town ? Why should New England stand still with these metals to be found wherever sought ? Dade county should he plastered all over with the word “misman agement.” Debating Society- Last night about fifteen persons mot at the court house and pro ceeded to organize a Literary Society. J>.
