time being expected on that day.
Mr. T. 11. Roberjsou has the
largest and most complete collec
tion of war relies in this part of

hibition. The collection is the
work of several years and has cost
the owner no small amount of
money.
The hard work and loss of time
being expended upon the foot-way
across Lookout creek East of Tren
ton recalls to our mind the fact
that a bridge should he built at
that point which would do away
with a vast amount of unnecessary
work, and provide a safe passage
across a trouble stream at all times
of the year. We once proposed a
plan for the building of said bridge
and invited the public or any in
dividual to show an objection why
the bridge should not be built—if
there is any objection sve would
like to know what the objection is,
and if it is'not such as the public
would be interested, in it is naught
and should not be vconsidered.

Should there be any considera
ble amount of rain this fall the
finest corn crop for many years in
Dade county, would he subject to
considerable damage.
We have never considered Mor
gauville a particularly bad place,
but when our boys drive too far in
that direction they generally come
back—not exactly right.
The News will “run agin” any
man who does not announce his
name for the office in which he
seeks—it's not so much the amount
but. the principal you know.
The brick building soon to be
completed by Fricks Brothers will
be a model of beauty and some
thing of which the people of Ris
ing Fawn shonld be proud.

The public burying ground at
the Baptist church, is a disgrace
to any community whether civil

dled iike a sieve.

industriously in hie tan yard prop
erty, and is Laying in a, stock, of
hides weekly. An enterprise of
whatever position is an aqusi
tion to our town that much, and
will be the basis for larger ones in
the future.
CHARITY vs INHIJMAMITY.
Last Friday there arrived in Tron
ten one of the most destitute fami
lies it has been our lot to look
upon. They started from Jackson
county, Ala., to Romo Gu., as their
destination, hut their wagon break
ing down on the road, the whole
family consisting of a mother and
six or seven children reached this
place with one blind horse as their
only mode of conveyance, with
their tatered garments, sunken
cheeks, and sallow complections
caused by sickness and hunger it
was enough to awaken sympathy
in the hardest of hearts. Our cit -
izens fed them, and with but one
exception all the care was bestowed
upon them possible. It being their
desire to go to Valley Head contri
butions were made and their tick
ets purchased for that point, but
after many (who thought one of
the daughters was unable to make
the trip) had attempted to induce
them to stay until they were bet
ter able to travel, that they were
alowed to *go, The charge that
Trenton “packed them off upon
Rising Frwn” is absolutely false
and without fondation. Their
tickets were purchased to Valle}'
Head at their request but from
some cause the conductor put them
off at Rising Fawn aud returned
them the difference in the fare.
No, the good people of Trenton
are ever ready to give their aid to
whom charity, is due. and the acts
of a few individuals are not charg
able to her citizens in general.
When we assumed the manage
ment of the “Valley Eagle” we did
so with a determination of making
it as high a grade of a county
weekly as the patronage it received
would justify, and our effort has
been to maintain that degree of
excellence consistent with the pre
ceding appreciation shown. The
running upon an economical basis
the necessary expences for issuing
our paper is twice as large as ever
incured by any one running a pa
per in the county. People grum
ble because their county paper is
not what they desire it, or what it
should be, yet their efforts to im
prove and sustain it do not justy
them in their complaints. We are
willing to contribute our time and
some little money for the success
of our county paper, if wo could
seethe public manifest such an in
terest as to lend us the necessary aid
in the matter. All seem satisfied if
they can sit down and read a paper
which has taken money and labor to
publish, and often without thought
of a back subscription account.
How many will try to increase the
circulation or in any way lend the
smallest contribution of their aid,
for the advancement of their
county paper. Within the next
thirty days we desire some mani
festation of an interest, and as a
test we will see how many citizens
of the county will send us new
subscribers for their paper. We
can get out a much cheaper paper
and with less labor on our part,
but it is not our desire to do so if
we can be sustained in the efforts
we are making to get out a paper
worthy the support of an iutelii j
gent public.
