Mi aad mm. BQIIBS GATHERED HERE And THERE. o Send us a new subscriber for the News. Mrs. J. A. Cure ion is very sick with fever. Notice new announcements for office this issue. Dr. K. D. Davis, of Whiteside, was in town Tuesday. J. B, Williams made a trip to Chattanooga Tuesday. Superior Court will convene two weeks from next Monday. The senior editor boasts of being the most artistic painter in town. Keep your horse off of the side w ilk or the marshal will surely nab you. Sheriff Byrd is having his hands full serving papers relative to Su perior Court. It is said that Payton Pace rode his horse nearly to death to get home in time for street working. W. U. Jacoway and T. j. Lump kin are attending court at La fayette this week. WANTED, at this office, the ug liest and most "vicious bull dog to b o had—largo size preferod. These little street rackets do not amount to anything more than a nusiaiiee and should be abolished. P. B. Majors will sell you any thing in grocery line and at the lowest prices. The apperancc docket for the September Term of the Superior Court will he little above the aver age. T. J. Killpatrick, Mitch Pope and John Cureton are the three “Jumbos” of Dade’s political menagerie. The poj dilation of 'f'renton js on an increase—at least there seems to be more persons subject to road duty than ever before. The candidates for Representa tive will speak at Wildwood Satur day and at Hazwell Chapel Satur day night. Edward Forester and Gains Ta tum left for Texas Wednesday, where they expect to remain in definitely. Our streets are being put in the best condition, within the know ledge of the oldest inhabitants of the town. Col Brown, of Cole City, was in town Wednesday, and of course m ude a few hits on liis race for Coroner. The first offenders under the new administration will seek justice of of the new board of Commissioners at 4 o’clock this evening. It is said the Esquire Killpatrick has gone over in Teneseess on an electioneering tour —in fact we saw him very near the State line, The singing school is still going on at the M. E. church and will contiue on till after Sunday—a big 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 the country, which he proposes to exhibit at the Columbus Ohio Ex 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. Rain. Let it rain gradually. W. 0. Driggs spent last Sunday at home. Our little devil is the swiftest ruuner in town. Obe Bryant and Willis went to Chattanooga Tuesday. Crawford Stovall left for Rising Fawn last Thursday. We predict (but not as a pro phet) that there well ho more new buildings erected in Trenton in the twelve moths, that of any past time. Joe Kiser bought the blind sorrel from the Rome travelers, paying five dollars therefore. Get off the track boys, Joes’ “bound to git thar.” The R. R. Company unloaded two car loads of pressed brick on the side track ibis week, supposed to bo for the purpose of building new section houses. 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. Our little devil requsts us to an nounce that he will soon have on hand a tolerable heavy set of beard, and would be glad for all the young ladies would notice them. John L. Case has been quite sick but will soon be out again. John says walking the streets of Wash ington and working the streets of Trenton are two quite different things. The jaundice epidemic has not yet subsided and it will lake sev eral gallons more whisky, and the cherry trees will be pealed before tbe present cases are cured. We arc a sympathyzer. Should the }'oung ladies feel slighted, or our paper be lacking in sentimentalism this week we will apoiigize by saying our junior edi tor is away this weak in Chatta nooga. Our citizens seem to be waking up to the needs for better public roads, and more w’ork will be done upon public roads in the county this year than has been in any pro ceeding year. Dade county mules seome to be in demand in Walker. Kelso Allison made a sale of one mule at Layfayette this week for $1.50. Kelso should take a drove over at these prices. We favor the passage of a town ordinance to put ever v tramp (who takes up quarters in town) at work on the streets. This is getting to be a regular recruiting station for the whole fraternity. The public burying ground at the Baptist church, is a disgrace to any community whether civil ized or uncivized, and stepts should be taken at once to clear off and fence these grounds. • The “Dade Normal,” is again in first, class working order, and the patrons of the institution begin to realize that in the Messrs. Watsons they have secured the “right men men in the right place.” Bill Arp delivered a lecture at Cole City last Friday nigui, on “general subjects,” those who heard tno locture pronounce William’s wit of the purest type, and de clared his ability to interest an au dience. The Presbyterian church is badly in need of repairs in the way of window lights etc., while the Meth odist church might be improved wonderfully by a little paint upon tnot portion at least which has at leasr never been painted. It is a notieable fact that a man of a grum and moody don’t-know yonr-kind-of disposition can be the most clever and courteous when he enters a race for some Cilice, We admire the kind who are always clever or always grum. Should all the measures he adopted which have been proposed by the candidates for Representa tive. oui whole system of laws would undergo a change, and the constitution itself would be rid dled iike a sieve. Mr. G. M. Crabtree is working 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.
