Local questions should be decided by th e parties directly interested. Ouj party may have received a mortal blow, but our principles will yet form an important feature in a future reformation oi our gov ernment affairs. Why not work our ‘chain gang’ men upon our public roads, since they are kept in our jail until their sentence expires, and save a great expense to the county? A verbal joke dont have the ef fect on a mans sense of justice as one printed in a newspaper. Little boys might be expected to resent any joke which they are likely to to take as degrading to their loft}’ manhood, but for old men to “fly off the handle”—such a case is hard to diagnose, Our neighbor, the “Messenger” comes out this week with a brist ling denial of the wild man story purporting to be from Messim. C. M. Tatum and J. L. Quinton, but which sounds very much like a lawyer had been hired to write their reply or else took pleasure in charging us with malice in getting up the little inoffensive “fib”. We would have published their reply and assured them that it would have gone to the same par ties who had received our account of the wild man. Why should they submit their'grievance to the Meeseuger? Em Blevins made a few pur chases this morning at the store of Hughes Bros, and was handed back one dollar of his money.he being the 25th cash customer for the amount of one doliar.

When the Chattanooga Times of the 6th stated that Charley Sutton was expected ter come to town and vote the Republican ticket, it doubtless was not aware that Char ley had ceased to take an active in terest in politics. If there is a poorer man‘‘iu Dade county than the editor of this pa per we would Jiko to soe him and extend mutual sympathies, yet we are opposed to the proposed tax for road purposes, This “poor man” racket is all popyy cock and does not enter into the ques tion at all, since we are opposed to the measure for other reasons. COMUNICA 1 ED WILDWOOD. The dull monotony of our little “ Ville” was broken by a sociable, 3iven at the newly finished resi dence af Mr. Lee Pope„, which was highly enjoyed by all present. The crowd assembled at 7 o’clock p. m. and dispersed at 12:30. All were well pleased with the nights pro ceedings. This city is quite notorious for new buildings just now.

LOCUMTERSES. A MISTAKE CORRECTED, Newspaper men are often mis taken and are led to publish things not altogether true. Last week we published an account of a Wild Man supposed to have been seen by Messrs. Tatum and Quinton, but it now turns out that there was 0 no Wild Man at all, only the gen tlemen above named happened to meet off in the Sitton Gulf and each thought the other to be a wild man, and both fled in opposite di rections. It was not till they had gotten together and began relating their adventures that they discov ered the mistake into which they had led an innocent editor. We are always willing to correct errors, and are glad to say we were mis taken in regard to the Wild Man article of last week, YOUNG ROMEO AND A YOUNG ER JULIET. Brock Dean and Miss Pallie Sitton were married at Wauhatcnie Wednesday uight. A double hack carried the party to the aj?ove place where a friend met them with marriage license, after whieh they returned to face the pleasure or displeasure o. the young bride’s parents.

Our worthy contemporary, the C’tizeu gives up the following, after quoting our little tirade on the local merchants: “The Dade County News is the name of a paper published at Tren ton, in the State of Dade, It is a very good paper and has an inde pendance of style that may be very laudable ; but whether it is ex ercised with disreetion is another thing. Our not very amiable con temporary is now engaged in a warefare with the merchants of his town, The last issue of the paper contained a large space in the ad vertising cohnns with the following significant vords. Sacred to the memory of the Dade county mer chants. It begin to get interesting when the paper gets down editori ally to say, etc. It may not be any of cur business but at the same time we cannot help but be lieve such a warfare on part of a nwespaper against any class of people of its town is ill advised. One of the greater needs of a news paper to a town is to build up and not tear down. The soul of the News editor may have been tor turted by the refusal of his mer chants to patronize his paper, but on this account he should not let his temper get the better of his judgement The only; excuse to see for hie action is that, the mer -0 chants my really be extortions and if this be the case they will merit their punishment.” To theicharge of “indiscretion” and a lack of amibility we might effectly plead to the juris diction of our most worthy court, and be decided as the Citizen intimate—that “it is -nome of their business,” but as you tstre too little Charley to understand all these things w r e will just explain. Our business is as much the patronage of our .ocal mer chants, as they deserve our pat ronage and that of our citizens, and when they fail to patronize us it isjnot our duty to build them to the injury of the larger class of ouj patrons’ We fought, we bled, but we didn’t die—we won. Look at that thatjspace you refer to in the South-easLcoroner of our paper, aou ,/\ m-» sign of our victory. We werr on the right side and were bound to win. Now just confess "it was none os your bnsi ines,” and that you “did not un derstand” dear Chrrley, and you may go. , Our opportunities for knowing what we should do, and bow we should conduct our ewu paper in our own locality we think, should give oiu ideas some precedence in this matter, although the most high and worty Citizen should as sume the right to dictate our u course. Without claiming to know anything of the facts, the citizen is able to condem our action. There is something more than human in all this ability displayed by the editor of .the Citizen, audit is a regular kuee-shaker for the News to contemplate such superiotiry in ‘‘discretion, amiability',” and gen eral journalistic qualifications.
