ST. ELMO.
Mr. Editor: —I want to give
you a few dots from St. Elmo. In
the first place I want you to change
the News to No 9 Carter St. so as
we can got it delivered next morn
ing. Jlist think ( of it we went to
the office last night and got three
papers, and we had to road them
all before going to bed, and then it
was we found out how far we were
behind with the nsws. Our small
City at the foot Lookout mountain
is in a flourishing condition, and
let me tell you we are just where
we can watch the Trentain boys
come in and out, but more espec
ally out, It may be news to your
readers to know that W. P. P. has
decided to quit driving cOws and
intends coming to our city to drive
a street car. Well such a life, but
he looks well driving anything, even
it is on the ball room floor. Well
I am glad you have decided to try
and get better roads in Dade,
before I get ready to move back
(and every one moves back) you
will have good roads from county
line to county line. Then if some
of your old citizens take a more lib
eral view of things and not sell lots
quite at Chattanooga prices you
will build up and Trenton the Cap
itol of the State of Dade will hold
ujf her head and not be considered
a finished town. Yours,

WILDWOOD, CA.
Wildwood is booming.
Tne A. G. S. R. R company has
almost completed the depot, which
by the way is a splendid building,
the grading of the -switch is almost
completed
On yesterday thefurneral of Mrs
Col. R. M, Paris was preached by
Brothsr Houte, quite a nice con
gregation attended.
By the way I am one that believes
in equal rights to the rich and
poor. Now' what eonld be more
eqnal fer all men of road age than
for them to work five days on the
road and then tax the property of
the county to suppliment the road
working. This would be a srpa 1
tax; let all men who are taxed
work jt out if they choose. Who
are benefited by good roads? It
certainly is the land holders, If 1
had a road to my house as good as
the road is from’ Chattanooga to
the State line I could sell it for
one thousand dollars more than I
can now. So Bennie lay low, and
say no more. Because you know
you have always been wrong on the
road question. More if necessary.
J. E. PATTERSON,"
Well we never liked an argument
with the court, aud especially when
the court on our side, and we are
to-gether on the road law proposed
by Reprosentatve Tatum, which
we (iid not understand till this
week, We too “believe in equal
rights to rich end poor” and for
every man to work five days on the
public roads, and a tax for the pur
pose of doing whatever other work
may be necessary to keep up the
roads, well we think, equalize the
rights between the rich and the
poor, By reference to the past is
sues of the News our position on
the road question will be seen, and
in them we have committed our
selves to certain views which we
feel fully able totmaintain, But
no, wo can’t argue with -you on
on this question we are together,
.Thanks Esquire, for your commu
nication, Come again.

Editor News :
Last week I gave you a letter
somewhat of a political character,
but iu this issue I beg to call the
attention of your readers to some
thing of greater importance, and
which should interest one more
than the success of the •political
party of his choice : We will then
turn, our attention from bad gov
ernment that is like to come of a
Republican administration* at
Washington to our bad boys at
home. Trenton is noted for bad
bovs but some are worse than oth
ers and would dnothings less in con
formity to the position they shoud
occupy in society than others who
are called bad boys. I was in your
town one day this week and heard
a young man remark “that steer has
sense enough to eat salt” to which
a three foot urchin who stood
leaning against a post replied ‘thats
more than you have got.” Now
Mr. Editor if some one one would
inform on that youngster, his dear
mother would likely say, “no my
darling never said any such thing
becausa he said he did not.” Well,
the young man has fooled his ma
because she will not believe any
thing bad of her boy just because
some good neighbor tells her, her
boy is as mean as the devil. If
that boy had been one of the nine
I have about raised I should have
felt very much like putting him
on bread and water for. a week—
which is a little less than he would
get any way. For a seven year old
hov to walk up to an old grey head
ed citizen and say “hello Jerome,”
shows something bad,in home gov
ernment and means that boy m go
iug hell-wards as fast as his par
ents will let out his line. Little
things betray the stuff of which
boj r s are made, for of course, any
one can spot a bad boy when he
has no redeeming qualities what
ever, but its the bad traiis that out
grows the goad ones and makes
your boy a scamp. Its a great
point in any boys favor to see him
lift his hat and speak politly to his
elders thou’ they may be clothed in
tatters. How many real polite
boys are there in Trenton.
