An Alabama couple procured li cense and were married in town last Sunday, and the next day another followed suit.

Recently the town Commission ers addressed a communication to Supt, Griggs requesting the stopp ing of the cannon ball at this place to which he replied that he hoped to accommodate the small stations along the lino at an early day, but that it wws impossible to stop the cannon ball at those places at pres ent, Altogether the letter was a manly and courteous one, and,suc cended in cooling the ire of the Commissioners who were getting wrathy on the subject.

News has just reached that Mr. Mike Allison was seriously hurt at South Pittsburg Tue sday, by fall ing and breaking his leg and sus taining other injuries.. We hope it is not so bad as reported, and that Mike will soon be back among his many friends. We received yesterday three of the largest turnips of the season, which was sent in by Mr S. B. Aus tin.

Compare the Nkws with our neighbor, the Messenger and you will see that the news for the Mess enger is contributed largely by cor respondents, while we must get up our own news, and receive but lit tie help, More editorial matter appears in our paper ini one week than does in the Messenger for one month. COMUNICA 1 ED 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, JERMAHCLAP TRAP 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. simonsTetter. 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. MIGHT IIA VS! BEtf SE"- KIO US- One day last week Messrs. Thos. Cummings and W. C. Morrison went to Chattanooga and took lodgings for the night at the Kene dy house, and upon going to bed blew out the gass and retired for pleasant dreams which did not come for Mr. Cummings , soon awoke, and waking Bud told him there was something in the room that did not smell like otter of roses. Bud said yes someone is trying to chlorform and rob us. Tom soon hadoir his round barrel navy which he always carres about him, and instituted search tor the imaginary robbers which were not found. Tom said .it was not chio .U)form but that the infernal room cleaning up, and he would just step and tell the clerk at ouce, which he did bringing back the clerk with him who at once took in the situ ation and after explaining to them left the room muttering something like “young men from the country’ If any body wants W> fight about this we just refer them to our old friends across the creek. ■•WAY TIUDI.m One day last week a man named Johnson hired a horse in Chat tanooga and rode out to A.
