At tho day draws nigh when tho anuuol
election for Mayor and Aldermen of thin
P ity oocnrH, it mny not bo amiss for us to
tban udverliso our people of it, and say a
l„«r words on thii highly important mut
ter. Our older citizens look buck with
reyrot upon tho unpleasant and danger
ous scenes which occurred and followed
tbe election in 1872, and doprocato any
h iuiil<*r occurrence. In common with
them we, who are strangers to those un
pleasant times, can but regret that men
found themselves urruyed in hostile atti
tude to thoso with whom social and busi-
ness iutoruourso brought thorn iu daily
contact. Such scenes are common, wo
are sorry to add, iu ell towns built in a
day, so to speak. They lack that homo-
grtuious qua'ity ebarautorizing citios of
slower growth, where tho lapse of yoatH
has pruned and shaped ufT.iits in trim and
tram for tho car of progress. The eurly
settler and habitue of a cros3 road villago
finds himself suddenly awakened and sur
rounded by a restless, nctivo mass of hu
manity, each possibly having an bxo to
grind ou the public stuno, will necessarily
cross swords with tho settled eonvictions
nud wishes of tho old and new people,
and very naturally divisions, hard feeling,
aud not uufroquoully hard blows follow.
Tho result is cliques, nud parties are
formed, and in some cases override, by
superior tact and wire pulling, tbe will of
the majority.
Having now arrived at n point iu the
his'.oiy of Opelika from which wo can
safely louk forward to continued progress
iu populutiou, wealth, uml general confi
dence in our future prosperity, we can
look back oultnly at our early struggles,
