The picnic given by the Union School of South Deepwater last Sat- urday, is pronounced, by all who at- tended to be a grand success. Tke programme was as follows: Singing by the choir, prayer by Mr. Ewing; music; welcome address by the Supt. Mr. James Rayburn; mu- sic: address by Tilden H. Smith; dinner; after dinner there were speeches made by Mr. Ewing, Mr. George Rayburn and others inter- spersed with good music.

Thornton, a druggist of the Hill, gave editor McGill of the Enterprise a black eye in the post office. It we remember right, it has not been very long ago since Judge Neptune put ahead on Tommy about the same location, and although it was a local happening of the town the /te- view did not saya word about it.

M. Lee, lett Butler Saturday morning in carriages tor Clinton. The object ot their visit to Clinton, and their overland route in carriages we know nothing, and can only surmise that it means something which time alone will tell. It 1s well known by our people that Mr. Scullen has the full manage- ment of the building of the new railroad now being graded through our county. S. W. Lee, is his old engineer, and is said to be one of the best in the count Some ot the boys working on the sew railroal south of town Spent Saturday in the city filling up and continued soto do until about 412 o’cleck Saturday night when the row began, and stones flew in every di- rection. One of them whose name we tailed to get. was struck m the face ané had his fiz badly hurt. He was sewed up the next day by Dr. Christy and we suppose 1s now re- penting of his folly.

J.A. Landers, the | blank certificates for report of deaths | engineer of the carivan stated to the | | reporter that they lett Dent County, | this state, the 7th of May last andhad | |traveled constantly eyer since. | Their read had been a Jong and _ te- dious one, and they had saw the | | elephant and were thoroughly satis- | | fied and disgusted. The intention | ot the out fit which consisted of four jfamilies when they started was |togo to Oregan and settle. He | said they traveled as tar as Medicine Bow, a small place 65 miles from He remarked that during their short sojourn at this villiage that there was no less than 250 teams come driving in all leaving Oregan, They all told the same story in re- gard to Oregan saying it was over run withemigrants and that « poor man did well if he made a seant liv- ing, as tor making money that was out ofthe question. He also stated that | he had heard a great deal of Washing- fen Territory butso far as he was concerned he would not give what little he had seen of Bates county for the whole Territory, it isa barren wilderness and produces nothing so tar as his observation went they saw neither church nor school house after they crossed the North Platte river, | and to all appearance the country grew nothing but knives pistols and rifles. Mr. Landers says all can go to Oreganand Washington Teritory, | that want to, butas for him and_ his household he is satifieds. A Grand Wedding. Sunday last, quite a large number | of the friends of the contracting par- ties assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Scott, parents of the bride about five miles east of this city. to | witness the marriage ot jas. W. Carver to Miss Eva McDaniel. The golden cord was tied by Rev. L. P. Siceloff, of the M. E. church south, in a very appropriate and impressive manner, and it is hoped, that the two, thus made one, will never have cause to regret the solumn vows they have taken upon themselves. The bride is one of Bates counties most handsome and accomplished young ladies, and upon this occasion, it is said. she looked even more lovely than ever, while the partner she has | chosen for life is one of Bates coun- } ties nobfest young men. Now that | they have joined hearts and tortunes and launched out upon the sea of life to share adversities as well as late. “IpR. J. D.
