It maybe said that President Arthur's message Is the first document •f the sort In forty yeara that has not teferred to the South as a distinctive Mctlon of tbe country. This Is a bright fearblnger of peace. No north, no tooth, no east, no west; one country from Ocean to Ocean, from the takes to .the Gulf, rAmong the new Postmasters re- 4tnt1y appointed in this District, we notice the names of Dr. J. Q. Adams. Marengo, Pfrangle, of Aurora, and ZieBaroa, of Elgin. In the appoint- tient of Dr. Adams, of Marengo, ywe nre particularly gratified, for the Mason thai his opponents have spared no t>*ins to abuse both him and his friends during the entire canvass. Mr. Adams Is a staunch and reliable Re­ publican, an old soldier, and that he has been rewarded for his past services we think Is proper and right, and that he will make - a postmaster that Marengo and his many friends else­ where will feel proud of, no one who knows him will for a moment doubt.

Another new Monument has Jmtheen placed In our Cemetery. In memory of the late Mr. McLaughlin. It is of grey Granite and Is apparently a fine speci­ men. We would call the attention of the traveling public to neighbor Dailey's new bay window. It has only to be seen to be appreciated. He says it is Intended only for "Nlglit Blooming See Us.** The committee met on Tuesday evening and completed their final ar­ rangements for the Christmas Tree.-- Bring on your presents, plainly and se­ curely marked that there may be no mistakes made In the distribution. The motive impelling the act of a certain young man. whose years are far In advance of his discretionary powers, attempted to play the role of -smarty." one evening last week, by throwing the blinds belonging to the Baptist Church, which had been newly painted and pliced under the shed to dry, out tn a promiscuous pile, hand ling them in no careful manner, mere­ ly for the sake of giving yent to his malicious spi;e. Such conduct coming from a young man who with ballot In hand for two or three years past has walked boldly up to the polls and de­ posited his vote, calling himself a man Is certainly deserving of a leather medal, or a life size chromo of Gulteau Clerical Dignity, of which mention was made some two weeks since. Is constantly meeting with some hair breadth escape. This time he made the attempt, in -groping his way through the darkness to his room, to pass in by going on both sides of the door at otice, which was standing part way open. Soap Street is recelvine some new adornments. C. Marble has been treat ing his house to some new blinds, all painted green, which were under the same shed but escaped the tumble.-- Tho Dassow boys have been putting in a nice double row plank sidewalk in front of their lot, A new fenoe In the rear of tbe Baptist Church. D. W. Soper has just opened up a full line of Christmas Goods, presents for his customers.

Thsre Is to be a Christmas tree at the Baptist church Saturday evening. An Interesting time is expected. Elder Brooks preached In the Bap­ tist Church Sunday forenoon. It Is probable that he will continue to o<> cupy the pulpit each alternate Sunday through the winter. A very interesting and every way successful school exhibition was held at Maiman'b Hall Saturday evening.-- Anyone who appreciates the. difficulty of preparing and successfully carrying through such a varied entertainment, including as it did so many little chil­ dren, will be disposed to congratulate Mr. Stevens and Miss Poole on the re­ sult of their eflorts. Much credit Is also due to Mr. C. K. Waite for his kindness and efficiency in training those who were to take musical parts.
