Thoso who may desire to beautify the gravos of their dead will plca-o note that Saturday afternoons have been appointed by the Union Cemetery Association as tho time to have plants and shrubbery at the cemetery, nt which time the services of the regular attendant will be at their dis posal. Our Pine valley correspondent says that The Scoi'T of the lOdi in.-t, failed to reach that place. The Scorrs for Pine vallov and every other point were sent Thursday even ing and if they did not get to their destina tion it is ihe fault of the rotten mail ser viuo. The very best we can hope for is two years more of it. Mr. Al. Goodbrod had photographs of his breast and arms taken this week to send to the pension commissioner for the pur pose of establishing his claims for a rera ting of pension. If anyone thinks that Al. has not been where mlnnie bullets were making music and saber strokes were falling thick and fast, he has only to look at the sears on his body and be convinced. One bullet went entirely through Al'sbody and ho Is e'tainly deserving of a pension. Edward Itinehnrt, the 17-year-old son of Mr. Jap Kiuchart who resides on the sand ridge near the Grande Hondo river, was drowned last Saturday afternoon while trying to croa-i tho stream. The body was not recovered till the next day although a diligent search was prosecuted. The re mains wore interred In the Summcrville cemetery Monday. Edward was a general favorite with all who knew him and his untimely death is greatly regretted. Work on the Hunt road is progressing rapidly Considerable heavy work has been done near the Grande Hondo river, in the way of cuts and tills. Camp will be moved to-day to a point, about a mile be yond tho liver. The next move will be to the suite ditch on the sandridge, which will bo in about a week. Eighty men and forty livo teams are now at work. About ten or tiftcon more men are wanted and can get work there upon application. 'A long haired fakir held forth on tho streets several evehings last week, selling patent medicines, and "extracting teeth without pain.'' He succeeded in raking in considerable coin. He exhibited a flour sack about half full of molars which he said he had yanked out of tho people of La Grando. They wore tho rustiest looking lot of grinders over seen and excited much curiosity Ho also exhibited a tnpo-worni that looked like it might be about one hun dred and fifty feet long, which he said had bpor. taken from a La Grander tho dav be fore. ThUennped the climax and was a satisfactory explanation of the extraordina ry hunger of tho average La Grander, and the reason for their hunkering after the wholo earth. School Fund Apportionment.
