Wo did not liave as many as usual this year, which speaks well for the vigilance of our Board of Health. There are one or two little things to which we will direct the attention of the Board later, but Hot now. The season is growing late. Summer sick ness has by this time all devel oped, and no deaths have oc curred by disease. Job Work. We cannot too emphatically eraphacize a recommendation of our Job work."

Whitaker, Jr. Improvement* on Property. Owing to the fact that our auto mobile has not yet reached us, that we are afraid of a horse, and that our bicycle is sadly in need ot repairs, we have not been able to get around and note the many signs of improvements on property that have been effected of late. We may mention how everr that the splendid mansion of Hon. M. L. Smith is about completed, and Mr. J. B. Mont gomery has completed arrange ment for the erection of a nice buildiug on East,Mill Street. Cultivate Sociability. We have not lately been much of a figure in social gatherings, partly we guess that wo could not if we would, and also because the stern realities of life have borne rather heavily on us for a number of months which made the field of social enjoyments posted grounds. We had such a good time how ever the other night at the house of a neighbor that we think we will hereafter "take the good the gods provpide" throw dull care uside, and enjoy ourselves. That Horse Race, from "Ben Hur" rendered on the piano by Mrs. ? was magnificent, and could only be equalled by the rendering of the old song we mentioned to a young lady by whose side we happened to be sitting at the time.

R Earle, the beloved pastor of the Metho dist church, after a protracted and painful illness. In his death, the religious denomination with which he was connected has lost a valued member; the State and city a much honored cit z ?n; Mas onry, one of its brightest lights, and all with whom lie came in contact, a friend. No more will his pleasant and persuasive voice be heard sink ing the praises of the God he loved and served so well. It now rings triumphant in the Heaven ly choir. No more will his earn est appeals to the giver of all good be heard by lis in supplica tion for Divine forgiveness of the sins of weak and erring mor tals. They are now addressed to The Great Presence itself. No more in its earthly body will his great heart beat responsive to every c?ll for relief, It is stilled forever, but reincarnated, has been sweetly gathered into the loving bosom of his Savior. All peace is his, for in him we saw 110 guile, and those are the choicest spirits who surround the throne of God. Mr. Karle died in the bloom of life, he being only thirty-nine years of age. lie leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his loss. To the grief stricken widow and children we extend deepest sympathy and mourn with tliein, for in A. 15. Eurle wo had a val ued friend. The funeral servicoswere con ducted on yesterday (Wodnes day) evening at 4 o'clock at the Methodist church, and the re mains interred in the Camden cometary with Masonic honor. Tho Ono Day Cold euro.
