NEWS FROM OTHER TOWNS.

Arispe has a new elevator.

The citizens of Decatur City have called a meeting to take steps toward having the county seat of Decatur county located there.

Wallace Bruce, a talented young newspaper man, formerly owner of the Chariton Herald, is to have control of the Leon Journal.

Fred J. Honnold, of Leon, was committed to the inebriate ward at Mt. Pleasant, Christmas day. He was formerly engaged in running a drug store.

Alexander Lewis, an itinerate piano tuner, died at Kellerton last week from exposure. He had become addicted to the habitual use of stimulants. He was a well educated man and but for this one uncontrollable habit, he certainly would have attained marked success in life.

The Lorimor Journal says the Knowlton News needs an editor. It is more probable the editor needs a town big enough to support a paper. There are too many papers trying to exist when there is no legitimate demand for them. The public would be better served with fewer papers and better ones.

Ringgold Record The year just ending has been a busy one for Clerk C. G. Stranahan as far as issuing marriage licenses is concern. Mr. Stranahan has issued more licenses to wed this year than in any previous year during the terms that he has been clerk of the court. With the week ending yesterday he had issued 140 marriage licenses. Last year the number of licenses issued with 128 and last year was considered a record breaker.

Garden Grove Express At the pleasant home of A. E. Northup, east of High Point, on Christmas day, occurred one of the most enjoyable events of the season. About twenty-five friends and neighbors gathered in with well filled baskets and at high noon two large tables in the dining room two large tables were loaded with such as the High Point ladies know how to prepare. After dinner the time was spent in social conversation. Some very fine music was rendered on the piano by Miss Edith Trott and others. The sun had sunk low in the west long before this merry crowd took their leave. But as they departed for their respective homes they thought it a Christmas well enjoyed and wished a Happy New Year.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Ringgold Record is thirty-eight years old. The Tedfords have had control of it a long time and have made it great paper. Editorially it is one of the very best papers in the state.
