In the hurry of writing up the five or six parts of the F.iu'eoner-Mason eddintr we om'.ttcd tho names of Horace Jierndon and Letcher Owsley, the gentlemen attendants. How such an oversight occurred is hard to ex plain to anyone knowing nothing of the work to be done in a printing of lice. On Wednesday we prepare our local," help set it, read the proof, correct it and "make un" Wednesday night. This, in connection with look after some ten thousand other things, is calculated to take up a good slice or one man s tunc. He are, in deed, glad that it was Horace and Letcher whom we overlooked, as they have sense enough to know that er rors will ocjur. If they were two thic'i-lieaded idiots, like some people we know, they would have quit tak ing the paper and gone about preach' ng of our short-comings. On the otlv other hand, lluy say it is a good one on them aud enjoy it as quite a joke. Excellent. Arrangehii 'iits have been completed for reciiviujr mail from the niyht trains. It is brought up and thrown into the post olliee door, and Postmas ter West opens it at 7 o clock. This is as early as the majority of business men could wish. The mail which goes out at night is closed at ( p. m.. giv' ng much more time than under the old way. The day trains will contin ue to bring mail, one at 11:150 a. m. and one at 4:30 p. m. J. he express is also put elf now, and words are inad' equate to express the gratefulness o our people to the L. & N., for this ac commouation. Our town is now as well equipped with trains, mail and express as any in the state. And this was all brought about by the hustling of a few citizens. If everybody would hustle, instead of lounging around and raising objections, we could soon have a town second to none in the tate. One or two parties have fought teeth and toe-nail the putting on of this train service, but their little wail failed to cut any ice. The day for three or four men to run Lancaster is passed, and the majority has taken charge of affairs. Itulilcrs. Toll gate raiders got in their worli this county again Friday night. The double gate dn the llichmond road was chopped to pieces and th usual note of warning left. The gate Ireeper started down the road to in form a director of the work and dis covered a bridge on fire. He worked 'or sometime and succeeded in extin juishing the flames. Road ollicial: came in Saturday, made the required affidavit and Judjeliurnside furnished uards. The gates have been replac ed and toll is again being collected, This road and the one leading to Crab Orchard are the only ones in the coun tv now collecting toll. Gate-keeper OUio Terrill, appeared before Judge Burnside, Saturday, and swore out warrant for Wm. Wren, a teamster fcr Koehler Bros., the lumber men. Ter rill says he positively identified Wren as the man who fired at him. He says when he went and told h'.m so, Wren said, "Well, if you know me so well I will put an end to you," and dis charged a Winchester rifle at him however, the ball missed him and em bedded itself in a near-by plank. D;p utv Sheriff Ward arrested Wren at Cartersville, Sunday, and brought hi to jail. Wren told a Record man that he knew nothing of the toll gata raid and that he was at home in hid that night. He will have an examining trial as soon ss he can secure a nam ber of witnesses by whom he cla'm

Having stated, in our last issue, that the life and character of Mr. John L Arnold, deceased, deserves a buller mention than was then given, we note the following: He was born January 20, 1833, being 03 years old at the time of his death.
