A TATTMXTS.
Ev«rv one who lias mid I rving's Sketch I.iook will remember the story of Kip Van "Winkle, wlio. bein.u- out on a huntiu»- excursion, fell into a profound slumber which lasted great many years. "When lie went to sleep, the Colonies were loyal to the British Kin**-, but when he awoke the ar of Independence had been fought and won. and '•change'" was "written upon everything around him, .-o that Hip was a stranger lie re but, to him, the evening before, he had hosts of boon companions, llis bewilderment is truly laughable.
Alamo has just awakened from a Kip Van Winkle sleep. Twenty years ago it was a pleasant, enterprissing village, but it went to sleep. And while Waveland and Ladoga grew while Crawlordsville reared tine rows of brick blocks, and massive stone fronts while Chicago leaped from the swaddling bands of a small town to that of a full grown, metropolitan city while on the dreary sands of the Pacific, Sanfrancisco rose magic like to be one ot the leading cities of the world. Alamo slumbered on. .But it is now fully aroused. The Academy is in full blast. All hail the Alamo Academy.' People are whitewashing. painting and building. The corners are free from loafers, and several new houses are going up. John \\. Copner savs the town is to be incorporated, the streets graded, the side walks graveled «£e. Keep the ball rolling John.
There was a talk, a few days ago. of having a whisky saloon ac Alamo. Unless the Tattler greatly mistakes the temper of the people, i: will not be healthy for any one to start an institution of that kind in our village. If the law will not protect u-. we propose to protect ourselves. Let a- not be misunderstood in this r.iaiier. Whoever
