air, the white suriac of the snow and ice give

~ We notice that our friend Char
ley of the Prescott Transcript, in a local
itsm in the last number of that paper
headed ''New Ads" speaks of "Brass La
dies Hoops at Young d Goes" Now
we are not acquainted with any of the
fair sex at Prescott, but we sincerely hope
they are not such hard eases, as to de
serve the name of Brass Ladies. If it was
meant as bit of satire; all right; we will
stand treat next time we meet. How

fear you are gowing too contemplative.
In the same number, in an item headed

The age is a moving one. A man
who stands still in these latter days, will
in short time find himself behind his
competitors.
We believe this is true Indeed it is so
true, ii may safely be called an axiom
But Charley don't give yourself too much
to rigid thought even If you do succeed in
discovering truth like the above.
