Much excitement va caused in town last

Much excitement was caused In town last
Thursday, by the arrival Of ''plug hat
the first seen in the place. since its settle@
ment. Il soon became inoised abroad that
the ''plug" was here, and that F. G. Hunt,
Register of Deeds. was its proud possessor.
Curiosity was on tip toe TO get sight at
the strange object. and the crowd. obeying
a sort of natural instinct, made rush for
HalIberg's, where the receptacle for bricks
was found 10 be undergoing process nee
essary 10 fit it for use. AT this point the
excitement became so intense that Felix
was compelled TO mount a beer barrel and
make speech to the assembled multitude
-apologizing for making this innovation
upon the time-honored customs of the village
and entreating the crowd to disperse, after
which he hired small boy to FIRE bunch
of FIRE crackers in honor of the new hat. aud
tie people retired peaceably to their homes.
Thus ended one of the most exciting
scenes ever known in the history of Empo-
ria. No cause is known for this unwarran-
ted act OF Mr. H, unless i: is that he has
found the position of Register very iucrA-
tive one. At any rate, such is the general
belief. and accordingly two new candidates
