PELLA ITEAs.--The Blade says more
business houses are needed in Pells, or
rather more buildings that will answer
for business houses.
Friday last man csme to Pella with
tour horses Sold three OF them. Dis
app scared with The fourth. Shortly after
an Indian of Pottaws.,amie tribe appeared
Ia search OF his horses and the thief. He
secured two of them that the thief had
sold to Messrs. BIodgett d Graham Of
peils; but the other two Poliaaaltame
| ha. not found even unto this day.
| The Blade says it was reading aloud
a galley Of proof the other day. 1t read
me Scriptural quotation, ."Rander unto
! Cesar the things that are Casar's," DC
a Hoosier wus standing by. Hoosier
wanted to know what that extract Was
from. Said he:
sI've seen it SO often that | know it
must be taken from some periodical or
other, and it seems mighty popular
Where's it from ?" From Paul. was
the reply. Several more questions re
garding tue point at issue were asked by
the inquisitivs Hooser, the concluding
one being, 'is the Paul daily or week
Iy % That Hooser IN ust be some rela-
ton to the man who wrote his name
sjosef Ian" and spelled God with a
iIttle z.
Thus the Blade. Bat it seems to US,
oh Bro. Wilson. that you are slightly at
fault. In cur present recollection OF the
matter and Cruden's Concordance your
text is in Mark ard Luke, but in Paul
never. Still, you may be right. Wa
don't assume to be au authority In these
things since our copy of the Bible wa:
stolen.
/ Pella rejoices in "poic." The sait
"Poic' is feminine. She hailed Bro
Wilson while en- route for his sanctum
early the other morning, aud gave him
"a Node" 10 manuscript; told him tc
sind her dozen papers containing it,
and the damsel vamosed. Here it is:
NODE TO PELLER
There is town In the iawki State
Nhar the steam engine cars do hoEIer;
! this town little. but it's CRATE
| aud the name Of this town is peiisr.
This praree town is the pride OF the west,
30 much so that any yenng feiier.

Is sure TO anser peiler.

That they'll have to get the teller

This goodii town of peiier.
The Blade says that quite number Of
the sneaks who ran away from that county
on account Of the draft have returned
since they have found that the State is
out of the draft. The Blade lashes the
craven scamps in the following merciless
manner
| sueh things have no ssriehts that /.

their neighbors by doubling their
chances in tho lottery of war. It's hard
to tell where to place them. They're no,
