We know it to be very largely our
habit to postpone the purchase of our
fall or winter clothing just rs long as
we possibly can, and those of us who
buy often delay until the season is far
advanced before we think Of furnishing
ourselves with clothing suitable to it.
| Some of us do this through thoughtless.
ness others because we suppose that
we q then purchase at lower prices,
and others because we think it q matter
| Of economy to wear our summer clothes
as long as possible. We are fully per.
suaded that this is q mistake, and tina,
it is really our interest to make our pur.
chases right away at the cheap and els-
gan, Fashion Emporium Of tho Banner
Brothers, opposite the Enterprise build
ing, Virginia City.
A "BILLY."-The "billy" found in
the pocket of Al. Waterman, after he
was killed evening before last, was one
of the ueatest and most effective looking
weapons Of its kind We ever saw. 1t
consisted Of two leaden balls, each
about the size of a walnut, covered or
" bitched I" with Irvine, and connected
BY n stiff, round piece of rawhide about
the size Of ones little finger. The
whole was neatly finished and vanished
and formed q weapon whose effectiveness
can only be realized by the u%ninitiated
by having it used on them. A terrible
blow can be struck with il. 1t is moro
certain and deadly than a sl%ungshot,
for it is more easily guided and operated
and cannot readily be Tended off. A sim
gle square blow on the top Of the head
with either end Of the thing is n deadly
skull crusher.
THANKSGIVING BALL.-NeXt Thursday
evening-Thauksgiving might've balls
are to be enjoyed, namely the grand
Harrub Lottery Ball, at Odeon Hall,
Dayton, aud the ball Of Kuickerbocker
Engine Company No. 5, at Athletic
| Hall, Virginia. Each n Of those fes-
tive and sociable arrangements is sure
to be we'll attended on that occasion,
especially that at Dayton, where in ad-
dition to enjoying II splendid ball, the
holder Of a ticket stands q chance to win
II very valuable prize in the lottery,
perhaps HHrrub's fine cottage residence,
worth So, 900. Who knows?
SIDEWALK OBsrRUcrED.-The bricks
and debris Of the fallen front wall Of the
St. Louis Brewery still cucumber the
sidewalk to the great annoyance of all
passers by. Bricks and mortar extend
half way across the street. This nui-
sance should not be allowed any longer
without abatement. \ days work for
one man would clear up the whole oil
this trash and throw it into the lot
where it belongs, and another days
work would repair the sidewalk as 1t
should be. Where is the Virginia
| Street Commissioner?

who has been teaching P~cnmanship in
Gold Hill, for some time, will COM
mence a new course Of lessons on next
Monday evening, in the Hall over the
San Francisco Restaurant, and with the

to SOM of the young ladies and gentle.
men in Gold Hill. Learn to write, by all
means. 1t is one Of the great highways
to wealth, fortune, and rcspsctaoili'y.
WHITE PINE BLocKApE.-No passen-
gers are now booked At Wells, Fargo 4
Co.'s, Virginia, for White Pine, owing
to the present inadequacy OF stage route
transportation facilities between Argent
and the new Silyerado. The surplus
accumulation of passengers seems to be
greatest at Austin. Through passeu-
gers from San Francisco are given the
preference over those from this section.
| The only way for White Pine emigrants
| from here to get there is to go by way
| of San Francisco or New York.
A RUxoR.-A report was current on
the streets of Virginia and Gold Hill
las, eveniag, that Jack Harris had been
killed, out at Austin, within II shorI
time of the difficulty which caused the
| death of AL. Waterman, in Virginia
CITY, on Thursday afternoon. Harris
and Waterman had been connected III
the robbiug of Wells, Fargo Il Co.'s
Express, below Silver City, some year,
.go-and their almost simultaneous
deaths are considered a singular coincl-
Ssnce The rumor, however, need:
confirmation.
