death at the Robinson House that night.

five years before he goes again. 1t was a 1
hot day, he walked two. miles, tished six or
seven hours, didn't get bite, and returned |
in the heat of the day, hot, dusty, fOot-sore, |
and with a supreme disgust. He proposes |
to take half price for his fishing tackle.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.-The Episco- |
pal Sunday School Picnic, on Saturday last, !
was delightful affair. The children and |
the grown people all enjoyed themselves to |
the encore. The Rev. DR.. Harrison and |
his amiable lady, devoted themselves I'M |
sparingly, to make the occasion one of rare |
enjoyment to all. A better dinner, or one |
more amply appreciated, was seldom ever |
spread ON the greensward in the shadow of |
forest trees, and happier hearts never |
found voice in laughter and merTymakins. |
SMART.-A very interesting and spright- !
ly party Of young men assemble Of even |
| ings on the corner o Lafayette and shan
non streets to exchange scinctillltionS OF
wit, and emit sparks of wisdom. One

field, surrounded by large field, which
was surrounded by a still larger field, with
out crossing the intermediate one, and
| finally had to resort to Cooks Pills to ac-
coDpllsh the feat

illustration OF the fruits of going to law
for the settlement Of disputed rights in
| these times that we have seen is the fol-
lowing; A picture representing cow, with
two angry claimants contending for right of
ownership, one holding the cow by the
horns, the other by the tail, both with de-
liant determination, while LAWYER COM
fortably seated, calmly milks the bovine.
1t strikes US that this picture explains eX-
actly "what's the matter"
UNwHoLEsoNFE VEGErABLEs.-w
warn our citizens against eating uuripe
or stale vegetables. Several violent cases
of cholera morbus have occur, d in this
city, from such imprudence, and one or
two deaths. Great caution should be eX-
ercised in the selection of vegetables for the
table and green fruit should not be eaten
at all. BY such precautien we may escape
much serious and fatal sickness. In this
connection we again urge the authorities to
look into the sanitary condition OF the city,
and take such steps as prudence and wise
foresight may suggest.
