THANKS.


We sincerely thank the many warm
friends who have done Gil that human
aid could to assist rs in our sad be-
reavement, and to sssusge the deep
grief that has fallen upon our quiet
household In the painful and sudden
loss of its youngest member, whose
tender years and happy loving heart
made him the sunshine OF the home
circle-ths especial object of our ten
derest affection.
An efficacious balm to bind up the
bruised heart In such cases man can.
not give, but the unostentatious warm
sympathy Of an entire community, we
feel does tighten the burden.

A Stranger Taken In Ut the

It appears that tho fools are not all

As fast ~ one man gets "taken in" by
one Of tho sharks who make living
by practicing upon the credulity Of
their fellow men, two other fools take
his place and follow in his footsteps
as fast ~ possible. There 10 but little
doubt but this place, ON account Of the
large influx Of strangers, is punished
worse than any other town In the
State, and three card monte men, con-
fidencc operators, &C., flock here from
every quarter.
To-day ct the depo: there was the
usual sucker, and the old and worn
out dodge of . deadlock was put
up for his investigation. He con-
clnded that such lock vas no
safeguard whatever-that It was an
easy matter to open 1t. He took
1t In his hand looked 1t oil over,
tried it and found he could easily turn
the bolt. A stranger who was stand
ing by tried the lock and found II
would not open. The sucker asked to
have It returned to him and hs would
show the other stranger how It was
done. Of course II was returned and
the balance Of the story soon follow
ed "a bet was ct once made up TO the
amount Of the suckers pile, the money
staked, and the trial made when the
Aforesaid sucker found the lock would
not open. That smart Aleck mourns
for his fifteen dollars y he foots It
home and the marshals are anxiously
looking for the thieves.
