The sudden embargo placed

ne a large lot of umbering sup
plies belonging to Isaac Staples,
and also disappointed some of our
merchants They will now have to
wait until the teaming is safe on the
ice.
Some of the half grown boys.
and for that matter some who style
themselves young gentlemen, may
think It manly and gentlemanly 10
act as they do at the post office
while waiting for the mail, but no
one else does. It is all well enough
TO have your fun, boys, but is the
post Office the place to carry it quite
so far.
At the special school district

county, az corrected by the town
cleck, amounts to $392,041 OF
this school district No One has
1878, 1853, and district No. Two has
Sl13.57S. In the former, with q
school tax Of $500, the per cantage
is less than 8 cents on the hundred
dollars while in the latter, with a
levy of 81 900, the rate is over IS
cents on the hundred dollars.
This is the way Sammy takes
off his hat 10 the boys: The en-
dorsement which we received from
the people Of the Lake counties at
the polls last Tuesday "a shown by
the vote given us for State Senator,
is certainly very fatfering one.
and one which we most heartily APP
preciate. We thank AL orr friends
most cordially. Democrats and Re
publican alike, for their support,
and hope by hard work for their
interests 10 amply repay them.
The county board met on Sat
urday last and voted a miscellaneous
tax of $4,000, road tax of s. 500,
a Judgment tax Of $3.50 and school
tax and for salary Of superintendent
of schools of about $250-in al
about s 100 This, with a town
tax Of $4,000, voted by the people
last spring, state tax of $1,000,
and school tax OF $500, making
. total Of 1885, CT II per cent,
rather disconnected the board and
they adjourned to Monday without
definite action, and again to Mon
day next TO devise some means to
lessen the levy.
One by one the roses fall. What
# j. Proctor Knott did quote it to
h democratic friend, in Congress
when he thought they were about
to desert him, 1t is even here a dis
m ! fact. This time it s Mrs. Ash
ton and her interesting family who
say good bye to Superior. They

children will board with Mrs. Shiei>
and 90 to school; while Mrs. Ash
ton will engage in her profession Of
nurse, by which she has so nobIy
supported her family during the
past few wears, and for which, she Is

be more missed, and he GOOD wish
es of every one accompany them.
At the annual town meeting
last spring " on motion $4,000 wa,
voted for common road fund" No
action was taker by the oyerseer o.
highways towards, nor by lie board

levy-invalidates it, as THE is the
