 We tender our sincere thanks for the beautiful boquet of choice flow CTS sent to this office yesterday | morning. May the fair donor live to enjoy many returns of this sweet season of flowers.
 We had cloudy moist weather most all of last week and a slight | shower or two, but hardly enough in town to do much good. All | around us in the country they | had more rain which was very ben eficial to the growing crops.

Without desiring to say word prejudielal to the claims or prospects of other as pirants to this office, we can state that MT. Peeler is one of our model eitizens--au exemplary man in ev- cry respect so far as we know.
