Garden truck is wonderfully scarce
around Osccola, and here where we
have a soil that will grow anything
that the climate is not inimical to, in a
proiusion not equaled anywhere else,
we are most dependent upon the out
side world for something to eat. a
good vegetable garden would pay bet
ter dian anything else that a man with
small means could 60 into, and there
is not iamils in town that would not
welcome such an Institution as a public
beneiacrion. Who will start one
There isl boarding house
Not far away,
That don't have ham and eggs
Three times a day.
Oh, hcw the hoarders cuss and yell,
When ham ard eggs they plainly smell
In boarding house across the way
Three times day.
The ohickcnpox, which r
some weeks pas; has ragged in this Vi
cin,tv, seems to have nearly run its
course. Though not generally Gan
gcrous disease, it sometimes Furnishes
v.ry severely those who have arrived
to "years of discretion" without hav-
ing had it during sweet infsncy's hours.
Some OF our young lady friends who
are anything bur chickens, have had
quite a siege with it, though We are
glad to see them able to be out on the
streets ag'in.
- A ycang,ter down town ycstcr-
day thought his mamma wasn't look
ing and pitched into some marnalade
in the pantry. Bur his mamma 'laid'
TOR The boy and let him get fairly
started on his way in:o the delicicy.
Then she started for him, anil Il c
prompt style in which that marmllad
the little rascal across her lap and
playci clark from the Tombs' on
his ackct without missing II "ote, wa

Old Pharoah might have ina =
ined that he knew what bugs were,
when Moses got through with him n
that little breach OF promise case,
',nown on the rhancery records at the
ime rs Rena Israel vs.. Pnaroah but
it he could just unmummy himself Tor
, few minutes in OSccola, any eyeninE
.ftcr candle light, he would fad that he
never saw bugs at all bef1rc. An &C
complishe1 bugologist OF our acquaint-
ace says that he has counted round
one "a mp, aboyc seven million differ
ent kinds of crit rs. bcsil:s mos lui-
oes, bed bugs and cockroaches. They
must all exist somewhere during the
lay. hut, at any rate, they are out in
orcc only of an evening, and they
make anything like reading or writing
IN impossibiliry. We are niormcu
ehat they have done considerabl; dam

cinity.
IA g n,leman called at this otiic
iurinr the week who looked very
much like Texas ranger, and wished
TO know ifa Lighting editor coull
obtain employment, as he had heard
this office threatened with a cowhiding
several times lately, on account of sa.
tirical artis,cs which had appeared in
these columns. Suddenly he assumed
A tragical attitude, and recited the fol-
lowing verse
aid like to be edytur,
An in my sanctLm stand
The door a stmdin' open
An II big club in my hand.
Then let 'he cuss who didn Ike
Some article I'd writ,
Step softly DER the threshold,
reckon he'd get hit;
I'd hand him one ritz on the gourd,
Among his brains an things,
An SEM him himiyin' up thar
To sport pair OF wings
