Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-05-06
NOTES AND QUERIES.

We cannot call to mind any instance of
perfectly candid, frank and ingenious ex
preston of relief and gratitude like unto tina
which, in Mr.. Barnes's advertisement, tn.
more substantial citizens of Washoe county
acknowledge their thankfulness to the dis
coverer of the great and infallible Bed Bus
Annihilator and Vermin Bane. One almost
detects upon the air the incense of gratitude
which arises from the Truckee Valley over g
deliverance "Like that which made the heart
of Eden glad, before the useful trouble of the
rain" When citizen of Reno makes q sue
cessful shot at bed-bug and kills him, dead,
there is as great and general a rejoicing there
as came up out of the hearts of the Egyptians
of old when relief came, at last, from the
plague of toads. And now, when the arch
enemy of the Reno ledger has been discom-
fitted and decimated, as it were, mark the
earnestness of tone and unreserved emphasis
with which the leading men of that city pro-
claim their sense of thankfulness Mark the
copiousness of the language employed. Nj
merous merchants, four hotel keepers, a
Deputy Sheriff and the County Jailer come
as the ancient Patriarchs used to come to the
gate of a beleagured city, heralding the glad
tidings Guam pulchri S1tpe, mo,ttes, etc.
eve look upon it, say they, ':as a Godsend
to our county," and then if repelling some
dastard's base insinuation, they shout, owe
DO NOT WANT OUR MONEY BACK" 1t is mere
misplaced modesty upon the part of the CON
ductors of the Reno press not to have given
more pronounced expression to this sense of
public gratitude, long since. The advent of
cherries into our market suggests to the un-
charitable mind the dangers of too precip-
itous and unrestrained participation i'll the
luxuries of the early Spring. The season no
doubt needs airing, and the stomach ache at
dollar venture is not at all calculated to Ell
courage the prudent parent who sympathlses
with the stock market and who is conscious of
an unad justed balance at the apothecary to
purchase any considerable number of pounds
of that vain and deceptive fruit. "'Once,"
says La Fontalne, there was fox but we
resist the temptation to infict this bit of
wisdom upon the scholarly readers
of the MORNING APPEAL. Go to the Ant,
thou sluggard Is it necessary for us to re-
mind our constant and confding patrons that
the way to success is to succeed! As surely
as that the tender tints of earl y dawn will, in
the breaking light of morning, inger and
play about the summit of yon grim and grey
Sierra, just 50 surely will many an one of our
vast audience be left to the bitter disappoint-
nents and cold discomforts of back seat at
The approaching presentation of "a Tour

Using! The upsurging of the toiling masses

threatens the new deluge! Join them,
DIN the eager throng, pay hasty visit
o Marvel Parker and procure the necessary
credentials to the favored spots in yon
auditorium. A word to the wise is sufficient.
AS we have elsewhere mentioned, in a
ormal editorial way, the Municipal election
axes place tomorrow. The places of polling
re already designated in the official warning
iven by the City Fathers through Mr. Helm,
heir always faithful clerk. Let us not fail
o do our duty, vote with order, regularity
nd animation, and thank God it is no worse.
. Speaking of Mr.. Helm, we are reminded
hat the proprietOrs of the Carson Water
Works are solicitous to about the wastage of
heir water. The propensity of the amateur,
ca, professional gardener, to injudicous
nd excessive irrigation, they, these pro-
rietors insist must be abated. They would
they could, prevent threatened water
anime. Let us not be wasteful, but rather,
It us, as Mr.. Webster suggested to Mr..
Iayne, husband our resources. The old
ryer key house of some ten eleven years
anding, is no more. The place which once
new it will now know Sam Hodgkinson
