Our Small Change.

Bush your peas.
Wipe your knows off.
Pole yole your beans.
Now put on your overcoat.
Now take off your overcoat.
Very warm, but delightful nights.

Some lumber is coming over the
rapids, and some isn't.
Strawberries, tame and wild are
abundant in the market.
The heavy rains cup country"
have set the river booming"
More logs coming down the
rear of J. Edward & Co.'S drive.
"A wet moon, as the weather pro-
phets say, so look cut for rise in the
river.
Strawberries sold in New york on
Tuesday of last week at two cents per
box.
"A Crosse gives grand opening
ball in his new hall on the 4th of
July, also supper.
If we have Marshal will he do
his duty and pound the hogs running
in our streets Of course he will.
"A soul without prayer il like a
solitary sheep without its shepherd.
The tempter sees it, and lures it away
into his snare

Ladies, the best way to beautify
the hand is to put a quarter in it and
then shake hands with some suffering
fellowcreature.
The idea of a heaven and ar ex-
istance hereafter is no more extraor-
binary than the fact of an earth and
an existence here.
The welfare of nation rests
upon the happiness which it enjoys
within itself, and its independence of
all control from without.
"A Man banned Mcdonnell broke
into house in Rudolph and stole a
shooting iron and some other fixtures,
Judge Woodwork sent him to Wards
cellar.
Hon. FL. D. Barron and wife have
been visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Law at
Remington the past week. Mrs. Law
is aunt to Mrs. Barron.-Grand Rap
ids Reporter.
And Barron; let's see, whose aunt
is Barron?- Waapacca Republican.
We should judge from the way
Bright feels that Barron is Bright
cormor-auHt. Certainly the Judge
isn't ext-aunt yet. Come to think of
it, he cant be anybody's blood aunt,
Bright; cos he's barron. Now Bright,
pull down your vest and pomade those
sunset locks.
Notwithstanding the hard times,
it will be noticed that very many i'm
provements are being made in Grand
Rapids and Centralia, as well as
throughout the county. These i'm
provements verify the fact that our
citizens have confidence in onr ability

heed. Every device which Satan can
ccnjure up will be resorted to to make
money even at the sacrifice of the
virtue of the youth of the land. Be-

visiting cards. which are so freely
advertised by parties in the city, are

books, pictures, etc. The printed
cards are offered by these firms at less
prices than any legitimate firm can
purchase them for, and lately they
find it convenient to omit sending the
cards after they pocket the money for
them. An exchange says:
parents who have allowed their
children to send for the cards should
