These are dog days, Doggish peo-
pie had better look out.
OF course we take wheat for sub
scription to the Home Journal
Butter sells in our market for l6cts
per pound. Eggs 81 per dozen.
New -four coming IN pretty 5riskly
Price Bets per pound.
Nice, young butter always finds a
ready sale in our market,
The day $ are now becoming slowly
but surely and steadily shorter.
If anybody owes us anything they
know it, and we hope they will pay it,
Our merchants are making arrange
men,s to "lay i'm their fall stock OF
goods.
AS pastures are all good, stock Of
every kind will be in good condition
tor winter.
Don't send abroad for your print
ing. W. don't send abroad for our
dry goods, &c.
Don't leave your gates open and let
hogs in your yard, and then beat up
the hogs.
Won't somebody come forward and
tell us big snake story-just to liven
up things bit2
Matrimonial market dull. Guess it
will brighten up little when the
weather gets cooler.
"Give US this day our daily bread" I;
or, give us what you owe US, and we'll
buy the bread.
The ELIZA Jane" still holds place
in our memory. Well talk about her
some more hereafter.
Plenty of fruit in town these days,
and the demand fo- paregorlc has con-
siderably increased.
We'd rs soon have our hand screwed
up in a wise as to shake hands with
some men we know of.
This is considered the sckly season,
and two many precautions cannot be
taken to preserve health.
Local occurrences scarce. Some
how things have decided aversion to
happening in our town these times.
The delightfully."- cool nights we are
now having are pleasant for sleeping,
and are fully appreciated by all.
No news from The Jackson County
Giant lately. Clarence Horne keeps
posted as to his Whereabouts, we be-
lieve.
Delinquents, hand in your bills
two dollar bills, we mean.
A little money, now and then,
Is needed by the printer men,
Trade has frightened up a little
since the farmers have "laid by" their
crops. They have more time to look
around.
Those of our citizens who are fortu-
nate enough to own baggies and horses
ride out nearly every day in the cool
Of the evening.
If newspaper is a reflector of the
business enterprise Of town, what
must be the status of Winchester as
shown in the Home Journal?

drovitch, heir apparent to the throne
OF Russia, is the very image of our Cir

1t is bad practice for young ladies
to keep late hours with young men.
We have no particular case in view.
but should such thing occur people
will talk.
An exchange tells story Of beau-
tifui young lady, who was blind, hav
ing recovered her eyesight after mar,
rlage. Well, matrimony will open peo-
pies eyes.
Gold bonnets are the latest. They
are made of straw, which is then Steep
ed in q bath of gold. Well bet our
Winchester girls won't go very far on
gold boEnets.
Stop abusing the people you live
with. Do not fall out with people be-
cause their ideas do not coincide with
yours. Ifyou don't like the town and
its people, why-leave.
Very few violations of the town Or
dinances lately, in consequence OF
which "Old-rll.put-the- iine-as low as
possible boys" is as cross as a setting
hen. No violations, no money, you
know.
Apropos Of lazy people, an old citi
zen told US, the other day, that there
was q man in our town who was so
afraid of work that he frequently went
off and hid himself, and then went to
sleep to keep from thinking of it.
Madame Rumor is plying her voca-

body and everything, and is lightning
at talking. Fight shy OF her if you
wish to preserve your good name.
