I Uncle Dave has never accumulated any ] large store of worldly goods, his life 1 has been crowned with honor by the worthy family which he has reared, all
 of his offspring being citizens of ster- ling worth and integrity. We regret

 -THE 3 M. M.-Some of our state ex- changes seem to be puzzled to know the
 nature of the new organization Tn Pope County headquarters at Atkins), known as the Meal Men. There is
 nothing mysterious about 1t at all gen. tlemen. You see up here in Pope coun- ty we are all good flyers. We have from 1 to 6 square meals per day, and lunch between meals. Now some of our young men who are trying to save up enough money ao get married, have taken notion that it is all nonsense to indulge in such high living; and as a measure Of economy they nave formed down to three meals per day, thinking that they can perhaps stand it until they save up a few thousand dollars
 any how. That's all there is about it,
 and any nan who has self denial
 enough about him to put up with 5
 meals per day, may secure initiation in- to the order.
 A new era in the Piano trade has been inauguratcd by the Mendelssohn Piano Co.,, No. 56 Broadway, New
 York, whose advertisement Appears elsewhere. This Company is regular
 ly incorporated under the Laws of the State of New York, and composed of eminent Piano manufacturers, with the express object of selling. Pianos DIRECT to the people at FACTORY PRICES witil- out the intervention of agents and deal- CTS.
 These Pianos made one of the finest displays at the Centennial Exhibition, and were unanimously recommended for the Dip oma of Honor and Medal of Merit, This company are the first to do general business with the purchas- CT direct, saving him more than one- half the price charged by other first class makers. We would recommend of ever buying Piano, to send for their Illustrated and Descriative Cata- logue, whica will be mailed free to all.
 BAD EGGs.-Within the past two weeks the credulity and hospitality of our citizens has agaIn made them vic tins of couple of that class ol gentry who may be termed bad eggs. We are sorry that some of our good citizens have thereby sustained some losses. And while we always have and always shall advise hospitality and urbanity and kindness toward all who may come amongst us. we would also caution our citizens against being too credulous and confiding in these strange corners. We know of no good treason why we should longer refrain from dis closing the names of the two scamps above referred to, so we give their names John II. Penny and W. G. Pel- | lens, ,--and we caution all honest people | against them wherever they may go, and if at any future time it should ap-l pear that we have done them an injus- tice, we will be free to give them or thelr friends chance for their vindica- ton through our paper.
