WEST SIDE OF RIVER.

September, Sd.
EDITOR REGISTER: We are so busy
that we hardly have time to tell
you even what we do know, but feeling
it duty as we'll as a privilege, to dc
what we can to support our home paper
we occasionally send you a few items
giving you the privilege of publishing
them, or throwing our communications
into the waste basket.
Farmers are pretty generally through
haying on our side of the river.
And now it is raining with prospect
Of enough rain to prepare the ground
for sowing wheat.
Some person misinformed you in
regard to Mr.. Joseph Body being kicked
by mule on Monday. Mr.. John Body
was kicked by an old mare on Saturday,
but fortunately was not hurt as bad as
was at first supposed.
MIR. George Harris is building fine
residence on his farm. Mr.. Harris is
one of those men that hard times don't
seem 10 affect much.
Since our last, we have had three
new arrivslx Ami. Charles Taylor's,

Wethink our side is hard to beat in in
crease Of population.
We are sorry to say that Mr.. and
Mrs. LIN. B: Anderson buried their
little boy last week.
If you can find out through your
exchanges that the grasshoppers are com.

HAT HUSBAND OF MINE.

The above named book is received
from Lee and Shepard this week. As
the title indicates, the story is told by
the "better half of the matrimonial
establishment meaning, of course, the
feminine half, and, unless all signs fail
the book is really written by woman.
The author says of Charlie, the hero Of
the story, that che is not by any means
remarkable, but he has the fewest faults,
the manifest virtues, and the least tact
of any man I ever saw, knew, or heard
Of" This description holds true of him
in all the different situations in which he
is presented. He makes innumerable
blunders; invites company to dinner at
ill-chosen times and without announce
ment; will not understand his wife's
hints and mods at the table, but noisily
asks an Interpretation of them in short,
plunges his wife into any number Of en-
barraseing situations without the least
consciousness of tho fact but through il
all is the same big-hearted, afectionate,
manly fellow. There are plenty of
amusing incidents, which housekeepes
of limited means will appreciate; and
housekeepers who, besides having limited
means, have laundering husbands to ex-
pose their contrivances, will particularly
sympathize with the heroine. Altogeth-
er the book is bright sunny, sparkling,
and we'll adapted to divert . leisure
hour, while it may also-almost without
the readers consciousness-impress q
lesson of patience and good humor. With
all his faults, = multitude Of women
would like to accept the precise counter
part of ''That Husband Of Mine" Pub
liahed by LEE 4 SHEPARD, Boston.

AIRY socInrY.

| Mr.. EDITOR "A few weeks ago, in [
conversation with Hon. 7. J. Hudson, q
attorney 1t Ffedonia, Kansas, he in
formed me that he had organized In hi,
Sunday School class what he called I
''try society" Being asked to explain
he said that he. and the members Of his
class, composed Of young men, he'd
promised each other that they would W
to abstain from the use Of intoxicating
liquor, tobacco and profane language;
and he believed it was having . good ef.
feet.
Ibid not obtain all the particulars, but
the idea seems . good one, and I desire
to make few suggestions growing out
ofits contemplation; in doing which I
address myself to the prefessed temper.
ance men Of lola and vicinity Is follows:
l take it for granted that you look
upon intemperance as IN evil, that you
desire there shalt be less intemperancs
and more sobriety and that there shall
be less drinking and more teetotalars.
Very good. Now there are q good many
men around you, who, while they do,
occasionally, take drink, are as sincere
in the same desire. They believe, how
ever that to "drink" is not the ''sum Of
all villanies," that to "smile" Is not .
crime 80 heinous a. to merit the death
penalty, either socially, or physically
and they are men who are just a. fair in
their dealings, just Is prompt in the
payment Of their debts, just as kind and
to their neighbors, and just -
full of the golden rule, q are either of
you.
Why not, then, so pursue your "tem-
perance war;" as you call it, as that. these
men may be enlisted in the causef Dol
you not make q mistake in directing
your fight more against the men who are |
its victims than you do against the evil
itself? Wien you threateningly declare !
that you will not trade with one who
drinks. that you will not vote for, asso-
ciate with or extend the hand of fellow
ship to one of that class, each feels, land |
is it not with good cause y that he is the
one struck, while the enemy that you
profess to be fighting is unframed.
After receiving such an intemperate
blow in the face, he is not IN . very good
frame Of mind to be persuaded with your
about temperance, and the
evil o; strong drink.
If you will come down from your
