idle hours, undertook the sport of playing
''mumble peg with a bayonet. Finding
the ground a little too hard for the business
they turned upon one of G. A. Hampton's
COWS. This was probably pleasant sport for
the boys, but must have been disagreeable
to the COW to carry the weapon sticking in
her flesh nearly a whole day. Better seek
some lighter amusement; go coasting. or
something of that sort; it will be healthier.
The new advertisement of the Southern
Hotel. to he found in our local columns, is
An indication of enterprise. The popularity
OF this house is rapidly increasing, and,
though only reopened u short time ago, has
already won a large share of both local and
transient patronage. Mrs. Nolan well un-
derstands the hotel business. Her house is
kept neat and tidy and her tables are well
furnished. Our friends who, in their per-
ordinations through the country, visit Dia-
mond, will do well to remember that the
Southern is the weary and hungry travellers
happy resort.
ELSEWHERE will be found the card of
Cave gulch's enterprising blacksmith. Mr..
Day has had the misfortune to have his shop
and tools destroyed by fire a few weeks ago.
This is a second or third time he has met
with severe loss from this source, but his ln-
domitable pluck and energy has %recuperat-
ed his shattered fortune, and we feel as
sured that the same spirit will carry him up
again. Those who are in arrears should
make an effort to pay up, and in a short
time Daytown will once more be made
bright with the flaming forge, and the hills
and mountains echo again with the ring
of the anvil of the village smith"

marked a young man in our hearing q few
days since. $50 to Canyon Ferry, if Rot
witt gives us a chance" replied one. "Take
a four-horse team" said a third, land load
it down with boys and girls. and We'll have
a way up time" And so it was decided.
We are pleased to announce that these
young gentlemen are not to be disappoint-
ed, as we. are reliably informed that Mr..
Rotwitt intends giving a grand ball Christ
mas Eve, December a.. Go secure your
partners, engage your turn-outs, and be
ready. Its coming off, sure. The parties
given at the Canyon Ferry are noted far and
near as being very enjoyable. and a simple
announcement is sufficient to secure a large
attendance from Helena, Diamond, the Mis-
souri, valley, and from the adjacent mining
camps.
IT would be useless to attempt to enumer-
ate the many improvements that have been
made in sewing machines, but among the
almost countless makers and styles none
have stood the test of public trial and criti-
cism better than the Victor Sewing Machine,
now in use in every cline, at home and
abroad. Being the original pioneer from
the very start, under the name OF the Finkle
! and LYON, the manufacturers have kept pace

made such alterations and adjustments as
time and the ~severest trials have shown &c
he for the best, until it now stands the acme
Of excellence in finish, durability and nj
that makes a sewing machine desirable
