HiAWasha Chips
Peaches and grapes have gone TO woodbine; but
apples in all their glory. So are We.
Wheat sowing is about completed; and We are
pleased to a very large acreage in the soil.
Fair week was the most stirring We have seem
in Iiiawatha- Wagons, buggies and carriages were
jammcd and crowded from the depot to the Fair
grounds Dust few in binding sheets, and the wind
whistled. "Meet me aone,r "You and l." and "Home,
sweet home,- all the time
Our youthful friend, Tom. Mclaughlin, and Miss
Belle Herbert, are We saw them plishted-
They were both appropriately donncd, and they new
er looked better in their lives than they did that
| memorable night. Rev. Farmer drew the silken
knot at the Presbyterian church; after which, all
the worshippers extended to the happy pair their
best wishes May the hand of Providence lead them
safely through life, and at last land them on the
shore above, an unbroken family.
That same old loving ''sparker couple were at the
Fair, this Fall. They walked about with hand in
hand, and munched gnger-cake, of old. We hope
we are not jealous of their enjoyment; but We do
wish Polly liked us like that gal docs her 'feler"
District Court closed last Wednesday. We have
never witnessed more harmony among the officials.
Every officer was prompt in the discharge of his du
ty, and the Judge did not q harsh word to any Of
them. 1t is pleasant to such harmony in Court.
Judge Otis knows exactly how to conduct Court
properly. He bids all Godspeed.
That respected little friend of ours, W. d. Webb,
''wunked" wink at us; followed him. He took
us to the cigar store, and set em up. We bowed
thanks, and presented him with large grin. Then
We hurried back to post and ne started for the
train. He is of the hest bartenders i'm the Dis
trict.
Well, well, well Who ever would have thought
itt Dogoned if We thought Gohara that! No,
sir; Ditto is no relation to blamed old Gohara.
n. Price is a brick.
We pleased to note, and delighted to state, that
Hon. A. G. Otis is gaining many friends here Every
time he comes up to this place, he leaves several
more links to his extensive chain of friends. Many
who bitterly opposed him, saying he was a railroad
attorney, etc, now say he is just Judge and gen.
tleman of the highest culture If the people Of this
District re-nominate him, he will receive q rousng
vote in Brown County. The way he makes lawyers
stand around, is pleasant to the farmers. We have
the right man now, and let keep him.
Socrates died like philosopher; but We are Of the
opinion that if he had taken charge Of two hung ju
ries after the other, he would have died raving
maniac. So ends our life.
Jesse Price has received his sentence and is now in
ty, and sentenced. He is charged with burglary in
the second degree He tried to enter the house of
Elbridge. Chase for the purpose of extracting 500
therefrom but failed The Judge gave him the light
est sentence he eould-fve years.
Drs Graves and Bliss successfully performed q
surgical operation daughter of Jake Bunns last
week. The patient was very badly hare-lipped, and
the operation one that required great care and
Skill which these two gentlemen are in possession of.
The lip looks WELL and WILL doubt soon be a. nat
ural as any ones.
An old gentleman and his wife came to town, the
other day, for the purpose Of having their matrmo
NAL bonds annulled. Thoy have lived together many
long years. and have just found that they are not
well mated. They wanted to be unhtched, and have
their property equally divided. They thought they
could be unmarried just easily as they were mar
RED.
The County Convention has nominated good
corps of candidates, clear through. We hope the
people will do their whole duty when the election
day rolls around. Not a the ticket is q ras-
cal or shyster. The voice Of the people is the
preme law of the land, except, perhaps where re-
turning boards used.
With this number of the Chief We bid our friends
farewell at least for awhile We 20 to other clmes,
to other fields Of labor Our letters have been weak,
and very devoid Of wit wisdom, but they the
best we had in our shop. Some have admired them,
while some have condemned; but praise did not
make us feel proud, nor censure discourage Our
aim to help the Chief all could and if posi-
bic, make it interesting its many subscribers
at this place. We have offended many and we are
heartily sorry of it. We have been in n place
that is dearer to than the town of IIiawsha. Its
men kind and generous its ladies arc polite and
affabe. We trust that some Que in this place will
take up the pen, and furnish and better letters
to tho Chief for it surely deserves it. Friend Sol,
may God take care of you and your printers. You
have been kind to us, and we love you for it. You
shall hear from us sometime. Goodbye to all
