| the name of Mitchell. We make this allusion
to him because, just now, as we came by his
door, the editorial nose was gratefully assailed
by the savory stews and tempting soups
which are fabricated there in the highest
style of the culinary art. One can not better
pay tribute to a worthy townsman than by
mentioning the pleasing favor of his viands
You get very square meal for a very reason
abla assessment at this eating house. And so
it deserves the patronage of confding and
appetising public.
AS we came by George Kitzmeyer's place
yesterday We were set to musing upon the
| eternal queerness of things. There stands
| by his door a swinging baby cradle, sort of
light, lattice work contrivance whose rocking
is automatic, or if not automatic, easy and
quite within the motive power of a single
handed infant. The same had excited the
examining it's ways and admiring its pretty
painting She was a true and genuine daughter
of the soil, as her paint bestreaked face in
dicated So we, as we looked at her and
from her to that easily swinging, hammock
like cradle, fell to thinking of the strenuous but
futile efforts of artto invent something which
should be an improvement upon the plans
and patents of Mother Nature. That Indian
woman, when she was baby, was carried
about in plated baby-jumper made of
willow withes, with head shade and swad
ding bands When her mother got tired of
packing" her, she stood her up alongside of
the first resting place, as one would stand up
an umbrella or walking-stick The back
his babyhood. These are the primatves. Is
the newer and handsomer contrivance of the
inventor and patentee any nearer to the
natural needs of infant llfe} Doubtful.
Babies are babies, cradle or no cradIe-and
we know band of pretty healthy tow heads
who never knew what it was to be rocked in
cradle. Maternity, well directed and III
dead earnest, beats the Patent office!
We know of lady's catching bat lately.
She kept the little beast until the next day
so that the children might see it. When he |
did not know that anybody was listening to
his harangue, hve-year-od Teller thus ad |
dressed that flying varnint, as he lay there
Gagged in an old seive You are reading |
that newspaper, amt you, you funny little
thingl You look queer; and my mamma says |
you'll bite You have got hooks on your
wings and hang yourself up to sleep; and l |
think yoa must be ABOUT the size of an |
angel" This is pretty nigh phonetic-as
near verbatim as one can make it. Nice idea
of angels But who knows how far off he is!
General Batterman went up to the Com
stock yesterday. He went by the railroad,
which is quicker than the Crawford Plan.
Mr. W. s. Hobart was one of the arrivals by |
the lightning train.
Bosko still offers to let that unoccupied |
south half of his store in the county build
ing. Here is good chance to set up giant
powder factory or a nitro glycerine shop.
Fred Turner, Judge Wtherell and the rest
might object; but that's nothing.
If any man, woman or child is without q
moving machine or horse rake or a cooking
range it is their own fault There is Wagner,
the hardware man, Just aching to sell such
things, also rat traps, willow ware, table cut
tlery, lead pipe, garden hose, gimlets, cor
iage, stove polish, tinware, bird cages, pre-
serve cans and everything in the line of iron
and steel and copper and brass and tin. Why,
hen go hungry for such, when here they
ire at the very lowest prices that ever were
cached in these parts2 We have reference

luainted go and give yourself an introduction.
