sie prlze as the pQSsessoro OF fhe.S llengest
nose, and Miss Mary Wagner, the
prize offered for the best looking
young lady, at the entertainment Civ
/ en- by the celebrated G. D. D. at
Writer'S Hall, last Saturday evening.
We are now prepared to think that
I'D. D." is not entirely sell. Our
faith has been increased.
Uncle Robert Grace, the fat and
faithful, has beea making the house
wives happy with beautiful brackets
md bronzed iron "fxins" for house
,lants. While the sold man" draws
! tO'cn his face and up his pocket-book,
the "llttle woman just smiles, and
says, 'Isp't it toe pretty for anything?"
and Uncle Robert just looks happy,
and says. "Well now. amt it. 3"
-fhe little country paper" is
the best read paper in the world.
| No other contains news Of the mar
riages and deaths, to say nothing of
divorces and births; no other relates
the accidents happening before the
8 doors of the villagers; no other gives
the time for the next ball, PIC mic or
political meeting; no other discusses
the affairs of the town and county, the
arrival of goods on the merchants
counters, or new hat on the editors
desk. Without paper, the town that
has ever enjoyed veil managed one,
feels indeed lost.
We received a call from Geo.
Wood, one of the go ahead young men
f of Grand Rapids, Mr.. Wood has
been and still is buying -four at the
Narth Star Mills and hauling it to
Grand Rapids. This seems little
strange, but he tells US he can do so
, and sell it at less than it can be bought
at the Centralia Mills, and then make
fair proft.-,St. PIT, Journal.
We like to see George thriving.
Now if he will try not to be like some
" other of our merchants, and advertise
> his wares, success is assured,

S The Showano Journal think
that Congressman Pound ought to b

d leave to assure the Journal that Gov
r. Pound has not been home four day
x since Congress met, and that h
