 Gold Weather is only two weeks since we made an item oflthe mild, balmy October atmosphere that had prevailed all through the winter up to that time, but this delightful weather, like all things else. must have an end.

It takes pretty smart man to be mean, and do it up in good shape. Editor Deacon's effort was bad failure. We are personally acquainted with him, and know him to be pleasant, compan- ionable young man, but when we read the naughty words he wrote about us, our first impulse was to weigh him off about seven ty five cents worth, but-pshaw! whats the use anyway come over and see us cost you cent.
