Gently expired. She did not do like
some men do-let the paper run on
and then get mad because We wanted
pay for it; she came in and said she
did not have the money, but would
pay as soon as she could. Monday
she came to town and paid enough
money to set the figures away into
1878. We sometimes wish all our
subscribers were women.
Election day was beautiful, and
candidates and their friends had the
incest time imaginable to button

Our old friend, Judge Fuller
came near furnishing the papers with
an item for a fatal accident, which
would have caused sorrow in every
household. He attempted to get on
the local, Saturday, at Inwood, while
it was backing slowly. Just as hs

wet, and he slipped and fell with his
head on the track, by an effort hs
threw his head and shoulders to one
side, but the wheels caught his hat
stripping it from his head, cutting the
