latter of which shoots the ordinary
Winchester cartridge; has very
handsome walnut pistol grip stock,
and altogether is the finest. gun in
town, and Mr.. d. feels as happy over
it as boy with pair of new red.top
boots. Hope he'll initiate it on ven

older class of citizens as the widow of

'ident Hayes third annual
MESA to Congress, which met on
Monday, will be found in Supplement
form in to-days paper. We have
been at a good deal of expense in Civ
ing this interesting document to our
readers in this form, both as to print.
ing and additional postage, and we
hope they will appreciate our efforts
in this particular. 1t is an instrument
which every voter and tax payer
should read, as therein are laid down
the views Of the President regarding
the administration of National affairs,
and there is no point Of general or
particular interest to the government
but what is touched upon. 1t might
be we'll to further remark that it is no
quack medicine circular.
Mr. N. S. Foreman met with
quite severe and painful accident on
Friday last. He, in company with
Mr.. j. S. Henderson, of East Hickory,
has job of putting in logs near that
place, and while he was engaged ar.
ranging some on the "skidway," his
leg was caught, and the outside bone
of his left leg was broken about three
inches above the ankle. The fracture
was reduced by DIR. Blaine, and Mr..
Foreman was brought home on Satur.
day evening. He received wound
in the same leg in the army, since
which time it has been stiff; had it
not been for this he would probably
have been able to escape this injury.
He is doing well, and will be able to
be out in a couple of weeks.
The "Wart- Hog" insists that
because we have heretofore folded up
supplements in our paper, we shouldn't
find fault at him for doing likewise.
We wish to remark that there is a
vast difference in these cases: We
have frequently folded supplements in
our paper, but they were made up of
choice reading matter, and went in as
Supplements" which every publisher
has right to do, provided he pays
the postage, and the postmasters books
will show that we have complied with
the law in every instance. We got no
return from them, but did it wholly
for the benefit of our readers. We
never enclosed quack medicine cir
cular in our paper for any purpose
not even to defraud the government
out of postage, and until we do, we
shall continue to find fault with Others
for doing so. In order to get the
benefit of this law, supplement must
be part and parcel of the paper, and
contain certain amount of general
reading matter. But the bitterest and
most heart.rending vail is where he
says we "try to injure his professional
reputation" S u-ffe.r.i-n-g Invalids
Think of it Trying to injure Coburn's
professional reputation Why you
nearly take our breath away! Now,
we have frequently heard of persons
trying to spoil rotten eggs, but this is
the first instance, to our knowledge, ot
anybody trying to injure Coburn's
professional reputation. Really
didn't you intend that for joke
