Five louty Cherry y-streeters tried to climb

The Fl. s. and L. S. held forth at Cold
Springs on Sunday Tho attendance was
large, ana considerable enjoyment was to
be had. A party made up of dapper clerks
and light-headed scum put in during the

pus, which scared away many of the first
families. If these picnic disturbers were
put upon our rock k-pile for few months,
it would give our law-abiding citizens a
breathing spell.

His Honor thought it best to make an eSti-
mate of Johns shirt, which was put at 81.
Wah refused at first to pay, but upon being
informed of the rash consequences finally
consented to unroll his wad.
Almost 10000 people passed in the gates
at the fair grounds on Sunday; the receipts
for the day were 5000. The swell in at
tendance was mainly due to the excursion
lists who hocked into the city. The sing
ing was the best of the term. The after
noon services took in the "shouters." For
the comfort of many who attend it might
be proper to remark that the continuous
riding about the grounds of a party of
sn0bs Could easily be dispensed with, and
much to everybody's relief, for on Sunday
| the dust was just sufocating Send the
darlings out on the mud roads and let the
girls do their mashing down on Market
: Square.
