and thinking that our village and its do

placed upon record, deem 1t proper to

or perhaps every week.
"A young gent from Frankford came
up to this place on Saturday last, ostensi.
bly, for the purpose Of having row with
some one. He stumped tho town for .

parties, with few others, drove outside
the corporation, and the would.be bully

in about thirty seconds or less.
We attended church last evening and
were very much annoyed by some young
ladies sitting in front Of US who nearly
twisted their necks out of joint looking
behind them at every fresh arrival, doubt.

arrived to see them home. Now, young
ladies, if there is one thing more than
another which makes you appear ridicu.
lous, it is this very unmannerly and Ill.

church. II you have the magnetic IT,

The dramatic entertainment and bali
held at Hsising's Hall, on Friday even.
ing last, was in every way success. The
performers, most Of whom were new be-
ginners, all acted their parts well; but
especial praise must be awarded John
DunlevY (of the Ne,cs) who rivaled many
travelling professionals. In the piece en-.
titled MY Turn Next" he personifled
the betrayed husband of the charming
young widow, Mrs. Brown, alias Green,
alias Black, alias White, to perfection
the scene being in country apothecary's
shop, and John, Is Traxlcum Twitters,
was the proprietor. In the piece entitled
"A Close Shave" John behaved very
badly, as Zeb, the BARRIERS colored ap-
prentice. The lie Roy Cornet Band were
in attendance, and enjoyed the hospital.

that those LIE Roy boys can play we'll
doesn't do them the justice they merit.
Our band netted about $ss. sixty.four
dance numbers were sold, and everything
went of smoothly. W. T. Hughart, Of
the Centennial House, got up such = sup.
per As called forth many words of praise
by those partaking of it. The dance
music, led by our old standby Serb,
gave entire satisfaction, and very many
said it was the boss dance Of Grand hea'

Hon. J. F. Goodsell seems to be
hanging fire over the county seat question
He doesn't seem to know whether to re
present the wishes of twelve or thirteen
hundred honest petitioners for the re
moval of the county seat to Ramsey, OF
the wishes of the 2004 men, women and
children Of Austin and vicinity and 4
part Of Freedom county. Remember
Jimmie. that in politics, home influence
is worth q heap to IN aspiring young
man, and as the senate Is controlled
wholly BY home influence, this side OF
the county must do likewise in order t.
