Dropping into Murray & Richards old
Office Monday We found these gentlemen
quarrelling over their books Having
dissolved partnership and having differ
emit Offices hereafter of course the divis,on
interested them somewhat. From vari.
Gus hooks the "plunder" was dragged
forth, but when Mcdonald pulled out
from . drawer quart bottle partly fill
ed with whisky straight" the sounds Of
strife were hushed. Over this We ex-
pected to zee blood shed-but to our
utter astonishment they with one accord
began to mako excuse. Shortly after
another, e pint bottle this time) also
partly filled, was dragged forth from .
secret drawer. This settled it. It WAS
too good to kesp-soit was thrown away !!
But 10 had to make note Of it all the
same. Who it actually belonged TO We
do not know. They both looked sur.
prised.

We were reliably informed that the
census taker appointed by tho Mayor to
take the census Of the city for the use Of
the council in passing upon license, has
now about 40 names Of adults-actual
bona fide residents under the meaning OF
the Law. Al it il generally understood
that his figures are reliable this would
make our actual population inside the
city about 100. The fact 10 that during
the past month this place has received
the largest emigration ever experienced
during the same length Of time in all
our previous history. The chances are
that another census will Be taken before
long. In conclusion We might add that
owing to the intense feeling on the
license question there il no chance Of any
false returns being made, and when .
census il taken - the one last week was
made, you can bet on its being correct.

1t will be remembered that in 1871
this township voted bonds to build q
bridge across the Neosho, to the amount
of $29, $50, drawing ten per cent. and to
run fifteen years. The time they were
to run is now half gone. The interest
has heretofore been paid but last year
the levy was not made and We are now
delinquent for half years taxes. The
second payment Of interest comes due in
August. An effort to compromise was
really the reason for not making the levy,
we presume. That failed and now we
are confronted with the problem Of how
to pay?
Under . law passed by the last Legis-
lature it is possible for US to vote bonds
drawing six per cent due in thirty years
As refunding bonds. Tho interest will
have to be paid semi-annually and at
the expiration of eleven years from date
of bonds payment Of the principal must
commenc cand 10th of principal must
be paid yearly until they are paid. By
voting these refanding bonds We put of
the day of payment and save four per
cent. interest yearly.
The township board have corresponded
with Donnell, Lawson l. Co., of New
York, who will take the refunding bonds
at par and buy up our old bonds at thei'
face. This will, for the present, clear III
of an incumbrance We are not prepared
to meet.
By reference to our advertising COL
umus it will be seen that the board have
called . special election, which will bt
held May 9th.
Our columns are open to communica
tions for and against the proposition.
Hand them in by Tuesday Of next weei

VINO wouldn't be an lola Man

Who Wouldn't be an lola MAN.
It was too mean, but it was done all
the same. About week since an lola
man wen. down below Humboldt few
miles and came in from the south. Driv-
ing to the lumber yard he priced around
for q good sized bill of lumber and,
knowing what lumber was he got COED
fair prices But the prices he got were
the same that lumber has been selling
for in lola for some time past. In the
meantime another man started from
lola, and also wants q fine bill Oflumber.
His figures beat the other mans all hol-
low! Moral-When You want bargins
always go from lola after you have had
prices offered you here.

CUTION,

Once more, yesterday, the cotton tele-
grams came IN booming" with further advances
OF price at all the principal markets. In New
York futures were sold 10 the amount OF $4,000
bales, which looks as II the people there were Of
opinion that cotton is 81 good thing" In our mar
ket the inquiry was good the price went up TO 95sc
and still buyers found IL hard TO get cotOns at quo
tatiOns. Below middlng the asking not less
than lsc above and nTm the lower grades in best
demand. The New York Bulletifa, of Saturday re-
ported receipts below calculations, with improve
ment at Liverpool, and Manchester accounts more
encouraging; futures were nine points higher on
this month On Monday the same paper reported
continuation OF the improvements. and said: BUY
ing orders from Out-Of-tOWn were received In con-
siderable number the covering proved free, and gen.
orally buyers manifested fair degree of interest,
upon which values we're generally advanced. The
influences leading to this result were the much bet
ter foreign accounts. which seemed to show a rad-
cal change in the temper Of the Liverpool market
for the present az least, and to have created alarm
among operators upon the short side. Receipts
at the ports were comparatively moderate and ad-
vices from both the south and the eastward
derstOOd TO be better. Generally the position has
shown more spirit and character than for a long
time past, and affords decided relief from the
