The Loafers' Club.

The Loafers' Club was re-orpaniz.
ed Tor the summer campaign. last
week. There was a pretty full at.
tendance OF old members, and sew.
efai new candidates for admission
presented themselves, who were
taken In on probation. The old con.
sfltution Was adopted, but some new
bylaws were proposed and their adj.
visibility discussed. 1t being too
hot to speak over five minutes at y
time, and the members present de.
string to talk the matter over more
fully, final action on them was de.
ferred.
The election of officers was left
Tor future meetings, but it was unan-
lmously decided to hold three daily
sessions, as follows: in the morning
on tue east side of townLat Frank
SMITHS; at midday around the
Court house; and in the afternoon
On the west side-ali the way from
Moore u Sons down to Kelly's.-
headquarters not Sin the saddle
but anywhere in the shade.
The following rules as to members
will be rigidly enforced:
No one can go fishing oftener than
three times a week.
No sleeping allowed during di-
vine service. "a 11 s'as1.
Habits of economy are strictly
given in charge; hence every man
will furnish his own tobacco.
industrious habits are to be cult
waited, and for this purpose every
member will be required to hunt his
own fieas once every half hour. If
he has no fieas to hunt, he will be
expected to drive a few hogs around
the public sqnare-the town to fur
nsh the hogs.
The 'sfy season" boom having ar
rived, the few remaining citizens
who have not joined the club, are
expected to do so at once.
1t having been decided that the
LATEST man in town will not be elect
ed to the fattest Office, the two or
three aspirants who have been in
training for week past might as
well sit up, and not be caught lying
down on counters, benches or empty
dry goods boxes. ha1'ass

u We are often asked why we
cannot furnish the Banner as cheap
as papers in the large cities can be
had. 1t would be impossible for a
publisher in small place like this
to compete, either in price, quantity
or variety of reading matter, with
papers from the larger cities. The
city papers have facilities for print
ing papers cheaply which coun-
try publishers do not possess
Do not expect too much of country
journals. Considering the ruinous
credit system now in vogue, we
think many of us do well to publish
any kind of paper at all. Quarrel
ing at, and damning your poorly
supported local paper, don't make
it any better. Try greenbacks, and
leave off your growing. 1t takes
money to run newspaper, as well
as any other business; and no man
can well afford to take $3.50, an
nually, and publish a paper costing
double the amount. 1t isn't BUSH
ness.

change, 55 Beekman street. Price,
80 cents.
One of the pleasantest child books
we have seen for many day.
Everything in it is good. 1t is more
than good. 1t comes down to child
life with reality that makes the
stories wholly enjoyable. 1t treats
children neither as imps nor little
angels, but live epitomes of men and
women. Many try to write children's
books, and few succeed. Ellen Tracy
Alden has higher idea of the men
tai powers of children than most
writer's of juvenile works, and she
is right. Children follow the intri.
cacles of a story and take in all its
leading points long in advance OF the
period of life usually marked out for
them. A book for child, in it's
language, its style, its arguments,
should be selected with more care
even than for those who are older.

The history of the late war has yet
to be written, as events crowd so
rapidly on each other that the main
springs of the actions of the leaders
on each side are but just now being
brought to light, and the truth of
history sindicated after strife and
clamor of factious quarrels have
passed away. The book By the late
Gen. j. B. Hood, which is adyertis-
ed in another column, gives much
light on the inner life of secession,
as seen by an actual participant.
