p,i,ted their report. The session oil this
august BODY lasted nine days. The re-

enemies and prompted by petty spite

cution. 1t il the opinion OF many tina,

Some time ago, aEl Tor quite u length
OF time, one Of our Young hloods about
town. whom We shall call Peter, for
short, because that il iils name, was
particularly sweet upon the pretty
daughter Of one OF the saloon keepers 81
this place. Peter wasted his wealth
layishly upon the Young lady and like
wise became one Of the old mans (thC
saloon kcepcr'sl best customers. Now
Peter was under ~ years Of age, and II
was contrary To law Ia furnish intorica
ting drinks 10 all such. While oui
young man was making himself sweet
upon the young lady and imbiblng from
the old gentlemans bar he was also keep
ing his eye peeled 10 all attractions Of
the statute on those premises. Well,
matters went along sWImmlngly Tor Q
time, but finally the young lady became
tired OF the attentions Of our hero and
! unieelinglv cast him OH Then Peter in
his wrath vowed vengeance against the
girl and her sisters, her cousins and hei
augts, and Likewise her father, the
liquor seller. The young man thereup
on made IL known a. the proper parties
that lac could a tale unfold Of nu
merous violations OF tie liquor laws o
he state, and Prosecuting Attorney
Mitchell accordingly gave him an op
portunity to tell what he knew beior'
the grand jury. Result-tbe old gentle
man, whom Peter fondly hoped 20 cal
iather-in-law, land perhaps becuin,
partner in the business is indicted, nu
merous bills being found against him
and thus Peter had his revenge.

TO be census supervisor, has been ~
jected by the Senate. Mr.. Hunt II
away from home and IL is presumed
that hs had gone 10 Washington To- ~,

yet confirm the appointment.
There ~ no excitement over here ot
the county seat question. our citizens
10 not seem to b. taking much Interest
ia the matter. Many are Of the opinion
that 1t will be just as well 10 allow VOTE
to bc taken and be rid Of the question
st. ClairsyiIie could probably defeat th'
project easier nov than after awhile.
