on to your gobler. There is every.
thing to be thankful for even the
disappointed Democrats who were 80
numerically whipped at the late
election can be thankful IL ives no
worse. They can also thank the Lord
that the country will fare better than
if they had been successful.
Mr.. Henderson complains seri.
ously about the many long faces he
has TO shave since the election; be
says he could even stand that, but
there are SO many who seem TO think
that he can keep large family on
trust" for pay, and it takes very
close figuring to make both ends meet.
There is little enough in the barber
business in this place when all pay up
promptly, and no one should expect
Mr.. Henderson to trust them.
Tho boiler for Beck a. Hassel.
backs new mill at Blacls Corners is
expected to arrive here this week and
will be moved to the mill by Mr.. S. s.
Garfield, who has done as much of
this kind Of work as any man in the
country, and knows how to handle
heavy machinery. This boiler weighs
over FIVE tons, and will require at least
four teams to handle it. 1t is proba.
bly, the heaviest ever brought into this
county.
Our lumbermen have been blessed
with very nice flood in the creek
and river during the week, and several
timber and board RATS have been
started on their 6ay to the lower mar
kets. Some of the lumber was run
from as far up the creek as Balltown,
and quite lot was stuck and "stove-
up" Everybody is happy that the
food kept back until election was
over. We hope all will get through
afely, and the men return with their
pockets bulging out with ducats.
The Chairman of both the Demo
crat and Greenback parties in this
county issue addresses of congratula-
tion to their parties in which they
each express great confidence in their
ability to gain victories in the future,
and each mildly iusinuates that the
other party is on its last legs. For
the life of lis we cannot see what either
party has to glory over, and we be-
lieve it wouldA't be out of order at all
for our chairman to come out in
card and intimate as much.
The death y4te within the past
three weeks among children in this
vicinity is unusually large. Mr..
Samuel Ruth, who lives near Oldtown
buried child about 2 years OF age Oh
Sunday last, it being the second within
| two weeks. The disease seems to have
been something of the nature of lung
fever, Henry Ahlers of Dutch Hill
hurried a child about four years of age
on Sundey; we did not learn the par
ticulars. A little son of Christopher
Zuendel, aged shout one year, died on
the 30th ult.
The paying and receiving of elec-
ton beta is now ia srder and the via
ners are wearing smiling faces. Those
shO have to pay ate doubly disap-
poiAted, first that their candidate is
defeated, and second, because they are
out of pocket. The hat dealers
throughout the country will doubtless
do a good business for several days, as
"a new hat" is about the first thing to
roll out Of mans mouth, as it were
when talking about betting. Pay up
your bets, gentlemen, and you'll all
feel easier.
1t is settl ed that the Republicans
have swept the country by such tre-
mendous tide that no man or body of
men will dare to question the result.
Now let business boom, and the irri-
tation of he past few months be for
COTTON. The country has got big
Job off its hands, and has disposed of
it admirably and decisively. There is
nothing to do but to shake hands over
the outcome and fall to work building
