TRADE.

TRADE.
So far two-thirds OF U summer ia
past and We are beginning to look
for cool nights and the rains that
usually precede them. Trade Of all
sorts has been good in Mexico this
year. The heavy spring importations
have been supplemented by fresh
supplies, but stocks are not heavy
and will not be until the fall rush
commenced. which will be unprece-
dented il No unforeseen accident be-
falls the corn crop. There 10 still
opportunity for those that have not
yet completed their summe toilets
or who wish to renew them at our
emporium Of Fashion" and other
stores, all of which are offering bar
gains to make room for fall supplies.
Our county and city r exceedingly
prosperous. Every M that deserves
work can find it and in addition to
this there is q large immigration and
great inquiry for real estate. Never
before were people better dressed,
more entertainments given or more
patronage bestowed on liveries, tai
Tors and dressmakers. Vive Ia sue
cess! There is nothing like prosper
lty 70 make the mare 60.

The daily fog horn, ever since its
editor has been to Elk Lick Springs,
has been quoting from correspon-
dents and newspapers 1.-THE amount
of fun Its editor, J. E. Hutton, had
been furnishing the people down in
tha9coantry." The people here at
home have repeatedly asked, "what
kind of fun is this of which you
speak 70 often aud in such praise
worthy terms"
They talk to each other about the
matter somewhat - follows: ut
can't be that be Is furnishing the Wis
itors with a circus or theatreT" "Ol
course he is not running . faro bank
Or keno urn?" do you suppose be
has magic lantern show or q church
festival?" ut can't be that he has
q swing, shooting gallery or enc Of
those baby racks to throw at?''
do you think he has q dancing
bear or apunch and judy show?'
In order to satisfy the minds oil
the above and other inquirers and O.
q matter Of news, We publish the fol.
lowing from the Vandalia Leader
which solves the problem:
at is the bran fever instead oil
the hay fever, that is troubling Col.
Hutton of the Mexico Intelligencer.
The Col. has been spending several
weeks at Elk Lick Springs. They
have q bogus secret society down
there, and have any amount of fun
initiating new members. One would
think the Col. too old q rat to be
caught IN such q trap, but they
called their society the "Knights OF
Chesterfield" and that was just the
name to capture the Col. In the
course of the initiation they tossed
him in q blanket till they bursted the
translated pads upon the calves ol
his legs, and then they stood him on
his head In q tub Of water and the
bran ratified down into his eyes and
his coat and vest fell all over his, head
exposing his corset to the view of the
assembled ladies and gentlemen
The Col. was so shocked that he was
unable to leave bis room when We
were there Sunday"

Guiteau wants to "write his life."
We think he had better let his life
alone. II Garfield dies he had best
write bis death instead of life. He is
getting tired of prison life, and finds
he is treated like a criminal and not
lionized as he expected. He wants
TO get out on bail; thinks he could
give 500 bail. A gentleman who
saw him the other day, says:
He is the demonstrating nan !

THE SILVER MOUNTAINS
Tunnel, Mining and MiilinK Company

This is the name Of & new mining
company lately organized in Denver,
Colorado. From u copy Of the pros
pectus, we see that Jim G.. Anderson,
late editor and proprietor Of the
Clarksville (Mo.) Sentinel, is Secre-
tary and Treasurer, as we'll as one
of the directors Of the company. He
is virtually managing the affairs of
the company, and all his old news
paper friends in Missouri know that
his management will be thoroughly
honest. The property is situated in
the booming Peru mining district,
and embraces ten known assure veins
carrying silver. A tunnel is now in
thirty feet, which at a distance of
one hundred and twenty-five feet will
cut the human No. L Ga lode not
named on the map), that assayed
from its ore. eve hundred ounces
Of silver to the ton, the first week 10
July.
The directors have set aside a GER
tain amount of their stock to be sold
as development stock" for the pur-
pose of raising capital to push the
tunnel to pay, and with Mr.. Anderson
as Treasurer, it is safe to say that
every dollar paid into the treasury
will be used in developing the prop
erty. A limited number of shares
will be sold at twenty-five cents per
share. The capital stock is S. ,OOO.-
600; 50O,0OO shares, par value, $40
q share, and the shares are forever
worcestershire. The First National
Bank of Denver is the Compahy's
depository. The Company invites the
most thorough investigation.
A thorough prospectus. containing
a map Of the property, can be seen
at this Office, and we have q few
copies for distribution. Copies will
