over, and few will commence threshing
this week. j. E. Faverow is supremacy
happy at present, his wife and daughter
are visiting him. They will return to Lake
City in few weeks. John Harding was
badly injured Saturday, by being kicked
by colt. 1t seems Mr. Harding was 60
ing between the colt and another horse,
when the former kicked him in the stom-
ach, knocking him sensless. As he fell
he struck his head and arm against some
thing, grazing them badly. "A disgrace
full row was INDUCED in on Sunday, in
which one drunken bully was badly used
up. We could not learn which was most
to blame, but both deserve their share of
it. The fight began in the usual way of
calling names and bandinage, by pair of
precious fellows crazed by drink with 9TH
ers as bad to cheer them on. The saloon
keepers are most to blame for keeping
their places open on Sundays. The only
way for these shameful affairs to be stop
ped is for some citizen to enter COM
plant, and have the hell-holes closed.

T4LEDICTORY.

AT thesciose of our three days experience
as editor, it becomes our duty to return
thanks to the patrons of this paper for their
liberal patronage during our term of office.
We went into the business with an indif-
ference that would surprise an old editor,
but we came out at the small end of the
horn. We once saw an elephant that ate
one ton of hay every week, we thought
that was the most capacious NAV we ever
saw, but it wasn't circumstance to a
newspaper: the number of tons of matter
we wrote for that issue is incredible, and
still the crywas "more copy" more copy"
When the last demand was satisfied, we
sat down with sigh of relief, and solemn
ly resolved never again to sit down in an
editorial chair. Our last idea had gone
into that paper, and We hadn't one left to
begin another issue with, SO, dear reader,
you would have been treated to blank
this week, but for tine timely return of the
editor-in chief. But the Office has its com.
pensations; for instance, we got cigar
from one patron. and as we havn't finished
the one we commenced 40 years ago, this
one is likely TO last to the end; this gift
alone might satisfy man of less ambition
than us, but our elevation to the editorial
chair elevated Our aspirations. We were
hoping that We would anon receive hat
or pair of boots, but instead we were in
formed that we might expect to receive the
oe.of one boot several times repeated if
we didn't do everything to suit everybody
in every part of the city and county. On
the whole we are as glad to bid you, dear
public. good bye as you are us, and we
would advise everybody TO save the toe Of
their boot, for there is law for the inocent
and helpless.
Yours truly. SUB.
