Quite sensation was created by mar
ricd couple, who had only been spliced the
day before, finding Chinese baby in their
bed when they retired for the first time in

Mr.. j. Z. Braggins executed the finest
frame OF advertisements ever seen in our
town. The printing was done at this office
and shows large variety of different styles

office.

the departure of DIR. Harpel on protract-

his absence DR.. Palmer, a physician of the

tients. A slight mistake. We are now in
formed that DR.. Harpcl had referred some
of his patients TO DR.. Palmer, who consent
cd TO treat such as might call upon him;
only this and nothing more.

pasttwo weeks but the climate is more equi-
table than in many mountain towns. Peo-
pie coming from there say it is fully AS
warm there in the middle of the day as ii is
here, while the nights are too cool to be
healthy. Many feel the heat much more
under those circumstances than they do in
Canon, where we do not baye to change
our linen for ovcrcoats every day.
The old blacksmith shop on Main street,
SO long occupied by Mr.. Frank Hartwen,
which was torn down this week TO be re-
placed with an elegant store room, was
built in 1859 or 1860, and was one of the
first houses erected in Canon. Its age and
the memories surrounding it did not pre-
vent il, however, from being an eye-sore
and no one regrets its removal, since q
building of substantial worth is TO go up
on its site.

tion he passed over the river and is nov
reaping tie reward Of the faithful.
