Uncle Buck's ESnclSslidfng.

Not far from Powder Springs, in an
old pine orchard, is an old, dilapidated
school house built and used by the col
ored people some years ago. Net long
since Il minister had an appointment TO
preach there on Friday night and an
Old crow, who resided at q grog shop
near by, who had learned to speak some
English, had taken refuge in the old
school house and perched himself on
the joist near where the pastor stood
and seemed to feel at home as he was
worshiping with persons Of the same
color. After singing and praying the
congregation got mixed up in great
confusion when the old crow uttered, in
a distict tone, the words "d-n you"
which were repeated two or three times
in rapid succession.
The preacher, Notwithstanding he had
preached from the text: "Stand still ard
see the salvation OF the Lord" made
quick his escape through the small win
dow and went through the old pine
field at break neck pace, and without
any further ceremonies the congrega-
tion made tor the doors and windows
in stampede and in the confusion old
Uncle Buck, crippled deacon, was on
his crutches, had been run over aud left
lying on his back away from his crutch-
es and was unable to make his escape,
when the crow flew down on q bench
near where the old aul helpless rhen-
matte lay and again uttered the ominous
"damn you" whereupon tho old man
threw up his hands and exclaimed: IL
didn't have anything to do with this
meeting, and if you will let me alone
this time, Mr. Devii, III never go TO
meeting any more, but will go darcing

BELIEVE ME.

Believe me, when tell thee, darling,
That ny heart is warm anG true;
And the years have only brought up
Hope and love combined with you.
Bitter memory wakes the sorrow
That has slumbered many years;
For the daylight hour is nearing
Wien We meet in smiles and tears.
The world may scooff and turn coldly
On my track DER land and sea.
Yet III bear the blow more brayely
II il leads to love and thee.
Lonely hours and fading pleasures
Fill the mind with days gone by,
When we kissed our little treasures,
Parting sadly; you and |.
Fate and fortune ever battling
In the ranks of bounding life,
Down to-day and up tomorrow
Is the lesson of the strife.
Loving hearts must never falter;
Hoping onward TO the last;
Breast the storm without murmur;
God will help when all is past.

tie, and was prettier than any other
baby ever was; nor the little girl who
was SO wonderful genius when she
play yed her FIRST tune on the piano or
worked her first book-mark. lie who
falls in love with you may have known
twenty other pretty girls, and have been
perhaps, at some time; in love with half
Of them. Iu some things you will fall
short Of some one he has known. Your
eyes will not be so fine as those OF Miss
Lavina, and you will never make cake
as his mother does. Here at the old
home you have been perfection; even if
prudence kept your parents from say
ing so, they can not believe any one
quite SO nice as ''our Lily" They ling

shoulders toe burdens and shields you
from life's worry: where the innocent
days fchil1Eood have been passed-and

Or0rCIAL CHANGES

Next Monday the newlv.elected county
officers-exceptt the reasurer-will assume
the duties Of the respective Offices to which
they have been elected by the people. The
consolidation of offices ceases to exist and
the new deal commences. This new order
If things Is liable to be productive Of ben.
eficial results 30 far as the people are con.
cerned. A separation of the offices will
certainly present the opportunity OF rem
dering greater efficiency In performing the
work belonging to each office.
Sheriff Reinhardt will be his own sue
cessor in the office Of Sheriff. He has had
the benefit Of one terms experience In the
Office, from which It Is safe to predict that
term in manner satisfactory to the people
and creditably to himself
The office Of Assessor. being no longer
attached to that of the Sheriff, Ozias Willis
will fill the position acceptably to the tax
payers Of the county. That he will make a
vigilant, honest and faithful Assessor there
is no room to doubt.
Phil d. McGough will take charge Of
the County Clerk and Recorders office
with an intimate acquaintance with the bu.
siness of the county and familiarity with
the public records that will prove advan.
tageous to every citizen who may happen
to have business with his Office Our peo-
pie may look for an accurate and obliging
performance of all Of the duties Of the Of.
flee during "Little Macs" incumbency.
Robt. T. Wing in taking the position OF
Probate Judge, will be found to be the man
for the place. The Office Is one that Is
growing in importance every year. The
incumbent, besides possessing the qualif-
cations to make an honest and impartial
judge or examining magistrate, should be
man of careful and exact business habits.
Judge Wing will not be wanting in the es-
sential qualifications, to fill the Office OF
Probate Judge.
Treasurer Shineberger will not relin.
quish the Office that he has filled with sin.
gular ability Tor nearly two years until the
list of next March, when Treasurer. elect
Joe c. Metlin will take the position.
John Cannon, the new Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, enters an inviting field
for the display Of activity in the cause Of
education throughout the county. Mr..
Cannon will have rare chance to promote
the welfare Of the public schools Of the
county BY taking an active interest in school
matters.
The next meeting Of the Toa d Of Coun.
ty Commissioners will witness change.
G. w. Turner, Of Glendale, and Dave E.
Metlen, Of Bannack, will not be on the
Board. 0. w. w. Rote and John Wells,
both Of Glendale, will occupy seats on the
Board. The new Commissioners are ener.
getic and careful merchants who are ex.
pected to unite with Commissioner Lowell
In an economic administration of county
affairs. They will prove active officers.
Our new county officials will assume
their respective official positions under ia.
vorable circumstances, and the people of
Beaverhead County will have every reason
to expect an honest administration Of coun.
ty affairs tor the next two years to come.
