The casino player, who has but the
| deuce of hearts and the deuce of diamonds
left to play, and studies for an hour which
one of them he shall get rid Of first, is a
very deliberate man.
The Consolation Ball will take place on
Thursday, Oct. 5, instead Of the 9th, IS
heretofore advertised; owing to the fact
that the Opera House has been engaged
for Republican speaking on that date.
At one of the saloons down ON Main

With the exception of Hon. W. w. Bishop
| the stump speakers SO far put in the field
by the Republicans, to whoop up the
grand old party in the present political
campaign, are a sort of managerie. Euoch
Strother, Jim Stevens, Johnny Dormer
and Uncle George Tufy may be most ex-
cellent citizens, but as stumpers they can
hardly be considered u very strong quar-
tette. We should think that a still hunt
would be the strong suit of that crowd.
We observe that among the names Of
those who got left by the two recent

and he will no doubt be accommodated
now that the attention Of the movers in
the scheme has been called TO their over
sight.
There were rumors flying about on the
streets yesterday that the graders on the
extension of the E. 4 P. Railroad to the

Richmond Company, and that fighters
with shotguns were repairing to the

these rumors were utterly without founda-
ton. We believe the facts to be simply
these: That the Superintendent of the
Albion, being informed that Manager Pro-
bert would refuse him right of way over
the intervening Richmond ground, Or
dered his graders to stop work.
