making a tour Of the Sunny South in the
interest Of the oil stovc-by the way, we
should think the south would be just the
country for oil stoves-has sent us recent
ly several copies Of Austin and Galveston,
Texas, papers. They are Democratic to
the core, but very creditable papers never
theless.
e. B. Crane, who has been and is still
in the employ Of the n. P. r. Il. Co.,
will return home soon for the remainder
of the winter He has explored and
bought up the Far West and we suppose
will swim home by the way of the north
west passage, and settle down for a
couple of months in this warm climate
contentedly.
| Everybody is getting excited as
Christmas approaches, and G. Schleuder's
jewclry store is attracting the crowds
who are already beginning to make their
purchases. His stock is large and ample
for every demand, and we can assure you
it is in the line Of your interest to look
over the closely packed showcases and
crowded shelves.
The ladies of the NJ. e. church will
give all oyster supper at Park Place this

There arc men in this city who can
not keep up conversation five minutes,
unless under the restraint Of a lady's par

for the passcr-by to be obliged to hear
this profanity. Boys, do you respect
these men? Do you admire them? No
gentleman will take the name of God in
vain. No gentleman is ever profane.
| Mrs. r. A. Barnes gave her family

yesterday she was considered much better.
We hope she may recover without further
serious results.

giving day. We suppose ''Will' thinks
he has special reasons for being thankful
all the time,-and, by the way, we learn
an elegant suite of rooms in the Benz.
Mason residence have been secured for
immediate occupancy after Christmas.
This has nothing to do, however, with that
Thanksgiving dinner.

tisc, and when he found his goods were

novelties in endless description.

To-day the planet Venus makes her
transit over the suns face. Large sums
of money have been appropriated by
nearly all governments to aid in observ
ing the phenomenon, as upon it is to be
based anew the reckoning of solar dis
lance. Get out your smoked glass, and
you will see a tiny black dot passing over
the face of the sun. The march begins at
