IT Is A common saving that, to be
out of fashion, one may as well be out
of the world. In this connection we
will simply state, for the benefit of
our lady friends, that in order to keep
well up with the fashions, they would
do well to call and see thpH fine assort-
meut of spring and samer goods
Miss L. Walshe has Just received,
among which can be found hats, for
dress or picnic purposes, trimmings of
all kinds, etc. Be sure aud pay her a
visit, for we know that she will not let
YOU leave dissatisfied.

We WERE shown specimen of
tobacco seed, taken from a tobacco
stalk grown on Mr.. D. S. A. Hartman $
place, at the outskirts of town. 1t is
evident, from the sample shown us,
that tobacco can be successfully and
proftably raised in this parish. We
tender him our thanks for mess of
fine new Irish potatoes. When such
men as Mr.. Hartman settle in country
they never find the lands too poor to
make living; but, instead, they can
always earn more than an ordinary
existance, and be of some service to
the section they inhabit.

We ARE now having beautiful moon
light nights, and the propriety and
feasibility of having grand picnic,
and a moonlight excursion on the
came day, on the lake, has been sug-
gested. "Barcus is willing,p and no
doubt amusements Of this kind, at this
season, would be very enjoyable. Next
Friday, as it is Good Friday, would
probably be good fry-day. If it is
epncluded to have picnic and moon
light excursion, the matter should be
nttended to at once. Capt. Hawkins
informs US that he can have the steamer
Nettic and a barge, after due notice,
put in proper trim for tue occasion /;
and if accompanied by the two brass
bands, the young folks can have a fine

The Milk in the CocOaHrt

We understand that letter
has been received by Cornish
man on Ruby Hill from a prom
inent Corn ishman in Esmeralda
county, during the last few days,
in which Hon. {. &. Powning,
our nominee for Congress, is
handled without gloves. Fer
genuine abuse this letter takes
the cookie.
The object OF the writer Will
not be wondered at when we
state that he is promised the
Office of private secretary to j.
w. Adams in case that gentle
man is elected to the Office of
Governor of Nevada. OF course
everybody knows that between
Mr.. Adams and Congressman
Cassidy there is ''fellow feel
ing" and that makes us won
drous kind. Eureka Leader.
The writer Of the letter is a
fraud if he claims to be the
prospective private secretary of
Mr.. Adams. Mr.. Garrard,
Warden of the Penitentiary,
will occupy this post if Mr..
Adams is elected, and it is
hardly to be supposed that Mr..
Adams would go round the
country promising ether people
the same responsible position.
If he is doing SO, those who
have been led to believe that
they are the "coming men" had
better rise up and compare
notes.

The Meeting Tonight.

This evening there will be a
meeting at the Opera House,
and George Cassidy, Democratic
nominee for Congress, together
with Jewett Adams, the Guber-
material nominee, will speak
presumably on the live issues OF
the day. While Mr.. Cassidy is
addressing the people, it is to
be hoped that he will tell his
constituents how he stands on
the Regain bill. No State in the
American Union 50 badly needs
the relief which will be afforded
by the passage of this bill, and
not only Mr.. Cassidy's con:titu-
ents, but every man who will
attend the meeting this evening
would like to hear from Mr..
Cassidy on this live and impOr-
tant issue. 1t would interest
them to hear him tell what he
will do if elected and what he
has done in the past on this bill.
While Mr.. Adams is on his feet
it will be pertinent for the AP-
PEAL and everybody else in fact
to enquire of him what he pro-
poses to do in relation to the
taxation of the mining proper
ties of the Comstsck, also ex-
plain his views OH the currency
question and define his position
on the question Of the public
schools. These are important
matters and no man can be
elected Governor of Nevada who
has not we'll defined views Oh
these issues, coupled with abil-
ity to express them.
