The Fair.

The fair given by the ladies of the
Congregational church on last Monday
and Tuesday evenings was undoubtedly
the greatest success in the way Of a
legitimate church fair that has ever
taken place in the Hills. In using the
words legitimate fair, we e a fair at
which no games Of chance were INDUCED
In, and the business was confined to the
sale Of useful and ornamental articles at
reasonable figures. The hall was artist
ically decorated with pine bows and
evergreens arranged in stars, wreaths,
etc. The first thing to be encountered
IN entering the hall was the Fancy
table, which occupied the centre Of the
building and was presided over by Mrs
LaBarre, Sanders and Gilbert, with Mrs
Towner as cashier. OF these ladies one
could purchase everything one could
wish in the way of fancy articles, such
as lace c%olors, pin-cushiens, slipper cases
paper weights, and articles worked IN
mica too numerous to mention.
On the right as n entered the room
was the Flower-stand, beautifully ar
ranged of pine trees and bows and he
hind which were to be found Mrs
Flynn and Miss Bertha Smith, assisted
by two pretty and industrious little
flower girls, Miss Minnie West and Mis-,
Maud Wier, who were indefatigable ir
their efforts to dispose Of their bottom
hole and basket bouquets.
In the lower right hand corner Of the
room were situated the ice cream tables
which were well patronized, and ably
attended by Mrs. Butterfield, Crazy
Lewis, Kemmish, STANDARD and Feay
with Miss Jennie Page as cashier. Be.
tween the latter table and the flower
stand hung an elegant and beautiful
Afghan which was the admiration of all
and was finally purchased by Mr.. T. G
Woodbury. for $24.
The left hand corner at the entrance
was occupied by a confectionery booth
t~astefully drapped, and the sweet ant
toothsome articles had an additional
charm to both young and old by bein.
dealt out at the fair hands of Miss Grace
Sanders and Miss Carrie Towner.
Last but not least in the way of at
traction, judging by the crowd which
continually lowered round, came Rebec
cas- well, which was more liberia
than the Biblical one, as two fair Re
beccas in the persons of Miss Haiti,
LaBarre and Miss Eta Green, dresse,
in emblematic costumes, dispensed, no
water straight, but delicious ice col,
lemonade. Between this last stand an,
the n devoted to confectioneries hun
the log cabin quilt, a beauty, which wa
purchased by +. o. Burton for the SINAI
sum of 81, and +. o. is happy.
AT the foot of the hall hung the sill
quilt, made of all shades of that rio
fabric, rivaling in variety the coat tha
clothed the shoulders of Jacob, and q
such aesthetic beauty that L. G. Wood
bury became the purchaser at $3.50.
Taken all in all the display excelle
anything of the kind we have seen il
the Hills, and this was conceded by al
of the many from Deadwood and othe
towns in the Hills who visited the hal
and considering the times, the SUI
Melted, $22l. 90, is a large one.

CRUSHING A CITIZEN.

The proprietor of a Woodward
avenue store, says the Free Press,
which had been finely decorated in
honor Of the Knights of Pythias wss
at his door yesterday, when an old
mai lounged up and began:
"Such ignorance l never sa W in all
my lifei You see that man across there
the one with the white hat op:o"
yes"
We'll, he was having a good deal to
say, and 1 asked him who Pythias
was. Would you believe it he couldn't
answer M 2"
"C-couldn't he ?" stammered the
citizen.
"No. sir he couldn't. Think of such
Ignorance in this enlightened age.
When | told hun who Pythias was he
called me liar. Now want to prove
that I'm right. You come over and
tell HIM all about it,"
"But II can't leave"
Then lll bring him over here"
ono, you ueedn't-Pm busy"
Il See you are, but when a mar
,cails me a liar l want to prove that |
ain't. I'll have him over in n minute"
He hadn't crossed the street before
the merchant slid into the store and
hurried up stairs to keep put of sight
tor All hour, and it was only after be
was certain that the old man had de-
parted that he slipped down and con-
suited Webster's dictionary TO see il
he could fud out whether Pythias
was a town, a mau. or q temple OIL
a hill.

VICTORY ASSURED.
lErom the K. c. Times.l

The democratic nominee for congress
is proceeding in his canvass OF the DIS
trict in a plain, unostentatioHs, business
like way, and winning favorable opin-
ions from AL who see aud hear him.
The flourish of triumpets made by the
independent candidate, Immediately
following the announcement OF his
grievances as q basis of his proposed
canvass, has spent its ton days turce,
and the reaction has set in against him
and IN favor OF Mr.. Graves with such
volume and velocity that neither his
arts nor hia strength. can offset its in.
creasiDg momentum.
To use a scr,ptural figure, the n
digged deep his foundations and built
upon the rocks the other built upon the
sands, The work OF the latter is being
swept away by the political floods. Will.
in the hands Of tue young architect the
democratic structure expands its pro
portions aud gains strength every
day.

victory before the battle begins. His
plans perfected. his combinations COM
pleted, his ammunition chests full and
his guns all loaded. the battle becomes
simple work and the result Uniform

lie from boyhuod to the present time.
1t begins to transpire hat he has
brought into politics the same methods
he has always trusted and that they
are now rapidly tending to the same
results. Senator Vest knew whereof
he spoke when he passed his handsome
eu.ogy upon Mr.. Graves, and. like
Graves. he trusted implicitly the vindi-

The bossest snake story we ever
heard of has just come to light in

while a certain farmer was cleaning out
his ieuce corners, a huge rattie-snake
struck at him, but missed his intended

into the hoe-handle which the man helu

to write it, the handle was swollen to
such an extent that it bursted the eye Of
the hoe and split it into a thousand

said that he had been able to make bet

for $l7 a piece instead OF 1856, but that
the protective duty put on it so stimula'
ted production that where 100 looms for
the first three years were substantially
all that were required to produce all
the bunting wanted in the United
States. a year or two ago there were
$4,000 bunting looms running in this
country. The business was overdone,
and most OF the bunting factories failed,
and Butler would have failed. too. he
says, it he had not gone out OF the busi-
ness. Butler has the betterOf his pro.
