BuLL1oNvnLE AND pANAcA DOTS

One of the beautiful spectacles in life
is Panaca young lady trying to skate
backward. Her motions resemble love.
poem.
Since the Bullionv.ile furnace shut
down the town has relapsed into its for
mer quietness, and all it requires now is
large sized shroud to bury her out of
sight. Hope citizens of adjoining camps
will literally subscribe toward the same.
The marriage that was to take place
last week in Bullionville between Miss
Dead Beat, the dusky Piute maiden, and
the belle of the Piute tribe, and Sam
Lung, one of Denis Kearney's moon-eyed
lepers, was unfortunately postponed at
the last moment through the drunkness
of the officiating clergyman-Cock-eye
Charley of Arizona. 4
In anticipation of war with the
United States the good brethren of Panaca
are contemplating the erection of breast
works and other military preparations
OF. warlike nature around the little
burg, and if we are correctly informed
have sent to Denmark for corps of en-
gineers to superintend the erection of the
same. Look out, Uncle Sam, or there
won't be stripes enough left on your
breaches to make flag with if We Pa
nacans get after you.
At the skating ground, close to Panaca,
on Sunday last, several persons put on
their skates for the first time, and by doing
so made plenty of fun for the lockers on,
and tested the hardness of the ice to
their fullest satisfaction. There was
some very fine skating done by some of
the ladies of Bullionville and Panaca.
Miss Jennette Findley, of the latter place,
carried off the palm as graceful and
artistic skater, while Mr.. Frank Godbe
of Bullionville left his gentlemen COM
petitors far in the rear.
A few nights ago crowd of the young
brethren of Panaca repaired to the resi-
dence of newly married couple of the
village, with drums and flies and other
adjuncts necessary to serenade party.
After remaining in front of the house for
four long hours with the mercury two
degrees below zero, the bashful young
husband was finally prevailed upon to
make his appearance, and did so with a
jug of home made beer, wherewith to
quench their thirst.
There has been several poker games
running at Bullionville during the past
week, and might have been in operation
yet if gentlemanly young sport from
Phoebe had mot swooped down ON the
boys-as vulture does on his prey
and cleaned the last mother son of them
out Of their hard earnings. Heretofore
we were always at loss to account for
the lavish display of wealth made by
| some Piochers; but not now.
Some time ago the teacher of the Pa
naca school, who by the way is late
importation from Utah, and on whose
tongue the brogue of Old England is yet
thick, beat one of his little scholars on a
slight provocation. The boys mother
interviewed the teacher next day and
gave him to understand that if he ever
whipped her boy again that she would
horsewhip him and afterwards report his
case to the board of School Trustees.
Who says that we have not brave women
in Lincoln county?
! We found out the other day, by q
married lady of Panaca, why it is that
the young men Of that village don't give
their young Bullionville acquaintance
an introduction to the girls when they
meet them at places of amusement. The
reason assigned by the lady is that the
Bullionville boys talk too much about
the girls after making their acquaintance
but something whispers in our ear thai
possibly the green-eyed monster ha.
something to do with it.
Charles Matthews gave his weddin!
dance Tuesday evening last at Socia
Hall, Panaca. 1t was a very pleasan
affair and everybody enjoyed themselve
and were happy, excepting one poo
BATCH, who went all the way to Pioch
for girl, and after bringing her to tn
the dance had her leave him for younge
and better looking chap. But such ar
the inconsistencies Of the fairer sex.
One of the young sports Of Bullionville
while riding at break-neck pace through
Panaca few nights since, came to grie
on the ice in front of a young ladys resi-
dence and had the laugh on him by tn
lady in question. But we are ungallan
enough to venture the assertion that tn
ice on which the young man came t
grief was no slipperier than some of tn
tickle danes of that village.
A sToRE-KEEpER shot basket at
canine the other day that had the impu

was not taken right, for the dog h
