of this city. A large sized one attract
ed especial attention, it was wild prai-
RE landscape, over which, two horses
were plunging ing their mad career,
urged on by the rolling of murky storm
clouds sweeping across the horizon.
Another picturesque landscape of river,
mountains and castles, was appropriate
" called ''BIngen on the Rhine, while
there were several other gems of smaller
size. There are several good artists in
the county and next year it is to be
hoped that there viii be an extensive ex-
hibition in this class,
; Pln-cushions, embroideries, crochet
work, tides. mats jeweIl-eases and ma
ny other gaudy trinkets and fineries be-
decked the southwest corner of floral
hall in such promiscuous exuberance,
that it is impossible for us to particular
ize, but the display was tasteful and bril-
liant to say the least.
Another display which appealed to
more senses than one, and which remid-
ed us of our bread and butter boyhood
days was the cullinery department.
There were large loaves of nice white
bread, which would have been almost
perfection if they had not shown their
self conceit by being so pu fled up; and
there were tempting eatables in fiat
round dishes, which, in printers par
lance, might have said, seat me, and
your form will be Pied" while similar
circular delicacies, covered with white
coatings and fancy candies, night with
equal consistency have urged s'place the
blne ribbon on me. and you take the
cake" The request of the tomato,
when it said ''mercy preserve US and
pickle us too, was here complied with
and the jar of pickles would have done
well enough had they not looked so sour,
but if the pickles were sour the preserves
were "iust two sweet ior any use.''
However, none of these could equal the
blood curdling disposition of the jelly
that sat near. Her elastic and flexible
qualities were perfectly transparent.
A half dozen punches of parsnips stand
ing in corner, said to the people while
passing ''ladies and gentlemen, for your
gaze and admiration, we can put six of
the finest root vegetables in MARKET
shut you cant potatoe" screamed q
squinty eyed little bulb lying near. At
this junctnre several flushed Sfaced and
pompous vegetables would quietly roll
over and languidly say gentlemen we
sheet" that" And then we were star
tied to hear two dozen little fellows yell
out at the top of their voices'sgentlemen
we're finer yet for we are twentY-four
carrots. Then big chap with frontal
like PhilGpsburg alderman,
to show his legal wit, pulled down the
corner of his eye, and said ''triends file
your allegations and when you haye
done III (s)qnash the pleadings." A
cabbage head near by became so jealous
of her neighbOring punsters that she
turned green with envy; while water
melon thinking that she had not been
sufficiently recognized land becoming
sore from several thumpings in imita-
tisn of few embryonic politicians, went
over to the greenback party.
Mrs. T. N. Jones, Mrs j. V. Close,
Mrs. Dallas Harmon and Mrs. D. L.
Smith, are entitled to great credit for
their assistance in fitting up floral hall,
and arranging the various exhibits dis
playing good taste as well as doing
much hard work.
Jim Clark and Lam formed a collision,
For a greenback and democrat fusion,
But Lam heard DER the trausom,
His tricks dished up handsome,
And he suddenly changed his conclusion.
By the way the boys in Saturdays
talked about states and ring
one would be led to believe
that there was a barrel possibility that
somebody had been setting up the pins
just little. Will Bosses Lam and Garrett
sonsten us in a little book what they
know about states and rings as seen
through Bro. Grubs specticles.
Lam tried to feed few fellows on
pretty thin fodder when he nominated
them against his slate candidates, just
to make it appear that it was not run
ming to suit him.
Father Weed thought that pretty thin
feed to catch as old a bird as him on.
Then there is that model dry goods
clerk and H. N. Boyd
don't we pity the poor unfortunates who
gets within his grip, yet he is compelled
to stand for sheriff, and that to when
Lam knew full well that he had no time
