cents per pound in the saddle. Steaks at 10
cents. One wagon last Monday came to

Cross-bars have not yet been put in the
windows of the second story of the school
house. We trust the Directors NAV not have
cause to regret their remissness in this
matter.
We have "been around little" during the
past three weeks, and of all the towns we
have visited in that time VIC have not seen
one brighter, prettier or cleaner than our
own little city.

Paul GARNER, Merchant Tailor and Cloth :
Ter, has removed int his new building late
lv occupied by Schneider's jewelry store. He

new quarters.

Gated in Carriers old clothing store. The
building made vacant by these removals will
be occupied by Herman Davis, who is going
TO open an oyster saloon and restaurant

Some person shot and killed j. Grand
homme's white COW last SATURDAY. night. 1t
was despicable act, and we are sorry that
the offender has 50 far escaped the punish
.rnent he deserves. We heard the pistol
shots, but the firing of revolvers in the night
has become so common that we attached no
Importance to the matter. We suggest that
ihe officials pay a little more attention to
such violations of law, and "iay" for the
guilty parties. 4 few arrests will exercise
wonderfully good effect.
The fall term of Circuit Court began Mon
day morning-Judge Thomas and the law
yers, generally, having come down the night
before. MesSrs. Carter, Clardy, Dining,
Yancey, and Jordan, we see, are here from
the adjoining counties, while of course the
local bar is fully represented. Several inI-
portant cases-the Ed. Thomas case, espec-
isliy-will come up for adjudication. The
docket is not very long, but there is no tell
ing how much time it will take to dispose OF
1t. 1t is probable, however, the whole week
at least will be taken up.
A strange man was found in the woods east
of town one day last week, by some boys
who were ont hunting. He was about max
cd, and claimed that he had come from st.
Louis to the Pennington Fair; that he had
zone into the woods and laid down for
sleep, first taking off his clothes and making
a pillow Of them. When he awoke he went
to a stream near by for = drink, and could
no, find his way back to his clothes. The
bows brought the man to town, gave him
enough garmeats to decently clothe him,
and turned him over to the county authori-
ties. who cared for him until he received
from home enough funds to take him to st.
Louis,
We inadvertently failed to mention the
arrival i'm Ironton Of Cod. Burnside and his
family, who new occupy the elegant resi-
dence of Mrs. Metcalfe on Shepherd street
This cultured family is a decided acquisition
tn the society of our beautiful little city, and
will he extended a warm welcome. They
come from beautiful home i'm the old Key
stone State; but rs they are now In a LOCALITY
where all Is delight, aud "'where every pros
noe, p,ea.es, !" we are sure the change will be
70 them an agreeable one. Miss Burnside Is
unite an accomplished artist, and We are
sure she could not have selected spot on
rho continent where she could ind more
charming objects awaiting her gifted brush
and pencil.
