the ditch necessitates this course.

Guy. X. Piatt, city editor of the Helena
Independent, has broke out in rhyme again
in recording local events. Mr.. Piatt was
''X O'Clock" OF the NEW NoRrH-WEsr some
years ago, when his rythmical letters were
Justly esteemed the brightest that had ever
appeared In the Territory, and his identity
was as great . mystery as that Of "Junius."
We are sorry his talents have been lost to
1 this paper, but take pleasure in saying to
readers of our contemporary that there will
always be found something worth reading in
I Piatt's verse.

entire stock of groceries, good will, ETC., In
| the former place. An inventory is being Ia
/ ken now, and the transfer is to take place
| Oct 31st. We are pleased to note that the
\ parties selling have made enough to comfort
\ ably retire on, and trust their successors may
4 do as well.
1 Among the multiplicity of crimes and vsri-
atoms of cussedness that the editor Of this
paper has been accused of and cursed for in
Hhe past seventeen years, we do not recollect
that 1t has ever been alleged that he went
back on any good man because he was short
| Of shekels. But one of the typical old timers,
constitutionally hard up when 1t comes to
p aging for q newspaper, set 1t pretty deep
the other day when he said: mills, owe
| sayou for four years on the NEW NORTH
sfwRsT. ! get so blank mad sometimes when
sT read 1t that I u.roo it away. But I've
s'taken the paper ever since 1t was published,
| Sand I'm going to take IL all the same as long
"as live, If never pay you blank cent
This kind Of talk Is nice for . tafy pulling,
but 1t don't pay expense bills. -rE
