RILED BY RITTER.
The War OF Words Two Promi-
nent Republicans INDUCED
in Yesterday.

Col. Dick Ritter was on his ear yester-
day, Notwithstanding election day is near
at hand.
The colonel is said to be "slugger," but
Yesterdays developments do not show that
such is the ase.
During the last campaign Col. Ritter
was president of tine Garfield CLUB, and in
such capacity all bills against the cluls
passed through his hands.
One of the gentlemen patrOnized by the
club was Mr.. j. G. Psrmerlee, the Main
street merchsnt, who furnished drum and
oil for the torches. At the close of the
campaign he presented his bill for the
goods furnished, and all but $11 OF the
amornt was paid. Since then Mr.. Par
merlee has been unable to collect what was
due him, and in order to indem :
nify himself against loss, he took
possession of the drum aud still holds it.
Yesterday afternoon Col. Ritter and DIR.
Middleton called at. Parmerlee's store AMI
made demand for the drums. 1t was re-
fused until TIE money still due was forth
coming and this led to an angry discussion :.
during which Ritter drew his cane and
threatened to strike Parmerlee.
A counter stood between them, and thus
the blow was averted. AT this stage Par
merlee picked up a piece of pine, probAr-;
bly, six feet long and an inch in diamet&r,.
and assumed the aggressive, when Ritter
let his cane descend and awaited results. I
He had not long to wait, however for Par
merleec ame from behind the counter ands
ordered the irate colonel to leave the store,
which he did without a second bidding.
The loud talk in which both gentlemen
INDUCED was the means of attracting q
large crowd on the opposite side Of the
street, and for period they expected tCs
see blood flow freely. but when they learned
that Ritter was one of the parties they
quietly retired, merely remarking, " It's alT
wind, and there is no danger OF anybody
being hurt" Il
Mr.. Parmerlee still has the dunn in his
possession, and it is safe to say he will rel
tain it until somebody pays him $l1. -

And now that old winter has passed
away, and spring, gentle spring, has come
like beautiful vision. and the air is
freighted with the nectarous breath of the

cured last winter, and the ice man is Just
beginning to blossom timidly, (but in
about six weeks he will come forth in all
his majesty and compel you TO give him an

cast off clothes to fit him, and that makes
him sad.
Never again i'm life will he feel so mean
as when he steps befor his companions in a
pair OF trowsers and jacket made of his
fathers drab vest, assisted by portions of a
sack coat of different tint. II the pieces
were red or purple, the boy would look as
though he had captured Joseph's coat of
many colors. How cautiously he treads
with beating heart and aching soul to
where his companions are playing marbles,
and how they stop the game at its most ex-
citing part and hurl at him great volleys
of slang phraseology rs, picked when they
were green" eft him to soon," and other
prehistoric compliments, which make his
young spirit eroan with an unutterable
woe.
All these things remind us forcibly that
B. Spring is here, or fas approaching.
Speaking of spring. allow US to casu-
ally and insinuatingly remind you tina,

Texas Small Farms.

From the Cincinnati Times Star.
The movement on foot in Texas to nut an
end to the absorption OF small farms into large
ones is commendable. Big farms are an OBJ
struction to the growth of country and the
increase of population. The farmers of Har-
rison county, Texas, it is said, propose to
divide their large plantations into small
farms, and to offer them 10 actual settlers on
the installment plan, ''believing such action
will soon convert idle lands into profitable
farms and NIL up the country with thrifty tax
payers" 1t will be for the general interes,
if the reform started in the Lone Star State
shall spread throughout the entire West.
