We acknowledge pleasant call from
Col. George II. Kimball. Of Gov. Stone.
man's staff The Colonel is aceompan-
led by his wife. whom he proposes to
leave here for some weeks, his own visit
being very brief one. He is the same
genial individual as Of yore. By the
way, there is story about George too
good to be lost. Some years ago. when
he was running for County Recorder ON
the Republican ticket land he came very
near being cleetsd) he had very violent
attack Of liver complaint. One Of his
political opponents, as like as not ex-
Sheriff William r. Rowland, informed
George that castor beans, carefully
chewed up and swallowed without condi-
ments, were sovereign specific for his
ailment. Forthwith the Colonel started
in ON castor beans and he never rested
until he had demolished handful Of
them. Within period OF four days his
weight was diminished just twenty
pounds. But he lived through the
ordeal. During the rest of that cam
paign the versatile candidate for County
Recorder went by the name OF CT sSor
Bean George. 1t is unnecessary that we
should assure our readers that he has no
special fondness for this story, though it
is highly creditable to his vitality The
man who could live through snch an ex-
perience is made Of the true stuff.

piled with Christmas beef Of the finest
and fatiest description They have stall
fed forty fine steers on purpose for
Christmas beef and have the best in the

quarters Of fat beef at their place Of bu-
siness, which is crowded with purchasers
day and night.
