ed allowing the man who sits nearest
to the boy that whistles at the opera
house, to throttle him and carry him
out it would be great relief.
A score or more of those who are
fond of dancing, cleared the floor after
the performance last Saturday even
ing, and kept time to the music fur
nished by the Moran orchestra, for an
hour or two.
We dropped into Bartel's harness
shop, on the west side, the other day
to get an "ad," but found the proprie-
tor too busy to write one. He has
three men at work preparing for the
spring trade in harness that he is sure
| will be immense.

Indiana, a cousin of w. A. Cummings,
,arrived in the city the first of the
week. He will take charge of the
Beadle farm, on Rock creek, and will
give his attention largely to the rails
pg of fine stock.
We called upon our old friend J. NJ.
Smyth, at lola, last Monday. He is
dead in love" with that little city,
and took great pleasure in escorting
us around town. We took in the car
rage and novelty works, and were
surprised at the capacity of these in
situations. We will have more to say
of these enterprises when the proprie-
tors pay US for advertising them.-

Another business change is chron-
'icled this week, Mr.. Sussmilch having
sold his hardware and harness store to
his father-in-law, Mr.. Fletcher, of
Dixon, III. Mr.. Fletcher is gentle
man of large means, and a sound, en-
ergetic business man, such as We are
glad to see come among US. He is
much pleased with our town and SO
much of the country as he has seen,
and will, We understand, eject fine
business house as soon as spring opens.
He will probably build residence al
80, and invest in other real estate here.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. Suss-
milch will be retained as manager of
the business for a while at least, and
will probably remain among US some
time.
DR.. Fulton, of Uniontown, WAS in
the city Monday in behalf Of the
small pox sufferers in the southeast
part of the county. Acting on his
the mayor called
special meeting of the council and it |
was determined to send a messenger
into the infected district to learn the !
exact condition OF matters there and TO |
make what arrangements might be !
needed for the proper care of the pa
tents. Accordingly Mr.. Ed. Miner,
at the request Of the council, rode out
there the following morning. On his |
return he reported eight cases of small
pox in the neighborhood all of whom
are at present afforded all the care nee
essary. He also reports that great
care is being taken to circumscribe the
the disease, so that there is little dam
ger Of its spreading further. In order
to be certain that the victims Of the
scourze shall want for nothing the
council have further decided to send q
into the neighborhocd
every two or three days to see that
every thing possible is done TO alleviate
the distress; q decision which will no
doubt be gladly sustained by our citi-
zens. DR.. Fulton also deserves much
credit for mis- humane efforts in behalf
Of these people, as it is largely due to
his precautionary measures that the
scourge has been prevented from
spreading.
