Junction City & Andersonville stage
line, was in town this week, on his reg
ular quarterly business trip. He left
Monday for Junction City, and will
leave there for his home at mdepend-
ence, Mo, in a few days. Mr. W. has
many friends in Maiden and vicinity,
and he says "feels at home among US"
We wish him a pleasant and profitable
trip on his eastern journey.
Sunday afternoon Cy Eaton laid
piece of coal in the window Of one Of
our saloons while he took part in game
Of pool, and at its completion picked
up the product of Montana's soil for
future examination, when he dropped
it quicker than an editor would his
moor relation. "J-s amt it hot"
exclaimed Cv. His friends thought
for n moment that the rays Of Septem-
Der sun had ignited the coal so fine was
it, fibre, but not SO, Cy's thumb had
come in contact with the business end
of humble bee.
The editors of the Argus return their
thanks to subscriber for a mess of
sweet corn. the effects OF which are
visible in the honeyed editorials which
appear in the same issue. We regret
to learn. however, that our old friends
Fell and NrOOman, have come down to
living on corn. Porterhouse steak and
fried potatoes were none too good for
them when they lived in Billings
? Herald.
"Ah, positively" How your mouths
do water for some delicious sweet corn.
We are glad our lot is not east in a
valley that can raise nothing but rattle
snakes and HI. Porterhouse steak
, and fried potatoes are common fodder
with us. Antelope on toast-life size
stuffed buiialo-with the horns of and
scrambled elk, are some Of the delicate
dishes that are set before us in Maiden
