The tide of immigration has
already commenced and is much
earlier than last spring. The influx
Of settlers last spring was remarkable
but the indications now are that the
rush this season will greatly exceed
anything ever known.
Fred Douglas marriage has
started a new craze which will
probably have an indefinite run. The
intermarrying of white and black is
now considered popular and several
such marriages have taken place
since Freddie went and did it.
AT Port Jervls the Christian
Temperance Union give public
dances in tho Methodist church for
the benefit of the society. The Good
Templars of Kimball would not do
such a thing. They meet in the church
and do nothing worse than play Ruth
and Jacob.
S. S. Merrill, Supt. of the G.. M. &
St. p, asserts that 1000 cars have
been ordered for the spring traffic
over the !. d ID. division, and that
the passenger travel will be SO great
that it will be impossible to supply
sufficient coaches, without seriously
affecting the eastern division, to ac-
commodate the tide of travel for the
west.

would Ike to marry a woman that
draws her rations.

1t is to be hoped that mono of our
young people who received comic
valentines will be worked up to such
a pitch as to do az p couple of
Phliadelphians did. Two women

them. In q fight which ensued,
one fred a revolver, the ball penetra-
ting the other'sneck.
A little comhativeness was dis
played by II Of our citizens last

agent. He was arrested, taken before
Justice Ryan and fined $500 and
costs.
