The extreme hot weather Immediately
preceding, started several families to
changing their dwellings, probably un-
der the impression that it was the LIST
of May, that being the regular time for
moving in all large cities like ours.
Among those who changed their base
last week we note, Chris. Arthur, who
moved out on to the old homestead at
Muscalunge, Mr.. George Telleck taking
the house thus vacated, and the firm of
Whitehead & Morrison have moved into
the building on the corner opposite Me-
Coy's store, greatly to the satisfaction
of Mr.. McCoy--so he says, and he gave
me this item. Others are moving
farther; MI. Richard Pascoe has left
for the coal mines at Scranton, Kansas.
Miss Mary f. Morse and Mrs. Mills, left
for Fort Dodge, Iowa, Tuesday, and
Miss Ella Evans leaves for her home in
Maple Grove, Mimi, tomorrow.
We note Us visitors, Dick Mcdaniel,
and NJ, Griffin, from Chicago, visiting
with Dr. Hartford.
VIM. Patterson having sold out his
interest in Cassville to his partner, is
again at home.
Capt. Halls still prolongs his stay
with us. He is as firm Republican as
|
in the old times, and if any man wishes
to learn the effect of low tariff, or
none, upon both capital and labor, let
him interview Capt. Halls. He knows
whereof he speaks, having for many
years had superior opportunities for OBJ
serving and studying the effects of a
low or varying tariff. and he. has evil
IDENTIFY improved his opportunities.
The furnace has just blowed out,
after a five weeks run, the output of
lead being the largest for many years.
Mr.. Mccoy has, however. purchased
fifty thousand of mineral of Hathaway,
Wheeler & Co., at $3.50 per thousand,
which cleans up about all the mineral
out in this vicinity. The above firm
have still good prospect for more.
The skating rink was crowded last
Saturday night until a late hour. Your
correspondent viewed the fun for about
ten minutes, from what we thought was
q safe corner He has a confused re-
membrance of continuous whir-r-r,
whir-r-r, a bump, or a "'dull thud,
about every ten seconds, femenine
squeals, and masculine-well, interjec-
tions, Ill call them; dim vision of
flounces on the floor, and No. 9s in
the air (on masculine feet, of course, }
and then very successful effort of one
skater to stand on both ends at once;
and had to laugh-rather too loud, l
guess. | was there alone, with neither
wedding garment on or more neces-
sary ticket. So a disciple of Esculapius,
a successful repairer of bodies, who was
officiating as repairer of skates, rose up
before me with q pair OF skates in each
hand, and l speedily vanished. And
am not going back to any place where
fellow is not allowed to laugh at some
thing funny that may chance to ''turn
up" and keep on turning up. So,they
can get new reporter; this is my very
last. But we would like to ask why q
lady always falls so gracefully, and a
gentleman so awkwardly-so extremely
awkwardly; and why a lady who was
skate for four mortal hours, and then
be dragged home by her escort; and
why an old man of fifty-fiye who has
been wearing from one to four porous
| plasters at a time, to my certain knowl-
edge, for the last ten years, who in the
forenoon could hardly get out of his
buggy without help, could run pair OF
roller skates as nimbly as young man
of twenty. Throw physic to the dogs, y
| take roller skates in large doses, for
there is evidently life and health in
them, and certainly lots of fun. So
endeth the chapter on skates.
We note n visit from j. Rockefeller
and wife, of Cassville; also of MIR.
Henry Webster, of the same place, who
came out to make arrangements to I'M
cover ''lead" on which he got items
.hirty years ago. All old miners have
one or more such fortunes reserved.
The matrimonial fever has again
broken out, two weddings being called
for Wednesday, the 18th
Our popular Register of Deeds re-
turned from trip to the river laden
with ducks, giving us call on his way
| back.
| We regret to learn that Nick Ames,
or some other imbecile, has returned to
Lancaster. We have been exempt from
such visitations for several months.
