BRISTOL ITEMS.
Our Italian citizens are spilling the
claret for Messr House & Outlet.

"mucho calientie, as the MeXicaus say.
Neighboring stock men are busily en-.
gagged looking up the innocent maverick.
Johnny Quinn shut up house on Fri
day and took the afternoon stage for
Taylor.
For Mixed candy, choice bit of the
weed or fancy toilet articles, call at the
postoffice store.
Mr. Kelsey, assayer for the Day Com.
pany, intends bringing his family here
from Salt Lake City.
There are some 201 men employed at
Taylor, and prosperity seems to shed its
golden rays on that camp.
Messrs. Wyman and Eddy have estab.
lished dairy at the old mill. above
town, and are prepared to sell milk very
reasonably.
The RECORD man need not he surprised
if he should hear Of one of his old Bristol
friends j'ining the grand army Of bene.
diets before many moons.
The Pioneer Hotel is now spreading as
fine table as can be found in Bri ,tol.
Travellers will find it to the benefit of the
inner man" to stop at that hotel while
visiting our town.
MIR. Guild, the gentleman who lately
arrived here from the East to fill the ca.
pacity of receiver at the furnace, has been
laid up for some weeks with inHamatory
rheumatism of very painful nature.
Our boarding mistress will not purchase
an ounce Of green truck, although we
are starving for some. The boarders at
this lady's establishment are so green
looking that she considers that sufficient. |
Nick Miller has surely been metamor.
phosed during the past week for about
that time he looked like Meadow Val.
ley granger just fresh from the lucern
patches of the Wash, while now he re-.
sembles very much person of that name

Dan McPhail, young Hercules of this
camp, and who is Lake Superior miner,

tial. A smile properly given to the latter
rakish youth will 60 long way in secur.

Our postmistress received letter of
inquiry during the week from the Post.
master General, as to the necessity Of a
tri.weekly mail between here and Ward,
also between here and Phoebe. The gen.
tleman quite evidently seems to think
that one mail week might be sufficient
between here and Phoebe. The lady en-.
lightened him, however, as to the neces.
sity of tri.weekly mail, showing by her
cancellation list that IA large amount OF
mail matter passes through this office in
transit to both places.
Why it is that our hotels don't pur-
chase vegetables, is conundrum that
We are unable to solve. It surely is not

the large boilers at the furnace came near

a hot fire undernea h, was making the

fortunately, however. for all those pres.
