WITH real fraternal feeling,
worthy of imitation, the Darlington
Republican expresses itself thus;
GAS long as a democrat will be
appointed, we hope that Bro. Geo,
Crawford, of the Iowa County
Democrat, will get the Min eral
Point post-office. He is one of the
best men in Iowa county, and if ap.
pointed, will fill the office with
credit and ability. You have our
best wishes, George"
RE-EsTABLIsHED.-O course, it
is quite generally known by this
time that Simon ID. Lanyon has re-
established himself in the meat mar
ket business at the old stand foot of
High Street, YET tits thought to be
well enough to call everybody's at
tention to the fact. His constant
aim will be to keep on supply the
choicest meats obtainable and to re-
tail the same at the lowest possible
margin. Poultry taken at the high
est market price.
Our photographing firm, Jenkins

branch gallery at Linden These

having trouble, it appears, in settling
with the contractors who has erected
and completed their new city hall,
and who still retain possession of it..

lectures, ETC., during the coming
winter; and suggests public meet

Look through Hanscom & Co.'s
stock for presents. Variety endless;
articles useful and attractive.

successful boom. If the female
portion of the congregation is young
and handsome, one hugging sociable
ought to be sufficient sum to can
Gel the church mortgage, pay the
minister six months salary in ad-
vance, purchase the winters supply
of fuel, and have $40 or 40 to pay
the expenses of getting fifty cents
to the heather.

JEHU. what wretched pieces Of
sidewalk there are in town. We
found one the other night when a
foot went through, the skin scraped
off for inches in length from the
shin bone and precious Republican
blood flowed freely. We weren't
drunk, either. To our knowledge
there are two others who have been
fioundering in the same hole 1t is
high time that persuasion should
give way to compulsion on this side
walk question, or the city stands a
chance of being bankrupt by paying
damage arising therefrom.
