..ocAL INTELLIGENCE,

item, and we call the especial attention
of the delegates to the county conven-
tions that will soon be held in Phoebe to |
it, and it is hoped that they will read it
carefully and pay attention to its good |
advice, as the session of the next Leeisla. |
ture will be an important one. The item
il taken from the Walker Lake Bulletin. |
We quote: ''We want good men for the
Assembly. The next session Of the Leg.
stature will have much important bust.
ness to attend to, and the best men
should be selected as representative of the |
county. 1t is not an office to be thrown
az a sop to disappointed candidates for
county office; it is an Office the claims of
the aspirant to which should be caref lly
considered, and men should be placed in
nomination in whose knowledge and in.
tcgrty the people can rely"
A WHITE SNIPE. While down at Cul-
yerwell's milk ranch last Sunday we were
shown white shipc. This is the first
white bird of that kind we have seen.
There was quite flock OF these birds in
the swamp, and all were Of the ashen
color, with the exception of the one bird
mentioned When the birds flew, or
were on the ground, the white bird kept
near the center Of the flock. This is the
first white bird of the kind ever seen
there, and its appearance attr ,cted the
attention of all at the ranch. This bird
was as white as snow and Of same size
and shape as the other birds. The snipe
were of the small species, commonly
called "Butter-snipe" i'll the Mississippi
Valley.
For COUNTY RECORDER. S. D. Smith
bounds into the political arena and an.
nounces that he is DESTROYS Of securing
slice of the political pie, and he wants
the piece with the word Recorder
branded on it, and that the Democratic
County Convention need not be at all
backward in dishipg it out to him A.
to sam, why, everybody knows hin-the
girls, the boys and all the little children
OF the town. He has been Deputy Sheriff
of Lincoln county for the last three years
and Is, as all know, in every way qualified
to Gil the position he seeks.
THE quail is getting numerous between
Phoebe and the Bristol divide. There have
been a number Of covic, seen between
these points lately. This is likely caused
by the number of live quail brought here
winter before last, most of which made
their escape from coops. Bob Fulks, I'M
Intentionally, contributed about 100 birds
to the propagation of quail in this section.
Bob did a good deed and whether he
intended doing 50 or not, he is entitled to
the thanks OF the pot.huntevs.
IT does appear ludicrous in man to
walk up to huckster's wagon, poke his
hand in and take out an apple, wipe the
fruit on the seat OF his pantaloons, then
eat it. With the exception of taking the
apple ont of the wagon, there is nothing
wrong in the act, but it doesn't look
pretty, and we believe that the fruit
would taste just as sweet il it was wiped
on some other part of a mans pantaloons.
BLOWN UP.--In the Meadow Valley
mine, last Monday morning, while en-.
gagged in picking out hole that refused
to tire, David Miller, miner, was blown
up. Miller's face was pretty thoroughly
filed with gravel. and his left hand is
badly torn. Fortunately his eyes es.
capped injury and no bones were hurt.
The flesh is badly torn, but Miller will
recover.
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. The Demo.
Gratis will hold their primaries on Mon.
day next. The polls in Phoebe will be at
Lynch's corner, and will be opened from
O'Clock i'll the afternoon till half-past
Go'clock, instead of 6, as published last
Saturday.
THE schools were opened on Monday.
Nearly all the children in town were in
prompt attendance the first day. We
have observed that in Phoebe, and it is
the only place, too that most OF the chill
dren like to attend school.
Some sort of disease has made it ap
pearance among the calves in Meadow
Valley Wash, several OF them having
lately died from the effects of it. Tn,
settlers are Of the opinion that it is thu
blackleg.
The boyelder trees now wear De
cember appearance. This is occasioned BY
the worms killing all the leaves. TIL,
cottonwood and locust trees having no
been troubled by the worms retain the
foliage.
THE Republicans of this county vii
hold their primaries on the 22l instant
and the County Convention will be he'll
