present which very often is of great
value. The trade at this establishment is
so immense that it is necessary to replen-

Girls on q Lark

A gentleman named Farley, of Hamp-
ton This county, informs us that on last
Sunday evening while the people were
attending Children's day service in the
church there, a young man unhitched a
team belonging to Mr.. s. H. Ensign
The young women got into the wagon and
started for ride The team broke into a
run, and turning towards home, at Mrs
Hopgood's corner, upset the wagon,
throwing the girls some twelve feet
against the fence. The team ran a short
distance, landed in q ditch and stopped.
Mr.. A. K Head, hearing, the crash, went
to offer assistance to the girls, when three
of them run, but the other said she was
hurt and could not, the others calling
sharply for her to come anyway, and she
hobbled off as best she could. Who the
perpetrators were is not positively known,
but circumstances point to parties who
were in the neighborhood just before the
team was unhitched.

A Ditch.

For long time the citizens living on
Ninth street between Fifth and Sixth
avenues have felt that they needed a
ditch, or something put down to carry off
the vast amount of surplus water that
accumulates there when it rains. Last
week the city council came to the conclu-
sion to give them the tiling necessary to
be put down, and sent ten workmen there
to put the tile in. The workmen, so the
people of that vicinity allege, are incom-
petent, for they are placing the tile in as
though they expected the water to run up
hill. They are going. to raise a big kick if
some other plan is not pursued and tie
tile put in right

tisement 'other papers please copy" Do

Last evening number of our very best
young people got together as per pro-
gramme, arranged last week, and went
out to Milan, and surprised Miss Ella
Osborne. That is to say they went out
to surprise Miss Ella, but when they
arrived there they found the tables turned,
for the young hostess had heard that the
party was coming and was prepared to
receive them. With her usual naive
manner Miss Osborne made every one feel
at home" and it was but short time
until everyone was enjoying him and her
self; some at music, other in games, con
versation, etc. At a late hour refresh
ments were partaken of, and the young
people departed for home. vowing that
they had never spent a more pleasant
evening.

Pull Down the Blinds.

Had you been at the Jail building
about half past one o'clock this afternoon
you could have witnessed regular kissing
matine which took place in an upper
chamber of boarding house which was
near by. The window was open, and the
two couples, who were hugging aud kiss,
ing each other in the room were in full
sight of the street. About a dozen per-
sons or more witnessed the lip tickling
and soul stirring scene. Every time one
of the fellows in the room would kiss his
girl, the crowd would either groan or yell
out "Oh, DON'T don't" The couple are
both from the country, hence their verdant
actions

quite as many building being built as they
thought there would be in the spring.
