Mr.. Jewett says that two men at the Occi.
dental hotel made trade: one traded old
Occidental stock for creamery stock. Mr..
Jewett says he does not know the value OF
creamery stock, but that the old Occidental
company played out some time ago.. Mr..
Mackey, OF Gypsum, says the Sunday. school
at the Stafford schoolhouse had festival
few evenings since and raised $50 10 finish
paying for the organ. This is one of the

time Frank Oliver has large photo
graph of his little boy who recently died,
that looks SO natural one almost imagines
he can hear his childish laugh, as when he

worth $40, 000, 900, and his rival, Pendleton,
is q man not so rich, but of unblemished |

paign than the character and brains of
dozen Pendletons. =. During the perform

the audience at the opera house with loud
laughter and applause Il do not think
that anyone ought 10 be blamed for doing
thing that is perfectly natural. Last Sun
day the wife of young attorney in this
city took a seat at the table at the fremont
and placed her baby in high chair. The
young gentleman Immediately leaned back
and crossed his feet over his plate. That is
a natural thing for 4 lawyers baby to do.

table: The most prominent feature is the
display of feet. =. Rev. J. ID. Hewitt preach
