DEPARTED. DIR. George C. Mathews
left us Wednesday morning for his new
home in Florida. 1t is with regret that
we note his departure. In the practice
OF medicine and surgery he has always

Mathews among its members. While
envylng those among whom he is to make
his future home, we hope and trust that
he will always have the success which he
so richly deserves, and which. we feel, he
cannot fail to attain. There are some

On such occasions there are always a lot

are brought into Phoebe to vote, who
have no vote, yet they vote, and they
have about as much regard for their oaths
as politician has for his promises. We
would suggest, to all who bring these
low, degraded wretches to town, that it
Is nothing more than right and just for
them to have the men conveyed out of
town after having finished with them,
instead of permitting them to lay around
and get out as best they may, or else
have them killed and thrown down
some water.closet, an appropriate re.
ceptacle for all such foul trash.
For SENAToR.-Our old townsman E..
F. Morton, SHES his caster into the Sen.
atorial ring and declares himself candi-
tate for Senator, subject to the decision
Of the Republican County Convention.
MIR. Morton, as the public is well aware,
is thoroughly posted on the affairs of the
county, having filed the position Of
County Commissioner for four years, and
is man suitable in every way to fill the
position he seeks. He is man who will
not permit himself to be pulled around
by the nose in the Senate chamber by the
hirelings of the monopolists.
A VEGETABLE CURIOSITY. One of the
greatest vegetable curiosities in existence,
says the Reno Journal, is at Thyes & Co.'S
saloon. 1t is potato vine filed with
well developed potatoes, which grew out

toes. They differ from the tubers which
grow under ground, according to estab-
Ilshed rule, by bearing slight green
tinge. The probabilities are they would
not make very healthy food.

they may have to amputate the injured

MAIL is scarce article in this section.
Owing o mistake the mail to arrive
Thursday evening by way of Eureka was
not sent out from that place, and about
half the Salt Lake mail arrived that

Mosr Of the Day mine boys at Royal
City came into town during the week. A
host Of them went down to Panaca, armed
with scrubbing. brushes, and are now en-.
gagged in wearing of the mining dirt and
eating fruit. The boys need little rest
aud recreation.
THE mail coming up from Arizona must
have been robbed. A couple Of letters
received in town, over the Mineral Park
route, had been opened, and on the end
Of the envelopes was written, "Opened
