Something abOut Sheen.


Last week, AT the invitation of :. A.
Sawyer, we visited Mr.. Truesdale's
sheep ranch, located over ;he line in
Davis county. Tnlsrauch has quite Il
reputation on account of its superior
advantages for stock, and for new
state like Kansas ii is entitled To con-
sideration for its age, the house in
which We lodged having beel built Is
years ago, the second house erected on
Mcdowell Creek. The creek furnish
ts an abundance OF pure water and is
thlckiy bordered with trees, the grove
near the house being very fine.
Geo. Tuesdale drove up 900 high
grade sheep from New Mexico about
three years ago, and since then this
has been his headquarters. Last
spring Mr. Rigney, "a wealthy resident
al Canada, purchased this ranch and
more land adjoining, over go acres in
all, for his son, who later purchased
the crop OF this seasons lamb-7OO

spring Mr.. True-dale will move the

Call and See Him.

Mr.. J. W. Plunkett {known to his
many friends as Pomp), first clerk at
L. Phillips Star Clothing House. is
the most experienced salesman Of his
age in this part of the State, and has
remained longer with one firm than
most any clerk We know, which
speaks well for him in every p~articu-
lar. Pomp has a large acquaintance
all over Audrain and adjoining coun-
ties, being able to call nearly every
customer who comes into the store by
name, which goes q long ways with
most of the patrons of any store. He
not only thoroughly understands all
about the quality of every line OF
goods, but he will not m~isrepresent
them. He is fully aware of the fact
that to retain q mans custom you
must be not only polite and accom-
modating. but must be fair in price
and representation. This is n OF
the secrets of his success. Always
ambitious, he takes a pride in his bus
mess and would be pleased to have
all his old friends, and as many new
ones as feel inclined to call on hin
during 1884. No trouble to sho"
goods. He promises, if you VII
call, he will thoroughly convince yor
that it will be money in your pocket
Whether you wish to buy or not,
when in town, call and make your
self at home.

There are some things of which
Mexico may well be proud, among
them the character and number of
the members of the medical profess
sion within her borders. No city of
equal size has better or more skillful
physicians. AT the head and front
of all her physicians, in amount of
business done-rare and critical cases
treated-ss well as. uniformity of
success attained, in our judgment,
stands DIR. w. c. Pipino. Although
young III years, he is learned and
progressive in his profession, ripe in
experience, closely attentive to his
business, with great kindness and
liberality of heart his success is as
sured, without fictitious aids.

No MarryIng Over There,

The "fog-horn," yesterday, in
speaking of Miss Hesser, who died
from the effect of rough on rats last
Monday, IN very pathetic tones, says
Miss Hesser will nave the sympathy. of
many friends in her disappointment and
deep chagrin, but should rejoice rather
than sorrow that she has been 80 fortu-
nate as to escape an alliance with q fell
low SO destitute of manhood, and who
possessed so little of promise to her fu-
ture happiness.
Wonder where the ''fog-horn"
thinks Miss Hesser went when she
died that she will have "sympathy i,
disappointment, chagrin," &c, &c.

SENSATION.
"No Paper for the Moneyless Man. "

We see by the ''fog-horn'' that Jim
Eubanks and his wife have had q
fight. The Latetigencer claims to be
opposed to publishing sensations, es-
pecially trouble in families. 1t never
lets an opportunity pass TO parade
the self-evident fact that it is San
eminently respectable and pure pa
per-" ESQ IS every sheet with nothing
in it.) Why, then, does it parade in
a column article the private fuss Jim
Eubanks had with his wife? Other
men IN Mexico have had more and
louder family troubles than Jim, and
the ''fog-horn'' never thought OF say
ing a word. Can it be that because
Jim is a poor man and considered te
be without influence and friends, thai
bis ssprivate troubles" are to be rolled
under the tongue of this ''eminently
respectable paper" as scandal?
