1t must have been cold day |
in Chicaro when Blaine and Logan
were nominated. The cold wave
reached here Tuesday morning,
when oyercoats and fires were
brought into requisiiion. When
Tilden is nominated we shall look
for more propitious weather.
Josie Garlick has the finest line
of cold Lunch goods ever brought to
Osceola. In Imported Goods, she
has Trrinc dc Psh Gros, Ancheis in
Oil, Sardines, Sardines saas arens,
Queen Olives, Chow-chow Bologne

DR.. Powell and his stcp-son,
young Skelton, living on Buffalo Is
land, got into a difficulty, last week,
which resulted in the stabbing OF
Shelton by Powell, who in turn was
shot and instantly killed by Skelton.
at last account, SHELTON was still
alive but not expected to recover.
The illusions to the habit of
"chawing" gum, in the Essay by
Miss Ella Greene on the night of
the School Entertainment, was the
signal for the gummcrs to swallow
their quid. The awkward manner
in which this feat was performed
came near strangling some Of the
gummers.
That man is self-suilicient IN
deed, who faucies that every squib,
or impersonal alusion made in the
newspapers is hit at him. The
sooner such an individual ofers Cor
position of honor and trust and
finds out how little weight and in
fluence he carries, and gets all the
conceit out of him, the sooner Will
he be prepared to be of service to
his country and fellow man.
The Osceola Giee Club gave
another entertainment Thursday
night, at the Hall, where a pleasant
evening was passed in dancing.
The return from school, of two of
Osceola's iair daughters, was the in
centive which prompted the affair.
1t is rather too risky to have
men draw their "pops" on each
other IN crowd, upon the least
provocation. The law abiding cle-
ment in the community insist that
the law against carrying concealed
weapons be enforced. No man, no
matter from what source he may
derive his authority, as an executive
officer, to carry arms in the dis
charge Of his duty, has right to
place in jeopardy the lives of in
nocent citizens when not in actual
service, or in the immediate dis
charge of duty.
-CRoPs Through the courtesy
of Mr.. John Oglcsby, who kindly
took us in lis buggy last Monday
we got a peep at the growing crops
on the road between town and Mr..
J. w. Williams plantation. We
found, with few exceptions, the
crops full three weeks late, and in
many instances the cotton was being
scrapcd aud worked for the first
time. On Mr.. W. S. Hayes place
we saw a o1t of corn that was
shoulder high aud looked fine. Mr..
| w. =. Hale, whose field we did not
see, is having some of his cotton
lplowed up and replacing with corn.
The prospects on the San Souci,
Lanicr, Nodena and Stonewall plan
tations, are reported better than they
have been for years, at this season.
