BRISTOL ITEMS.

School opened on Monday with ten
children in attendance.
There will be more teams needed in
Bristol ere long to haul ore and coal to
the furnace. l-'- 9f
Some of the Rabbit boys were over
during the week distributing their wealth
among US poor folks.
A good poker game is said to be run
ming nightly at the Rabbit, and Mr..
PM is doing rushing business in the
saloon line.
Billy Culverwell would make as sue
cessful sport as he is Star.router, but
being favorite with the Bristol ladies,
we will keep mum.
The weather combination during the
week has been made up of rain, snow,
sleet and sunshine, with little cold wind
thrown in occasionally.
Dan Roeder has couple of men EN-.
ployed near town getting out rock for
large cellar that he is going to erect at
his place below the Rabbit.
When stranger comes to town the
boys provide for him in the usual city
style, and our sheriff was no exception
to the rule during late visit. h1lG
In view of the starting of the furnace
on Tuesday, everybody is looking happy,
as good time is looked for during the
coming summer. May she boom.
And still they come, not the babies,
however, but pretty girls, Miss Mamie
Clinton, and Miss Delora Craw of
4 Phoebe, having arrived during the week.
j Bishop Quartz Sparks and Counsellor
Samuel Dryden paid Bristol visit on
Wednesday. The former came to collect
some back tithing from the boys, and the
latter to attend to their spiritual wants.
1t may be interesting to know, mas.
much as the assertion has often been
made that Ireland is too small to have a
government of its own, that the little
Emerald Isle contains $4,000 square
miles; whereas Greece only contains 49,.
600, Switzerland $1,000, Denmark H..
600, while Holland, with $4,000, was
mistress of the seas two centuries ago.
Il 1t will stand our northern neighbors in
hand to keep sharp lookout for the vag-
abond tramp that has left broad trail
of larcenies in his wake through this sec
ton. Height about s feet IL inches;
sandy complexion and sandy moustache;
and when in company has habit Of
looking over paper or from under his
hat rim in suspicious manner.
For the benefit of your 95 per cent.
stud correspondent of the Highlands, we
| will state that we were unconsciously the
cause of the summary chastisement Of
the Bristol youth. We were also the
innocent victim whose toes paid tribute
to the Phoebe lady's two and halls,
and in giving publicity to the affair, we
were actuated solely by desire that the
Juveniles mater would see the error Of
her ways, and in future treat her bright
little fellow more leniently.
In the fullness of our heart. a few
weeks ago, we paid tribute to Panaca
} and her fair daughters, not thinking 70,
a moment that any one of them, much
less your candy-loving correspondent
would be SO unkind as to give us away,
for if we did purchase a few hundred
pounds-more or less Of mixed candy
and dozen sets of plated jewelry, it wai
nothing more than any other appreciativt
youth would have done under like cir
cumstances; but so 1T is ever with th,
fair sex, when you have given up YOU
last nickel they have no further use fol
you. aass etu
Il In few more months the politica
cauldron will commence to warm up il
Nevada, as well as throughout the Union
and the good and bad citizen alike will
be harrassed by the political demagogue
who seem to be growing more numerou
at every election. The good citizen, i. e
the one that will not take bride, eithe
in hard money or empty promises, is
special mark for the willy politician, tn
man that in nine cases out of ten cal
convince lukewarm Democrat that tn
issues at stake are only local ones, an
that he is voting for Republican Smitl
simply because he is better man thai
! Democratic Brown. The bad citizen
and the woods are full of 'em-is, in tn
: majority of cases, too ignorant to realiz
the difference between either party, an,
: readily falls victim to the first glib
tongued political rounder that slips fey
dollars into his hand. Unfortunatel
such is politics.
