 We undestand there asa remon- strance flied in the clerks office, prohibiting the receiving and pay ment of the repairing of the levee on the Narouse. We have been told by those who have seen it, that the repairing is miserable peice of botchery and that the county should not pay for it as 1t stands. Sid Woodbery went out bird hunting Monday, in fact he is now regularly in the business ant says he can shoot a bird just as well where is it as 'swhere it aint." He has committed to us the opinion that he should be called the hunt st of this community" If you want a quail on toast just call on Sid, he will bring them in for you. We attended the;anniversary ex- ercises at the Presbyterian church on last Sabbath, which were very interesting. Rev. MT. Lagrone, the paster, discussed the doctrines of the Cumberland Presbyterians in comparison with those of other denominations. Misses Eena White and Belle Joh lson also read interesting sketches of the early history of the church.

 The PIcAYUNE is being praised on all sides for its general get-up and newsy character-almost every day compliments are bestowed up on it. We are not like some editor: publish all compliments piad us but still we are human, aud when we work and strive hard as we have for the last three months, to get up good paper, we love tc have our friends show some appre citation of our efforts, We are tru ly glad to know our people do ap preciate onr work. It shall always be our endeavor to publish live progressive and newsy paper, thai will reflect credit not only upon ourselves, but also upon Prescott , and Nevada county. Let our little city and county but do their duty in sustainingus, and they are guar anteed a first-class, Eve paper.
