MT. J. T, Busick, who was shot at New Boston, Tex, by a Dr Shaw about three weeks since, died on Thursday afternoon last, in the arms of his brother-in-law, Mir. Al. ex Vaughn, of this place. MT. Bu- sick was noble-hearted gentle VI an, greatly loved and respected in New Boston. A large concourse turned out at the burial on Friday. We tender our sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends. Mir. J. W. Percy and Miss Nora Hodge were married on last Thurs day evening the 18th at the resi- dence ofthe brides mother, by the Rev. MT. Traylor. MT. P. is ope- ra tor of the Western Union Tele- graph Co. here, and is an estimablc and worthy young man. His bride, Miss Nora Hodge, is one of Pres cott's first young ladies, noble specimen of the fair sex. We wish them a prosperous and happy voy. age through life.
 Msssrs W,P ROSE and John Hays two of Okolona's enterpris. ing business men,:: passed through town Monday on their way home from the Exposition at New Or leans. We had a very pleasant conversation with MT Ross about the exposition. He said it certain. ly was a big show, and all who could, should see it. That the cit y was very much crowded while he was there on account of mardi gras, and that the transportation facilities to and from the grounds were insufficient. He also stated it was notable that nearly all visi. tors were from the professional class, few farmers having sufficient means to attend.
 It was slippery travelling here the first of the week, and many of our citizens have sat down sudden ly and emphatically. We noticed one individual particular who came along Monday evening stepping as high and as careful as a blind horse and whistling in low but ef- fecdve tones, "The Last Rose of summer" The song was entirely out of place, and so was the man before he had gone foot luther, for his feet shst out from under him, andhe come down with a'dull thud,' all doubled up like a cro- quet wicket. He struck all over, and in falling tried to save himself, but it was no go. On picking him self up he found the fall had caused an oblique fracture of the scapula, pied his duramater, busted his cornucopia, and wrecked his sara bellum. Perhaps we are in error as to some of these medical terms, but when you learn that we have no medical dictionary, you will per haps excuse us.

 Considering the unfavorabie weather for the past three weeks, the preparation of ground for the next crop has progressed in Neva- da county wonderfully, and much of it is already in condition to re- ceive the seeds. The snows ,sleets and freezes of the winter have been highly beneficial to the soils and will contribute materially to their productiveness, if there is not too much rainfall in March and April.

Looking upon your pnpcras being about

that characterized the election last fall,
and how Jud LaAlourc and his servilc

remember how pcmbina county as then

When county division was decided on in
thc spring it was tie hope of some that
there would be Il change for the better
and that i'll 4 new county they would
escape from the old regime. That hope
was vain. The new county was con-
ccived in sin and born in ini1uity. The
wires had been laid underground by
skilfil hands and when the people awoke
they found the old machine running lust
about as usual. The same old pilot was
on the quarter deck, his flag flew from
the mast head, and his own picked crew
had manned the yards. 1t had all been
done under the light Of the moon when

Facts for the Consideration Of til,
Voters of Cavalier County

Voters OF Cavalier County.
Editor PIONEER ENTREES
Feeling, as we do, confident thai Oh,
voters of our county earnestly desire t.
cast their votes upon the question of lii,
location of the county seat of our county
next Tuesday, 50 as to subserve the very
best interests oftl,e people and county
at large, regardless of local prejudice on
personal interest, l deem it not i'm,
proper to submit to them, through, tn,
press, the following indisputable facts
touching the important question wllic!,
will be determined by their votes. The
county is just entering upon its corporate
existence, and the question of the lsc;,.
ton of its seat of government is one OF
vital importance and upon its determine
ton will depend much, its future pros
pcrity as well as the future convenience
or Inconvenience that vii! attend the
people i'll reaching the poin, to Which Ill
public and municipal business matters
must necessarily gravitate, namely the
county seat. The question of location is
between three points, viz: Olga Lang,on,
and Rosa Lake. Considering these point.
iii their inverse order, and beginning
with Rosa Lake, what advantages; are
presented i'll favor Of this point. LIST. ii is
only three miles southeast Of the present
so-called county seat. Then, wherein
lies the benefit to be derived by removal
SO short a distance? Certainty there is
none whatever, unless parcliancv the
generous offers by the people Of isosl
Lake TO give the county 100 ceres Of
government land, providing til@ county
will acquire title to it. This is too .!on-
sensical to deserve further :i,s.icc and
certainly will not prove u balt to y,
people as intelligent as the voters O;
Cavalier county. End, I.ailg..un offers
five acres of land to the county ,royidin"

That's all, last, but by no means t!aas, {;
Olga offers to erect Il building iur court

donate Its use free of any c;,rge or cost
to the county, as long as the county scat
remains at Olga. AS an earnest of
good faith, and to secure the performance
of what they offer, the people of Olga
have placed in the hands CT the county
commissioners duly executed bond in
the sum of one Thousand dollars which
bond has upon it rs surety the name Of
the solidest man, financially, in the ,.oun-
ty, and has been duly approved by the
board of county commissioners. Thus,
it will be readily seen that there is 10
