One of Kimball's best known young
men has rented a house and report

Sorry We are bound to secrecy and
sorrier still to think the young man
is ashamed to have it get out.
The witty WEIGH of the Douglas
County Chronicle invited us down to
eat Christmas turkey with him. Sor-

Bro. Hammond says some one is
stealing his coal. "A man who will
steal from an editor would get up in
the night and bite his grandmother,

A number of boxes left ont in front
of some of the stores have been stolen

from in front of Parks store which
was not empty, but contained a street
lamp, which had just arrived and was
forgotten and left outside.
WEIGH of the Grand View Chroni-
Gle intimates we live on cake-johnny
cake. We wish we did. If we could
get hold of a piece of johnny cake
such as our good mother used 70 make
we'd be as happy as a girl when her
hustle hangs true and horizontal to
her hypotenuse.

other that maketh a country EDITORS
heart glad it is to open a letter and
find therein a 81 bill from a new sub
scriber. We received three such let
tiers in one mail last week, one from

such and we can square up with our
