Messrs. Sprague & Champlain have
been placing Cooks Anchor and Gable
on several buildings in town, and it
seems to make them as solid as the rock
Of giberalter. These gentlemen have
the exclusive right Of this county for
that popular invention.
Justin P. Rhodes, the detective, who
was arrested for kidnapping Rev. Jas.
Suggs, at the camp meeting near Mar

airy examination before Squire Dickey
last Wednesday, and was bound over
under the sum of $500 to appear at the
next term Of the District Court.
Mr.. Kepler, a prominent Iowa Attor-
ney, and a brOther-in-law Of Frank Nc
Kay, Of this place, called at the HERALD
Office this week. He was one Of the
Iowa editorial cxcursionists, and stop
ped off on his way home to visit his rel
atives here. Mr.. Kepler expressed
himself as agreeably surprised at the
beauty and fertility Of this county.
S. W. Miller, Esq. of Redding, Iowa,
has concluded to locate here and put
out a nursery in the spring. Heunder-
stands that business thoroughly, and
feels confident that a good nursery viii
pay in this county. There is no doubt
of it. A great number Of fruit trees are
being planted here, and it IS much bet
ter to buy of reliable home men. With
proper attention, Phillips county will
soon have plenty Of fruit.
1t is strange that the law does not
throw some safeguard around an limo
cent public. Now here came the John
son circus clowns who were so rresisti-
bly, funny that the people nearly killed
themselves with laughter. It is said
that one lady at Kirwin, where they
showed, has not fully recovered yet,
but continues to CYCLE from morning till
night. When the disabilities of the peo-
pie are left to the mercies Of such SUI
preme comedy, there is som ething
wrong.

I. F. Mallett, who runs 8 drugstore

from the number of statements fled

that his business is now so lucrative that
he does not need to advertise.

how these travelling concerns presume
on the ignorance of the public, The
procession Of this show consisted Of
band wagon, a cage of coyotes, a pony
in a go-cart and a peel-garlic clown in
a coffee sack costume. There were a
few hand-springs, some horizontal bar
foppings, a little trapeze balancing,
and-and-weu that was about all.
During the enactment of the ''lone fish

during which the audience sank into
gentle slumber, and happily dreamed
that they did not attend the show.
They were finally awakened from this
blissfuI delusion by the barking Of Geo.

The Malays express themselves in

argument with a proverb. Some OF
their proverbs resemble those wise avs
which We use to point a moral, while
Others are peculiar to them.

Those who think human nature may
