! On this page will be found an item written
by Bro. Bell, in which he states that "Colonel
Lane must undoubtedly be a Democrat, as
he was seen carrying half hog into his Office;
whereas, if he had been a Republican he
would not have been content with less than
whole one." Now, We presume Bro. Bell
must be Republican Of the deepest dye as
he Was seen groaning under the weight of a
whole hog only short while after. The
devil" is responsible for the above and
slipped the item in without Bro. Bells
knowledge.
Don't Girc Up Yet.

From George w Hoover of Mcdford who
has come to our town to spend Christmas,
with his parents Dr. and Mrs. Hoover, we
learn of the prosperity ofthe town from which
he halls. George is enthusiastic in regard to
the developments in and about that growing
little city. a ten stamp quartz mill is on the
ground, and some rich gold findings are in
that vicinity. So rich indeed are some of them
that guards are employed to watch the mines.
Some pay $1,000 to the ton and it, has the
coloring of days gone by in old Jackson.
AL in the Line of Nature.
There is nothing in the line of magic Or
mystery about that wonderful and popular
medicine, Parker's Tome. II is simply the
best and most Scientific combination possible
OF the essential principles of those Vegetable
curatives which act powerfully and directly on
the stomach, liver; kidneys and blood But
there neither is, nor will be, any successful
imitation Of it. II is all the time curing those
who had despaircd of ever getting we'll. For
yourself, wife and children.
1t is absolutely wonderful to oh serve the |
esprit-de-corps that now pcrvadcs the great

Verify thou art mistaken, and thy words were
not words of prophecy, such as we should
expect from an oracle, the scrub newspapers
to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Drain Echo is before us in good shape
We hail you to the world OF trials and trbula-

advantages that surround your beautiful village.
at will not be political organ" says the
salutatory, "but they will vote the Republican
ticket, if the party nominate good men.
Now if you test it thus, you know the Repub
licans were never known to nominate a bad
man. Better not set astride the fence Bro. it

No sir, Thomas A. Hendricks was the peer
Of any man in this nation. Now we say to
you, We do wish you much success.
Last Monday was the winter solstice, the
shortest day in the year, when, according TO
the almanac, winter begins. The day was a
sort of fthree-quarter post on the great race-
track Of life, around which VIC are sped every
year. And how the pace increases as we grow
older. In boyhood the track seems thousand
miles around. Year by year it grows shorter,
till by and by the quarter posts seem like mile
stones and then they seem as close together
as telegraph poles, and at last a man glidcs
by so swiftly that they begin to seem as thick
as grave stones in an old cemetery and we !arc
distanced and our race is run. Yes, how true,
life is but Heeting shadow, yet between our
entrance and exit we have momcntous work
to do, therefore let us look we'll to ii that our
time is not idly spent.
