Christmas is over and the little
folks are happy-The Christmas tree
in tbs Ford school house was a grand
affair but was not us nice as last year
We attended the Literary at Ford's
school house last week and can say it
is a success We are informed that
Miss Allie Bywater carried off tue
most valuable presents from the Christ
mas tree, her presents were valued at
from Sl2 to Sl5--very good-We are
in receipt of a letter from Hon. Geo.
Eyeritt of Mitchell, stating that where
a person makes settlement on his land
inside OF six months from date of APP
plication he can prove up IN 5 years
from time of said filing; otherwise the
time counts from date of actual resi-
dence-There was a grand dance at G
Thompson's on Christmas eve, there
were between so and IS present, the
supper was delicious and we decided
it was a splendid place to spend few
hours-We understand the boys in the
west part of our town are having lively
times about the young ladies and we
fear duel will be the end of it; but
boys do not get mad IL some fellow
gets ahead of you, better takelit as a
joke-We hear a great deal of com.
plant about our school books that were
bought by our school board; they have
never brought them around and they
say they cannot furnish enough of each
kind, but it seems strange that the
schools have to run from to S weeks
waiting for books-hurry UP the books.

motlonless and dumb. He could but
glare at me, while held him in wise

grew ashy pale.
At such a moment as this detective
needs all the GOODNESS and determination
he can command, for then it is that his

He becomes semi paralyzed with surprise,

Curious Fairs at Paris.

Every spring two curious fairs are held
on the Boulevard Richard Lenoir at
Paris. The one is the ham fair, where
Bayonne hams are sold; at the other de-
crepit old household gods are sold to the
highest bidder. Why these two fairs are
always coupled together is unknown,
even to the Partisan chronicler; but such
as they are, they are interesting still.
The space assigned for the fair of house
hold goods is covered with goods heaped
pcle mele in large or small lots on the
ground. Here are second hand books,
sold at four sous apiece; next to them a
heap of ribbons OF all colors, church
candles, plaster saints, old hats, a broken
china vase, Dresden statuettcs short of q
leg or an arm, rusty padlocks, agricultu-
raj implements, warmingp pans, and a
parrot perch. There again are saucepans
without lids, lanterns, a medallion of the
rep lblic, Il bust of Napoleon l., another
of Beranger, another of the lawyer La
chaud, hunting-gear, brass trumpets, o
sword, revolver, rat traps and sign
boards. Here colored saint is praying
with joined hands before a picture a la
Vatican. Again, portrait of Garibaldi
supports itself against an engraving.
Further on there is guitar, harp, scis-
sors, plnccrs, Il box of razors, the French
tricolor, shocmakcrs' lasts Il view of the
Champ de Mars and the Troca1ero,
stuffed birds, etc. In cver-new varieties
this world of bygone spcndor appears
before the beholder And the merchants
shout themselves hoarse, allure the benev-
client plsser-by, and compel him to buy
by the mere force of their eloquence.
Only q few steps aside toward the
Bastille is the ham fair, filling the air
with the odor of bacon. A double row
of booths runs along the boulevard. Be
tween bouquets of laurel are suspended
cakes of dripping sausages, dry as marble,
and smoked hams; large basins of lard
stand about smoked, garlic favored
heaped up mountain high. Behind the
exhibits are gathered whole families of
country folk; the wife wears large
white apron, the husband walks about
with knife in hand, inviting everybody to
try his goods. The ham far which has
just been opened is said to be better sup
piled than it has been for years, and
Partisan housekeepers throng the passage
through the fair Lyons and Aries have
sent the finest specimens of pork, and
Bayonne is, as usual, represented by its
famous hams. Garlic sausages represent
the town of Wire, and from the district
of the Loire, from Italy and Switzerland
the products are excellent. The palm,
however, belongs to Alsace and Lorraine,
whose pork butchers have appropriated
most of the booths on the boulevards, and
the names of Strasbourg, Mulhausen,
schlestadt Weissenburg, and those of
the departments of the Mouse, the
Vosges, and the Meurthe ct Mo ellie are
the most prominent c hicu1o Times.

Mexican Sombreros and Sunstroke.

In letter from Mexico the Pittsburg
Dispatch correspondent says: One Sum
Gay morning l started with some gentle
men on "a long horseback ride. They
wore wide sombreros and a little round
cap which hal no brim. The longer we
rode the more peculiar my head felt, and
when we stopped at q fonda for some
refreshments | became deadly sick and
unconscious. There was no doctor within
thirty miles of us, so they did what they
could in their fright to help me. knew
in moment what had done it the warm
sun. The instant l stepped into the
shade chill ran over me, and fell. By
putting wee cloths on my head and
making a curtain around my cap with u
handkerchief, managed to reach home.
After | was again able to ride | bought
large straw sombrcro, and when we
were going to start l requested one of
the gentlemen to wear Il small stiff hat.
He, not knowing my motive, wonder
ingly obcycd, and before we had gone
half the distance had ridden the former
day he stopped and said he would 90 no
further, as he felt so strangely sick he
must get into the shade. He believed
he was poisoned. | knew what was
wrong, and | followed him into the
shade and saw him faint and behave like
did the previous day. l had spoiled our
ride forwe immediat ely returned home,
but | led
The broad sombrcros shade and pro-
tect the spinal cord, and that keeps one
from taking sunstroke. If you expose
the spinal cord to the sun it is going to
make you sick, if nothing worse. The
poor people who are ont all the day do
not take sunstrokes, because they wear
sombreros. The man who wears the
stiff or high silk hat does not go out in
the heat of the day, and when he does
he carries an umbrella, which does him
the same service. The Mexican woman
likewise never goes out in the day, except
mornings and evenings, when she carries
a parasol, and the poor Indian woman at
her work either wears large hat or a
rebozo over her head, which also protects
the spinal cord. So, to my mind, have
proved that if one shades the spinal cord
they need have no fear of the sun.

LOVE AND AGE:

Lament not, love, that we are growing old!
lime is tyrant whose remorseless SWAY
Sweeps all things mutable to swift decay,
But Love immortal is; her anchors hold
When tempests, black with dangers manifold,
Would drive us far from paths of peace
astray,
Let not thin locks, argent with kindly
gray,
Wake vain regret for loss of rippled geld.

WITHIN our hearts love burns serenely yet,

Can Consumption be Cured z

We have so often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that it can be cured that we
have unconscously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal
1t is true that occasionally community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may ap-
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery
but to what combination of favorable circum-
stances this re ult was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature effects this
wonderful change is no longer mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be made
as certainty and more expeditiously by the use
of the proper remedy. In other words, nature
is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, if we can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the process
of elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This is Just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. 1t
arrests at once the progress of the disease by
preventing the further supply of tuberculous
matter, for while the system is under its in
fluence all nourishment is organized and as
simulated. 1t thus controls cough, eXpectora-
ton, night-sweats hectic fever, and all other
CHARACTERISTIC symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi-
cine, and all write that it comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage OF a disease is always the
most suspicious for treatment. This fact should
induce persons to resort to the use of Pso's Cure
when the cough is first not 'ced, whether it has
consumptive diathesis for its cause or not,
for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with
unequalled facility and promptness. In coughs
from simple cold, two or three doses of the
medicine have been found sufficient to remove
the trouble. So in all diseases of the throat
and lungs, with symptoms Stimulating those
of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infal-
lible remedy.
The following letter recommending Pso's
Cure for Consumption, is IL fair sample of the
certificates received daily by the proprietor OK
this medicine:

Two Lands.

There is land of sorrow and of wailing,
Not much unlike the land that Dante
knew.
The dwellers there have black robes round
them trailing:
Their foreheads all are bound about with
rue.
The people of that land are very simple;
The Virgins five of old were far more wise:
Above their portals is this legend written:
ave did not think it paid to advertise"
And there's land flowing with milk and
honey
Not the condensed nor yet the sorghum
strains
Each fellow has gripsack full of money,
And stocks, and bonds, and other kinds o
gains.
The people of this land are fat and jolly;
They're somewhat sharp, indeed are very
wise;
They take no stock in any kind of folly;
they say we SNOW it pays TO advertise
