Letter from HarshaM.

HABsHAw, A. T.. Nov. 4, 1886.
 ED. CITIzES:-Now that election is over will pick up Awful Baldy's' d. Bs) pen and try snd give you or your paper or the readers of your paper. a lew items of possibly some interest in regard to Harshav and suburbs, that's a good woid isn't Taking things iu their order l must first tell you about the ball We had when the democratic candidates came to town. The ball was immense and laid away over our re- publican ball. It was held ID the school house, the floor was wa1ed till it shOne like 8 mirror. The walls were hung with appropriate notices such as ''God bless our home,r "Table sta ks go" "Welcome," Chips 10 cents," etc. Dancing commenced st aud kept up tIll F, when the folding doors st the back of the hall were opened and long table loaded with all Nthe delicacies tue market afforded" was brought in, and after the ladies had refreshed them selves with a slight repast ard the male portion of the dancers had gorged themselves with an enormous feed. the table was removed and the "ATioEs," a quartette of male voices. rendered ''Grandfal hers Clock Empty Is the Cradle, Baby's G"ne," and other choice selections. At o'clock dancing was re sumed and kept up tIll the school trGs- tees aud parents of the town came ID body and elected the happy dancers m tune for school to commence next day.
 I he town being democratic by large maj )rity, our republican ba was not sucn huge success. We managed 10 get along finely. however, unul the ''ArionS" (being all democrRts) refused to sIDg any but the most lugubrious sen timentsl songs which naturally threw 8 wet blanket. 80 to speak. upon our spir- its and the ball broke up shortly after. I characteristic democratic trick, those sougs.
 The business outlook for Harshaw is fine. By business outlook. mean the prob able number of blue jeans Oyeralls, plugs of tobacco, pairs Of brogRns, sacks O. four, etc. e.c., which TIli be sold to the men who chloride here, tegtn-ters. wood choppers and tle various other kinds Of men who make up Q com munity Of this kind. and also the prObs- ble number of glasses Of ba3-very bad -uhisky winch vii be fired down the gullets O. the sfore mentioned men.
 The Blue Nose mIue has, 1 under stAuu, struck IL big a-E.r; i true, TnCre men will be employed asd consequently have the wherewith tO buy the above mentioned blue jeans. broggns and liquids, all of which IS, VIC believe. bus mess.
 new saloon has opened its doors to a thirsty pubic; got a billiard table too. The billiard tsole fills loo. felt want, as ve have several billiard experts ID HsrshRw who are getting out Of prac- tice.
 "A. B." said iI his last letter from Harsh8w. that the ladies c mplRined be cRnse he did not notice them. Cbeekg Why his cheek runs over to the back of hls neck. The ladies of this burg don't need advertising. ODe fellow came ID here and got away to some part of Cali | fornia with one. and the balance We want to keep; but from the appearance Of | things am afraid We can't. They are al republ cans s1d were all for their l ticker, and, blythe way, I think that ! might possibly be a solution to the | quest on why IL was sat upon so by the | voters of Harshaw. 1 may be a little | fast in sayir they are ALL republicans, | as l am unscquRinted ~ith any If them, | but I have wurshiped at distance and | they look so good and pretty that they I MUST be republicans, as We all knoE | that to ba sn unfsiling indicatieS in & | man. Yours till some eet.hleeef cay.
