in his boyhood he carefully stored the

an egg and poured the contents into his
mouth. He gave an agonized yell and
jumped up and came down with dull
and sickening thud on the balance Of the
eggs, while the driver and other pas
sengers grasped their noses and took to
the brush. We think he has lost his !
relish for Graham county eggs on the

Bazine is on boom.
We seriously doubt ever again obtain
tanning SO fair chance for railroad.
The total vote in the county was 1,037,
as near as could be obtained from in
official returns. OF these 418 were for a
railroad and GIG against.
We'uns can pick COW chips and break
weeds for fuel and pay S33 per thousand
for lumber, and other things in proper
ton, about as long as you'uns.
The Times is trying hard to convert
itself to the belief that we are better off
without railroads-that it is better to pay
$4,000 year for the luxury of being
without a railroad, and when it is paid
still be without one, than it would be to
save this $4,000 and pay another
$4,000 for road, which we would then
have for all time to come, to use and tax,
and save $50, 600 per year forever there
after. But this is the hardest job of
believing we ever undertook-it requires
a greater stretch of faith than we ever
before thought ourselves capable of.

1t was rather a chilly day last Tuesday
for the bob-taii.
The anti-bond fellows jubilated some
what over the result OF the election last
Wednesday evening. But they didn't
paint the town red.
Mr.. Jacob Shell, well known to many
of our citizens, in the last week, made
three different attempts to hang himself,
but was prevented by some of the family.
The alteration is supposed to be only
temporary.
The recent storm killed great deal of
stock In all parts of the county. as the
severe winter had weakened them to such
an extent as to succumb easily. Stock
needs feed now more than at any time
this winter, bnt its scarcity will cause
more losses before grass.
The defeat of the c. N. K. & S. w.
proposition is due largely to the fact that
the two elections were called upon the
same. day, coupled with lack of faith on
the part of our people that the road
would even be built.
