Work is good at most of the
mines. Carbon Hill mine has lost
a great deal of work owing to the
machinery being out of fix; this
mine has long steep grade from
the mouth of the mine to the hop

with wire rope, the loaded cars
pull the rope down the hill and q
stationary engine set at the mine
pulls the empty cars up, the ma
chinery being old and worn out

How common it is to revert to
things seen, heard or gone in the
past, and so it is at present with us.
Forty years ago we drove through
Logan-"Was it muddy? ! should
smile" The first object that at
tracted our notice, was an OK teen
stalled on Main street Whipping,
following and swearing was the
order of things; finally the oxen
pulled through. The driver was
a very tall, slender, dark complex
ioned man, who after he had got
his team ander good headway just
turned his head, and looking over
his shoulder said, "You have a
III of town." we thought that
the citizens coincided, for no one
said word, "Silence gives con-
sent" BY the way we have heard
a pretty good joke that happened
about forty years ago, in your
county. Mr.. Ruben Heston was a
candidate before the people for
Representative. An intelligent
young lawyer was his opponent,
and the young man proposed to
meet Rube on the stump and de-
bate the subjects at issue with him,
Rube Gas he was Familiarity called)
accepted. Some of Ruben's friends
talked to him and said, that it was
bad move for him, as he could
not make a speech to save him, but
Rube aassured them that he would
bring it out all right. Rube met his
antagonist at the place and time
designated with three gallon jug
of whisky. He had it in his buggy
near at hand. The young man
made very fine scholarly speech
went ever all of the ground touch
ing upon everything at issue, elab-
orately and nicely, and left the
platform. Now was Rube's turn
his friends were trembling with
fear, they almost held their breath
when they saw Rube striding for
the stand; but look! he is carrying
something, yes, it is jug, said one
when he reached The center of the
platform, he sat down the jug, and
strengthening himself upon his
toes, exclaimed "Faugh! Faugh!
what speech!!! Come up men
and drink" 1t elected him. But
how times, manners, and customs
have changed "Since forty years
ago." The methods that then made
Heston popular, would now insure
the defeat Of the best man in the
party. 3.

An agent for the sale of new
tangled combined road plow and
scraper, was in town trying to sell
one Of the new machines to the

machine can do the work of two
hundred men. This Is bad news to
the two hundred.

as rapidly as possible.
We are sorry to note the fact
that s. M. Godecke, has become de-
mented. He appears to be labor
ing under some strong religious (?)
hallucination. 1t is thought to be
the result Of undue excitement en-
gendered by attending the meetings
of the s. A. but we do not know.

and improvements have recently
been made among which is large
dining hall in which each patient
takes meals under the immediate
supervision of the Superintendent
This is the first Institution in the
U. S. to adopt this arrangement,
which it is believed will be much
more satisfactory than the old plan
of having the inmates of each ward
take their meals separately.

We take pleasure to inform the
public that it has been found. After
searching for many long and wear
some days, it was discovered among
some hazel-brush with cats head
gracefully suspended. The finder
hung the pitcher and cat on tree

the passer-by views the mangled
body of the cat, he thinks--"Such
is life" For the truth Of this story
