HYDE PARK.
Who is rich? And who is happy?
Who could be content with less?
Let us see-his name is-name is

PShaW, we've lost the mans address,
1t is thirteen liquor offences thai
Simeon Hunt was found guilty of, and
not eight, as we stated last week.
Lyceum Friday night. Question fol-
discussion, "ReSolved, That the social
influence of the saloon does more to
cause intemperance than appetite. D
All invited.
An editor, who has reached the adj
vanced age of 80, attributes his long
! life and excellent health to the fact
that he never expected to please every
body, and never tried to do so.
II. J. Lilley has finished painting up
his buildings at the Falls. He has had
two big signs painted thereon. One
sign reads III. j. Lilley' and the
other EARN and Lumber Wagons"
What has become of the Centreville
post-office? If ever community was
entitled to one, that place is. We
should think some of our Democratic
friends, who have influence with the
administration, would interest them
selves in the matter.
The trees begin to stretch their bare
arms heavenward. In few days the
leaves will all be gone. The quaint
remark was recently made by one who
was noticing the appearance of the
trees that ''they looked tired" They
are now dropping their burden.
We have had regular cleaning up
time in the News AND CITIZEN job Of
fee the past week-the biggest reno
walton ever given the "shebang."
We are now in frst-class shape and
'better prepared than ever to do all
kinds of job work in good style at
| reasonable prices.
Jonas Thompson and Lawson Har-
rington have each fine yearling colts.
Lawson thought however, he had a
''dead sure thing" when he bet that
his weighed more than Thompson's.
So Jonas went up and brought his
down and it tipped the beam at 995,
while Lawson's weighed 790. The
cigars were cheerfully paid.
The greatest man for that dubious
root, commonly called onion, that we
know of is Carl Terrill of Cady's Falls.
He has already disposed of 800 bush
els this fall, and is now on another
100. But great as this may seem,
it is not up to his former record, he
having sold 100 bushels a few years
ago. What an offensive partisan they
would make
A subscriber, Geo. W. Hulburd, of
Franklin, Neb., writes us under date
of Oct. 18th, 1.-The mercury has gone
up to 81 deg. in the shade, and the
nights are too warm for covering. No
frost as yet. Pumpkin, squash and
watermelon vines, after yielding good
ripe fruit the last of July, are again in
full blossom" Quite difference be-
tweed Nebraska and Vermont weather
we should say.
Bertha Stevens: for the past five
months employed in this office, has
returned to her home in Barnet. Dur
ing her stay in this place she proved
herself competent TYPO" and made
many friends, who regret her depart
ure. Miss Stevens place is now filled
by Hattie E. Nesbett of Hardwick, a
young lady who has had considerable
experience in the business, having for
a number of years been in the employ
of Rand & Avery, the well-known
Boston printers.
Among the Congressional nomina-
tions made in New York State last
week is that of Moses d. Stivers, sem
ior editor of the Middletown Daily |
Press, as Republican candidate in the
18th Dist. Our early instructions in |
the "art preservative" were received in
his office. He took an interest in his
employees, and always had kind and
encouraging words for them. We look
back with pleasure to the happy days
spent in his employ, and we are sure
could the desire of the boys who
have graduated from the Press
office be carried out, enid" as he is
Familiarity called, would receive a |
unanimous vote In the coming election.
Mr.. Stivers was for many years inter-
nal revenue collector and has also held |
other positions of trust. During all
his official and political career not
word has been uttered against his
integrity and ability. He will be cleo
ted, and no one will rejoice more over
the event than the writer.
