The writer of the w. G. L. u.
column this week seems to be
strongly impressed with the belief
that it is only the Prohibition party
to be considered and supported.
Our impression may be wrong, but
we have had a different idea from
this as to the line of policy the
Union was wont to pursue.
My stock of fine boots and shoes
is on hand, and for the next thirty
days ! will give with each pair of
lady's kid or goat shoes a bottle of
the Hub polish. Ed. DAvEY.
DOGS are quite as apt to prove a
nuisance as anything we can at
present call to mind, especially a
country dog. Last Friday coun-
try lady was on hand with her dog,
and upon going into Pulford's drug
store the dog went too, but the
brute was in more of hurry to get
out than its mistress and sprung
for the window. He lit amongst a
lot OF fancy crockery, lamps, toilet
articles, etc, that were on display,
readily demolishing $40 worth or
more.
ACTIvIrY in the holiday business

cigar eases, writing desks, toilet
sets, vases, scrap books, etc., etc.
No end to the rich and rare novel
ties.
SOME folks think the fire insur-
ance business is all plain sailing
with no kink in it. Such a man
lived near Madison, Wisconsin, and
he called upon an agent in the city
the other day and said: "My barn
burned last night 1t was not in
sured. Now, if you will make me
out a policy of 81 900, date it back,
and see that | get my cash Pll give
you fifty dollars right in your fist "
1t was after being kicked out that
he concluded he did not understand
the insurance business.
THE dead body of man was

Paul and New York. He is sup

LADIES say those fine beaver and
felt slippers at Penhallegon's are
the most comfortable covering for
the feet ever invented.
THREE toughs that would proper
| lv come under the head of tramps,
landed in this city Saturday evening.
A more inferior trio could scarcely be
imagined. They were genuine, such
as one reads about Il is under
stood that Darlington officials paid
their way up here to get rid of them
Cheap enough, still our city was for
tunate in not having them bring on
us even that much. Sunday they
struck out northward afoot. If a
spirit of industry should overtake
this miserable class not only them
selves, but all, would be greatly
benefited.
