Alley viii be closed. and the line run
back SO as to straighten the lot. This
Church has for years been giving up a
part of its property, and stood cramped
up for want of room to be clean. Some
of the old landmarks that have looked
so sweet, and smell sweeter, will be OBJ
liberated.
FRIDAF.-Jim Harrel is the subject of
muck joking by his friends this morning.
Going into the outhouse at the Parnell
house, some time ago, Mr.. Harrel dropped
his watch and broke it, costing him some
two dollars to get it repaired. This
morning he went to the same place again,
and thinking to make safe with the
watch, he laid it aside, but finally went
away forgetting to get it again: When
he thought of it and went back it was
gone. An attache of the "hotel" remem-
bered who had been about there and put
Jim on the track. He found the fellows
in an adjoining store and took the watch
away from him. -. Evan q. Jones
County Surveyor declares he recently
found community where there are none
but honest men. While surveying near
Squire Sells, in Coal Township, he dis
covered number of tools lying outdoors
and in something OF surprise asked if
they left things lying around loose in
that manner. The reply waa that nobo-
dy bothered anything up there. Evan
thinks the people up that way are evi-
IDENTIFY prepared for the millennium. 49,.
The army" came out some twenty
strong, and had a street parade. AT the
hall there was 2 rousipg meeting, and an
enthusiastic time. A good one is told of
a saloon man in this place, who expressed
great concern that the poor people would
carry their money up to the hall and give
it to these strangers, when "times were
so hard" This is the most brassy COM
plant we remember ever to have heard
of. The "poor people," according to this
reasoning. should give their money to
support great loafers, who make living
by drawing poison from kegs. AS be-
tween the Salvation Army and the dog
gerry, give the money to the Army, every
time.

out walking about this morning The
old man looks thin, and his nervous mo-
tions would at once create the impress

have full control of himself this morn
ing, and was polite and well-behaved. -.
