Captain Marston now has his two

On his last trip up the captain was
most vigorous in his denunciation
of pool line methods, he having
lately been made to feel the power
of monopoly by dead outlay OF
ten thousand dollars on his boat,
whereas by every right he claims
he should not have had to pay over
three thousand dollars for the re-
pairs made on the Sentell while

A special from Heflin, Ala, gives
an account of bloody family trag-
edy at that place. A few months
ago Turner Bryant, young mer-
chant, married the l7-year-old
daughter of r. 7. Chambers. 1t
is said Bryant treated his wife very
badly; anyway, she lived with him
only a few weeks, when she re-
turned to her father. Bryant went
to the home of his father-in-law
and demanded to see his wife. He
was refused admission, but forced
his way into the house and was
shot through the heart by Cham
bers and instantly killed. Cham
bers surrendered to the proper au-
thorities, and claims he was only
defending his home. The young
wife did not seem at all affected by
the death of her husband

The CoIfax Christmas Tree.

The COlfax christmas Irees
The Christmas tree in Colfax on
Christmas Eve was a decided sue
cess. At an early hour the court
house was crowded with an eager
and expectant audience, whose antic-
ipations were fully realized when
the curtain was drawn aside reveal
ing the magnificent Christmas tree
loaded with presents. Fully two
hundred gifts were distributed, the
large tree being literally loaded,
the big table used by the lawyers
having to be brought into requisi-
ton to hold those that could not be
placed on the tree, the table itself
also being covered from one end to
the other. The exercises we're rem
dered interesting by Christmas
carols and songs by the young Ia
dies and gentlemen, and an address
by Mr.. G. H. Teal, who acted az
master of ceremonies in the distri-
button of prizes. Altogether the
event was one of JOY and pleasure
and will undoubtedly tend to ce.
ment and confirm the harmony anC
good will of our community. W.
hope to see many repetitions of thu
Christmas tree which afforded *
much happiness to the citizens o
Colfax on last Christmas Eve.
The Colfax chronicle., 1888-12-29

Mrs. Duniway, of the New
Northwest, at literary reunion,
at Salem, Oregon, toasted the
gentlemen as follows:
"God bless 'eml they halve our
joys, they double our sorrows, they
treble our expenses, they quadruple
our cares, they excite our magnim-
ity, they increase our self-respect,
they awaken our enthusiasm, they
control our property, they out
maneuver US in everything. This
would be q dreary world without
'em. In fact, / may say, it would
not be much of world anyhow.
We love 'em, and they, dear things,
can't help it; we control 'em, and
the precious fellows don't know it.
As husbands they are always con-
venient, though not always on hand.
As beaux, they are by no means
matchless. They are the most
agreeable visitors; they are handy
at State fairs, and indispensable at
oyster saloons. They are splendid
as escorts for some other fellows
wife or sister, and as friends they
are better than women. As oul
fathers they are inexpressibly
grand. A man may be a failure in
business, q wreck in constitution
not enough to boast of as a beauty,
nothing as a wit, less than nothing
as a legislator for woman's rights
and not even very brilliant as men
bers of the press; but if he is oul
own father, we overlook his short
comings and cover his pecadilloe'
with the divine mantle OF charity
Then, as our husbands, how VI
love to parade them as paragons
In the sublime language of th'
poet:
"WeTl lie for them,
HWen cry for them,
"And IL we could, we'd fy for them
sWe'd do anything but die for them" /"

Fairmount Christmas Tree.

CoLrAx. La, Dec. "a, 1883.
On the night of December 26th
there occurred at the residence of
Mr.. Geo. w. Hickman an event
that will long be remembered with
pleasure by those who had the good
fortune to attend. The undersigned
enjoyed tho graceful and cordial re-
ception of the worthy host, pleas
ure only exceeded upon being ush-
cred into the presence of bevy
of beautiful young ladies. Some
time was consumed rafting numer-
ous prizes, and several hearts we're
made glad by being successful in
the contests. Next came the Xmas
tree, and a lovely and enchanting
object it was, trimmed and be-
decked with presents and candles.
Each present was numbered and
and was obtained by presenting a
ticket bearing the same number.
A considerable sum was realized in
the sale of the tickets for the Christ
mas tree, and also by the chances
taken in the rafting, which was do
mated to the Fairmount Catholic
church.
The crowning event of the even
ing was the contest for a beautiful
box of stationery, between Miss
Mary Rhorer and Miss Stella Hick-
man, these two young ladies being
recognized as the most popular
Votes were ten cents each, and the
little box brought 1898 80. The
contest waged was warm and Wig.
orous, and right valiantly did the
warrior boys stand to arms in fla.
vor of their favorite girls. His
lordship the Senator" from Cola,
led the clan on one side, and his
nodding plume was ever in the
thickest of the fray. The distinc'
ton was finally accorded to Miss
Stella Hickman, who received 1884
votes, while Miss Mary Rhorer re
ceived 1908 votes. The delicat'
vet momentous result was received
with applause.
| Afterward came the dancing, ant
for quite a while it was ION will
the Dance" etc, but finally fatigu
and weariness overcame our exu
[berant spirits, and ''tired nature
sweet restorer, balmy Sleep" wa
sought in obedience to the law tina
man must have rest.
| If we have in aught offended tn
young lady who was all but success
| full our Colfax boys humbly beg TO
full pardon, and if in the heat O
the contest we in the least over
stepped or violated the rules O
chivalry we respectfully tender th
amende honorable, and wish her
happy and prosperous New Year.
! Long may our worthy host an
hostess live to enjoy the sweets Q
life, and often may we have tn
good pleasure to find in the deseI
of our future existence like oasi
whereat we may regale our droor
, ing spirits and nerve withredouble
vigor for future effort.
Yours truly, BRET.
