equals in entertainments of this nature.
The first "home made" new potatoes we
have. eaten this season came from John New

unusually large and fine-in fact, we have
never seen better anywhere. So large that,
were it not for their ''scraping' skins, one
could scarcely help believing they were of
the last years crop. Mr.. Newman will please
accept our thanks for a basket of this
aground fruit"-our favorite of all veget-
ables.

himself as candidate for treasurer of Iron
county, subject of course to the Democratic

safe business man and is endowed with quail
ifications that peculiarly fit him for the office
that he asks.

Spitzmiller's shop he led the mule across the

paid the marshal fee of 70 cents. He hands
US the following to publish: "Hard times
at Pilot Knob. If you want cheap horse
shoeing go to Pilot Knob. You can get it
there. But lookout for the marshal, or you
will have to pay him seventy.fve cents be-
fore you get out of the town."
