THE Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way Company has issued calendar for
1889, which is one of the most attractive
souvenirs ever offered by railway COM
pany to its patrons. The picture is en-
graved by Lowell & Co., Boston, and
represents a scene on the coast of Maine,
where three children come from behind a
ledge of rocks and rush towards the
beach. 4 voice from distance warns
the younger child: "My darling, don't go
near the water" They turned each in
characteristic pose, and the little one re-
piled: "WhO's afraid" Copies OF this
piquant and rougish child-picture and cal
endar may be obtained for 25c in stamps

LAST week we Inadvertently ommitted
to make mention of the change of owner
ship of the Barnesville Enterprise and its

the only reason for the change. In his
retirement local journalism loses one OF
its most prominent characters, and the
profession clean and forcible writer.
The new editors have had long experience
in the Office, and during the past year have
had sole control of the COLUMNS Of the
paper. Under their management there
will be no retrogreSsion, but the paper
will be maintained at its present high

CONSIDERABLE drunkenness was in
dulged in here on election night, and the
day following, but for the most part, there
was good feeling. A few persons were
inclined to rowdyism, some of which took
shape in throwing of stones through the
windows of the Republican Club room,
while it was crowded with people, Tues
day night, hearing the returns. Fortu-
nately no one was struck, but the intent
was all the same, and the low-down peo-
pie who were guilty of the act deserve
and get the condemnation of all decent
people of all parties.
On Tuesday, a fracas occurred on the
street, in which VIM. Seidwitz, Jr., struck
John Wilkins a heavy lick in the face,
cutting his nose badly. The judgment of
the people who witnessed the trouble is
that it was wholly uncalled for.
