Daily Observations !

There was lively row at the Salvation
Army social last night, caused by severa
men going to the hall drunk. A littl
vigorous enforcement of the law would
be good thing on men who make ;
point of disturbing such gatherings 49,.
A short time ago Will Nealy purchased
a fifty-dollar Remington shotgun OF
Tripp &Ridenour. Some of the boys al
the Store were talking of Willis hunting
exploits tonight, when we inquired oi
Mr.. Tripp what number of rabbits had
been reported as having been slain by
Wills new gun. The reply was that just
one rabbit had been killed to date. Rab-
bits at fifty dollars apiece are certainly
luxurious eating. ...... An effort was
made to work on the Nail Mill to-day,
but only the timers could work any.
u. s. Baker says he saw in some paper
the statement that the pistol with which
Luke Jones killed Anderson Laekey is
on exhibition at the Penitentiary. Jim

Luke used on that occasion, as he pur-
chased the pistols of both Luke and Bill.

gray. He states that quite a number of
his customers, of forty years ago are still
