Patronize your county paper for
the following reasons: l. Because
it is county paper, dealing with
local and county news, in which you
are, or should be interested. q. Be-
cause your subscription increases the
circulation and value Of the paper.
3. Because no company or editor can
make frst-class paper without the
patronage and support of the people.
3. For the reason that you can't af-
ford as a citizen to ignore such an
enterprise as good, newsy, county
paper, so send in your name at once
An extra row of cotton or potatoes
will secure it for your family. Try
it at once.

SYSTEM-A PLACE FOR EVERY
THING.


Order, convenience and simplicity
in arranging a working place and in
transacting all business ought to be
carefully observed. A crowded he'll
ter-skelter condition of things makes
daily labor irritating and uncomfort-
able; while ease, in getting and using
any implement or material, expedites
its execution ~nd consequently in
creases the profits of the business.
Perhaps there is no qualification in
which the average so-called business
man is so much lacking, as in this
methodic, systematic, orderly ar
rsngement and transaction OF his
business. Occasionally one is found
in whom this valuable trait is strong
ly developed, and neatness, order,
and dispatch mark his every act.
With some it is innate, with others il
is neither Unborn nor acquired; YET
it can be cultivated, and should be-
by every one. liza little more atten.
ton was given to the acquisition o.
this disposition, there would be less
worry and trouble, less confusion ans
less failures, less dissatisfaction Will

The fools are not all dead, but they
are dying off rapidly. One Of the
recent departures Of this class was
that OF CHARLES Sullivan, of Buffalo,
n. Y. To settle dispute as to the
relative height of two church spires
in the city he volunteered to climb
each and measure it with a wire.
When he had assembled st Micbal's
church to a height of over 100 feet
the lightning rod to which he was
holding broke and he fell on the roof
and was crushed into shapeless
mass of flesh. 1t is now time tor
some other crank to jump off the
Brooklyn bridge, or plunge over Nj
agara. Fortunately society suffers
little from the result Of such expert
meats.

TWAS EVER THIS.

A newspaper and newspaper editor
that people don't criticise and some
times abuse are poor concerns. The
men that an editor sometimes feels il
his duty to defend at the risk of max
ing enemies of another class are the
first to show ingratitude. The editor
who expects to receive too much
charity or gratitude will soon find
out his mistake.
1t has been very truly said that if
an editor makes a mistake in his pa
per, all the world sees it and calls
him fool. When private citizen
makes q mistake nobody knows it ex-
cept few friends and they come
around and ask the editor to keep it
out of the paper. When a private
citizen dies the editor is asked to
write of his good qualities and keep
the bad out. But when the editor
dies the private citizen says; "Now
that aarned liar will get his Just de-
serts."
Ii your local paper happens to
tread on your toes little in the per-
Torrance of It's mission, don't get
your back up and abuse the editor,
but stop and take good breath and
think tor a season and see if you
can't remember some of the favors
and kindness it has shown to you in
the past. Then reflect that it may
not be long before you want some "a

A. spring in Lewis county, w. Va,
is attracting much attention by its
peculiar freaks. A great volume OF
water issues from the ground, and is
propelled to height Of rs feet by
gas, the noise Of the escaping gas and
water being heard for miles around.
AT times the water suddenly disap-
pears, leaving a dry hole of alleged
Questionable depth, and hours, even
days, elapse before it reappears At
night an ignited match thrust into the
water will cause display of flashing
light which is sac to be exquisitely
beautiful. The spring was a result
OF the earthquake of 1856 and if it is
as wonderful as it is alleged to be, it
is somewhat singular that this is tho
first that has been heard of it out
side OF its immediate vicinity.

AS one soweth- so shall he reap.
In no department of life need one
expect nickel investments to yield
double eagle results. Prosperity is
broad-gauge institution, and it can
not run on contracted and crooked
way. The tide which bears people
on to fame and fortune does not flow
in through gimlet holes. A frantic
grip upon the spigot causes many a
man to be drowned from the bung.

While shearing sheep ut ChatfeId,
Mimi, last week, son of ID. Hisey
noticed something peculiar about the
appearance of q sleeps tongue and,
calling his fathers attention to the
fact, the sheep was caught and ex-
amined. Upon opening It's mouth it
was seen that ring OF some kind
was around the sleeps tongue. Az
ter few moments 1T was taken off
and found to be a solid gold ring,
with handsome set, valued at about
". How the ring came on the
sleeps tongue will probably remain
a mystery, as it had been there some
time, being deeply imbedded in the
flesh. That is the kind of sheep to
raise.

IT Is WELL TO REMEMBER.

That SANDER, like mud, dries and
falls off.
That to wait and be patient soothes
many pang.
That all are not princes who ride
with the emperor.
That correction is good when adj
ministered in season.
That it takes a great deal Of grace
to be able to bear praise.
That you will never have a friend
if you must have one without fail
ings.
That to have what we want is to
be rich, but to be able to DO without
is power.
That there is no limit to the age at
which a man may make fool of
himself.
That the roses of pleasure seldom
last long enough to adorn the brow
Of those who pluck them.

In Vera Cruz a man committed
suicide by jumping from the steeple
Of a church. He first threw down
his hat, called on those below to get
out of the way, and then, balancing
himself on his hands with his feet on
the top of the clock, dived of into
space. Most of his bones were brok-
en-, and yet he moved some little
time AFTER the fall.

Mcmahon Elected.

The CHRONICLE is gratitied 10 announce
the election OF p. L. Mcmahon to the
Office Of superintendent Of schools, even
by so small majority as three votes.
While we were somewhat disappointed
in the matter Of McMahon's majority.
we are none the less pleased at his
election and since it has transpired
that the Buffalo Gap News only reached
few Of the voters outside of that place
previous TO the election, our surprise
has been materially lessened; a. it was
upon the supposition that the paper
would be generally circulated among
the voters Of tho county prior to the
election, that our estimate Of his najori-
ty was based.
1t is now fairly conceded fact, that
without the assistance Of the News
McMahon would have met defeat The
method employed by the News, purport
ing TO be In the interest of Bower, but
strictly in the interest Of Mcmahon,
may be considered somewhat novel in
character. but no one can fail to realize
the fact Of It's being effective and if Mr..
Mcmahon should fail TO show his ap-
probation Of the substantial service
rendered, by naming Shaver for the
priucipalship in one Of the leading
schools OF the county we shall at once
admit that we have sadly over-estmated
the magnanimitv Of the man.
Now that Mr. Mcmahon has been
elected, the people Of Custer county
may feel assured that there will be no
diminution in the number Of schools,
nor Will there be q less degree of inter
est manifested in educational affairs
than there has been in the past. The
fears, if auy, melted by tie News, Of his
conducting the office in the interest Of
any church denomination may {, once
be L,spcl,eI, and discarded as scnseless
vuPoT emitted rom morbid mind for
the purpose Of defeating his election.
The drive wheel Of school progress in
Custer county will continue to revolve
without jar, or the slip piping of a single
cog, and while it may not require so
much fabrication as IL has III the past,
may nevertheless be reasonably expected
to roll right along, without material, or
even perccptibe change.

Reported Strike.

1t is reported that rich body of ore
has been reached by the Diamond drill
at the Iron Hill mine, and that tunnel
is now being run to tap the same. 1t is
TO be earnestly hoped that this newly
found bonanza may prove more exten-
sive than those formerly encountered,
and that it may be as extensive Us it is
reported to be rich in quality. We
notice 40 perceptible change in stock
quotations in consequence Of the re-
ported strike, hence we conclude that
undue excitement will be suppressed
until the extent Of the ore body has
been more definitely demonstrated.

July Fourth.

Next Wednesday, July 4th, will be q
red letter day in Custer; her broad
streets will be crowded with people from
every camp in the Hills. The valleys
will be represented in force, as prepar-
ations have not been made at any of the
valley towns to extensively celebrate
the day. The mining camps will, very
naturally, be largely represented at the
headquarters for all mining operations
in the southern Hills. The outlook for
the largest attendance ever witnessed at
any former celebration of the day Of
days in this city is very promising in
deed ana that the means and facilities
for enjoyment Will be ample, there is
every reason 10 believe. The commit
tee, TO whose charge ali the varied ar
rangemenis have been consigned, have
given their undivided attention to the
perfection Of every plan in detail, which
could lend additional enjoyment, or add
in any degree TO the measure of the
enjoyment Of the occasion.
The music, supplied by the Custer
Cornet band, under whose auspices the
celebration will be solely conducted,
will be an enjoyable feature of the oc-
casion, and the grand ball at night
promises to be a social event of the most
enjoyable character.

coming celebration in Custer. Come
