aye scribe" seems 10 think "Observer" is
lady; he is hitting in the dark, and, no
doubt, thinks he is putting it in center, but
every stroke has missed the aim. "Observ-
er" only wishes he was one of the fair sex
or could claim one at least. Your humble
correspondent stands as many feet in his
boots as ''ye scribe," and If he can't hear lis
brains rattle like pumpkin seeds in gourd.
he does know few things. We did not pur-
pose to get into newspaper war when we
wrote the first article for the REGISTER, land
simply because we say BlackRiyer news don't
interest us Belleview people. "Llew-el-lyn"
flies off his little two by four box, and abuse
innocent young ladies that had nothing to do
with it. Next time, "Llew -el-lyn," find out
| that you are right, then sail in.
News is scarce in our village. Will leave
the country news for eye scribe's" benefit.
Everything is quiet, painfully SO, since the
election.
We wonder what great attraction there is
| in The south part Of the village, as our friend,
Mr.. L., averages about three trips a day.
OBSERVER.
Ed. Register Ho! Here I come from
Y Roads, and "Observer" included.
Since my last we have had some very rough
weather. Coasting has been the pasiime for
| the past two weeks, and we never saw sleig0-
ing any better; but 1t is a thing OF the past
| and the sleighs must stand for the time be-
ing.
We are sorry that "Grann!" is going 10
retire from the staff, but since it is fact we
wish her good luck and happy future. 1t
was "Llewellyn's F" intention to retire for a
while, but since "Observer" stated that a
queus must be formed on the part of
"Llewellyn" if she correspouded TO the REG
IsTER, he does not feel disposed to stop at
this, but will trouble you, Mr.. E., for an in-
definite time. as U01 popult suprenla le1 est0.
When the other city folk come we will show
| these rural district people how TO write to
| the REGISTER. We would say that it would
DE well for "Obseryer" to subscribe for the
REGISTER, for the last accounts your scribe
had was that she had sent all over town %
get The paper to read. Come out 10 Cedar
Greek; "Llewelyn" will lend you his.
The Belleview correspondent began 10 state
Y Roads news so true in January, 1888.
| On "Llewelyn" was her article begun,
Which ruled a few lines, then the Union
some,
| Then the B. L. c., WE make so interesting,
thus and so,
| When behold! in two places comes some
thing about the MOors.
There is work for all to do
Just measure by the golden rule
That part which is set for you;
And then with the line of right,
And in every article to the REGISTER of
yours,
oh, try 20 keep your honor bright.
There have been several parties on Cedar
Greek since my last. One at Nj. Cam ooer''s,
Mr.. Hughes and Imboden's.
Mr.. Thos. Buford has been quite SICK, but
at this writing is conyalescing.
Quite large party of our citizens took a
hunt last week. We haven't been informed
as to their success, but suppose it was about
as usual, game not being very plentiful.
Oh, yes, Mr.. T. NJ, we have found out
who that was you took on your tour out
west last Sunday. Sleighs did run fine that
day.
Mr.. John Goggin, ST., and James Black, of
Black p. o., were in Y Roads this week.
They report plenty of sickness in that vicin-
lily.
Mr.. Samuel Thompson, of Black, is in our
town ready 10 be enrolled in the High School.
More students from Black and hence more
items about Black that will give o. another
chance.
Mr.. Phelps has turned the western route
over to Mr.. Carly, who will commence this
week to ride for Uncle Sam.
