Eureka Items.

We ought not to tell tales out OF school,
but sometimes there are som, things that
happen that are too good to be kept secret.
A certain young man had been at "a soci-
able few Saturday nights ago, and was
sleeping till a late hour on Sunday morn
ing, and his father went to his room door
to call him up to breakfast, when the old
man discovered that the young man was
talking in his sleep, and caught the fol-
lowing sentence: 20, darling, why not
answer me tonight Say, o, why not to-
night?" The young man was not dis
turbed in his happy dreams.
Another young man in our community
has given notice that he is going to get a
new buggy at an early day. And We
overheard a conversation the other day,
land we could not help it; We could not
run out of hearing or stop our ears either
one would have been impolite under the
the circumstances,) between two of our
worthy young ladies, in which they made
ga bet" which one would get to ride in the
new buggy first. We wait patiently to see
which one will win. Young man, watch
out, remember this is leap year. You
know not what that new buggy will result
in9 You might be won yourself.
We have in our community, and have
had over year, lone Of the biggest things
of the Sort" perhaps in our County. And
we believe it has and is still doing great
good among our young people, adding to
their refinement, dignity of manners, and
giving them a spirit Of modest boldness.
We refer to the Eureka Reading Club, Of
which Mr.. W. F. Anderson is the honored
President, and Miss F. Ellie King the hon
ored Vice President for the present month.
It is carried on in a manner every way
worthy and commendable to the young
people of Eureka, and indicates to our
mind noble spirit of bition to fit them
selves for the social and business depart.
ments of life, and for higher and more
polished refinement and intelligence. The
very best of order and attention prevail
during the exercises. There is nothing
silly or child-like connected with it, 1t is
an hour or more of good schooling. We
take pleasure in recommending such a
society to all young people. The next
meeting of the club will be at Mr.. James
Keown's, at which Misses Carrie Pearman,
Jevattu Keown and Amanda I. Robbins
and Messrs. II. M. Geer, W. C. Pearman
and Alonzo Keown, will read select pieces.
1t has been said, and that truly, that
order is the first law of Heaven. There is
nothing that adds 80 much to the beauty
and success of all organizations as order
and system, and especially should order
and system be the first law of all school
rooms. When that is the case we-need
not be uneasy about the result.
Me- Hattie Quails, of Lebanon, is
spending a few days in our community
visiting the family Of Mr.. W, ]. Robbins,

of Mr.. Robbins family are good subjects

The new steam corn mill erected by Mr..

general satisfaction.
"The astrologers, 'star-gazers, !" 'moon
observers, "and monthly prognosticators"
of this community, now stand up and say
that the cold weather for the present win.
ter is all passed, and that the farmers made
a great mistake in not sowing red oats
extensively last autumn. Why did they
not tell us in time?
