: Hart Boxley, of Casky, left for
California yesterday where he will
make his home, seeking his fortune
among the slopes OF the Pacific.
Next Tuesday is st. Valentines
day. Quite a number of balls and
. parties have been announced and ar
ranged.
Geurshom Cox and his little sister,
Susie, who have been seriously i'll,
for the past week, with pneumonia,
are much better and considered out
of danger.
The presence of policemen Bigger
staff and Wellington at the opera
house entrance Tuesday night was
highly beneficial, still they seem
little backward about insisting that
the by-standers should "move on"
A few Of these healthy suggestions
is what is needed, The great trou.
BILE is these and similar crowds have
been INDUCED too much, and when
ever they find that the police mean
business, why then II will be but
little trouble. We hope to see the
good work kept up, which will meet
with the approval ofall.
Attention is called to the adver-
tisement of Oscar Slaughter, who has
purchased the stock of j. d. Russell
and will close it out at great sacri-
flee as the house has to DO vacated
by March Let. Bargains can be had
" The seeda must be sold III only
fifty per cent. Of their value - .s-i- !
lied. The earlier you call the great
or will be the variety from which to
choose. Mr.. Chas. Slaughter, for
merly with NJ. Frankel & Sons, is
manager and would be pleased to
see his old friends aud customers.
We learn with regret the serious
illness of Mr. John w. Cooper, who
was thrown from his buggy, near
Wallonia, some weeks ago and Sc
riously injured. AT first his injuries
were thought to be slight but it de-
veloped that he had hip and sever
al ribs broken and he has had several
attacks Of paralysis also since the &C.
cident and 1t is feared that he will
not recover. He is at the home of
his father-in-law, William Wharton,
near Cadiz, and the best medical
aid Is IN attendance. 1t is
to be hoped that his strong consti-
tuition will Withstand tho intense
suffering he is now undergoing and
that he may ultimately recover.
We noticed Tuesday morning the
crowd that gathered around the min
strel parade rather monopolized the
pavement in front of Messrs. Gar
ner's, Latham's and Bush's much to
the discomfort OF the ladies who were
passers by. The Chief of police
helped couple of ladies through and I
brought little pressure to bear upon |
some of the blockaders, but still
there was no regular passway open
There is an ordinance against block a
ing up the pavements, and the police j
have the right to keep them clear.
No blockade should occur at any d
time, and we do not believe any sem r
lible person who happened to be in u
The way would get offended if he b
were made to give room.
Coal thieves are sill in our midst.
They are SO sharp in their manoeu-
1erings that II is almost impossible
o catch or down them. There is
hardly night that they do not get a
n moro or less OF their work. Their
'lan Is to watch the special police .
