CHIPS FROM THE CHOPPER.

Claudon looks up to Jimmy.
And Satan said let there be Nukum
and there was Nukum.
San Antonio may not have many
great things, but one thing 1t has got
a sober city clerk-to get.
The administration has an organ al
last. 1t can now dump its rot into
Nukum's sewer.
When whiskey is in, wit is out
This accounts for the vacancy in the
city clerks office.
If the fire in the Flopper's nose was
distributed over his body he could
pass the winter in fig leaf.
The very flesh of Nukum's carcass
emits the odor of a diseased mind.
Buzzard-like he cannot smell him
self.
Callaghan now carries the key OF
the safe, while the saloon keepers
carry the key of Claudon, -whis-key.
If the .Flopper was "boiled out" a
postage stamp would make him all
overcoat, and he would have to en-
ploy boy to keep people from STEP
ping on him.
If some one would stick a pin in
that pimple, Nukum, what an erup.
ton there would be of bile, slime and
vermiculated putridity!
Since the Hopper lost those one
hundred dollars, hisOner permits him
to handle only the whisky money. He
puts that, however, where it does the
most good.
Lost.-Between the elevator and the
Elite, the Flopper's brains. Of no use
to anybody. A blade of Johnson grass
is offered for their return to
B. RYAN.
Nukum has set his matchmaking
trap, and certain candidates are step
ping into it as innocently as Claudon
takes water on the outside. The PEG.
pie will not be trapped, however.

never reformed any soul or righted
any Wrong. It seldom arises from
any feeling OF outraged propriety,
although it may assume to seek this
air. When idleness weeds envy,
gossip is their offspring. Yet lam
surprised to see how many busy and
industrious minds find time to enter
tain this unworthy guest. 4 have
made resolution which / would like
to embody in an organized society,
and call it the Anti. Gossip Club
The resolution is this: Whoever
speaks i'll IF another person to mt
must meet that person in my pres
ence within a weeks time and repea1
the words, thus giving the accused
an opportunity to defend, explair
or reform his error. I think a few
experiences Of this kind would detel
people from coming TO US with un
kind gossip"

Durham and Oxford.

Durham sends warm greetings to
oxford, upon the fatteriDg prospects
of the early completion of the exten.
sion of the Oxford & Clarksville rail.
road, to this place. The last issue OF
the oxford 1orchliQht commenting
upon this work says: "This contract
calls for the completion Of the road
by August the first To do this.
work will have to begin at once and
be carried on with great rapidity.
The contractors are men Of experience
and ability, and we have no doub.
but that they will fulfill their contract
to the letter. This will put Oxford
on an equal footing with the other
tobacco markets OF the State, and
this is all we ask. We have always
stood among the first, notwlthstand-
ing the fact that our freight facilities
have been almost the poorest in the
State. Now with the Oxford 3
ClarBsville railroad, and the exten.
sion to Durham, our facilities will
equal those Of any of our sister mar
kets. With these and other advan
tages in the way of internal improve
ments, we do not deem it too great
an estimate to say that Oxford will
double its population during the
next two years"
Durham wishes Oxford all success
and the completion of this road will
be but another strong tie between us

THE LOSS OF A MOTHER.

FOR the Recorder.
Oh words how vain is your power;
You cannot clothe into speech,
The cry Of the broken heart.
Its too deep for language to each.
Life is q warisome burden
Since our Mothers smile has gone,
Oh what is all the world to me
Since the light Of her presence has
flown! 8
The flowers have lost their SWEET
perfume.
The song Of the birds fall dull on
my ears
And my life which was once joyous
song,
Has become sea Of tears.
Oh! where is the hand that smoothed
my brow
In the hour Of pain and distress,
Oh where is the voice that whisper
ed aGood night r.
, As | lay me down to rest.
Obi what is home without Mother?
Oh! what are its pleasures to me
Oh! where is the sweetest approving
smile
As she joinecin our innocent glee?
In that acity that looks Ger the val
ley of death"
~ !. n
Whose JOY can never can meyer be
told
Where the longing heart il satisfied,
When the dross is refined from
the gold.
It is there, / shall hear again my
Mothers voice
That whispered my "Dear one,
Good night
! Welcoming to the courts Of Heaven,
Where falls no shades Of night.
Yes out through thepearly gates
When / reach that city fgold
/ Ishallbear again myMother's GOOD
morning"
