b@We are pleased 10 say that the
little daughter of Mr.. j. j. Cooper,
who has been so seriously. i'll is some
what better.
b@Some disappointment is mani
tested that Jones-Freeland by pleading
guilty of bigamy cheated the court
room attendants out of hearing some
spicy evidence.
sgThe Methodist Sunday School
. has had printed a revised catalogue of
its fine library. There are nearly 800
volumes in the collection now and all
readable books.
I@-The new library of 200 volumes
for Trinity Lutheran Sunday school
have been received and are being num-
bered and placed in the book case to-
day. They are all choice books.
gOur business men report that
spring trade is picking up more rapidly
than they had anticipated. Sales are
larger ON spring goods than they have
been during the past two seasons.
~"Old Subscriber. asks, "What
shall I do to cure insomnia?" Well
you might read the ''moral essays" In
the Chronicle. That would come
about as near putting you to sleep as
anything we know of.
B%C Chapman Courier: On last
Tuesday morning Mr.. o. L. Thisler, of
the Riverside Stock Farm, received
two fine Percheron horses from E.wOod,
Decalb county, Illinois. The horses
are beauties, and will be quite an addi-
ton to his fine stock farm.
GENT. and Mrs. John A. Russell
have returned to town. They have
been spending the winter at Rancho
Luzerne'', the farm of the latter's
father, l.. H. Lifts. in Newbern town.

nae. S. Thayer and Henry Cuth-
bert shipped east two cars of fine driv-
ing horses last night. The horses go
to Albany, New York, where they will
give the people at the Empire state
capital an idea of the handsome stock
to be found in the Lexington of the
West"
Mr.. D. Higgins is the latest can
didate for justice of the peace. Mr..
Higgins is an old soldier and staunch
Republican. AS will be seen in his
announcement he proposes to Garry on
the campaign on strict temperance
principles, fact which will doubtless
recommend him to the favor of the
ladies. If elected he will serve the
people acceptably.
gThe season of the year is coming
when the farm implements bought new
last year will be pulled out Of some
fence corner with about one half their
value rusted and rotted away, and the
stove, which has been in use all winter
will be dumped out of doors or in
damp cellar to be damaged by rust
three times as much as it was by fire
during the winter.
BIMr. E. r. Collins today an
nounces himself as a candidate for
justice of the peace at the coming
election. Mr.. Collins needs no intro
duction to Abileneites. He has long
resided here and is well known as a
man of reliable judgement and thor
ough uprightness. If elected he will
serve the people satisfactorily and will
deal out impartial justice to all.
R9The announcement of Judge J.
p. Quinn as a candidate for reelection
as justice of the peace is made today.
Mr.. Quinn, during his past terms of
Office, has fulfilled his duties with en-
inent satisfaction and conscientious
Ress. He is one of Abilene's most
respected citizens and there can be no
mistake made if the voters at the COM
ing election see fit to re-elect him to
the position for which he is candi-
date.
~'Itis the unexpected that hap
pens" The many friends in this CONF
nudity of E. D. Bullock, of Albu-
querque, n. NJ, will hold their breath
with varying emotions on learning of
the birth of ten-pound daughter. 1t
can scarcely cause additional surprise
that this little Mexican maiden mani
tests great precocity, breathes just as
naturally as life, and can already squall
in tive languages, as reported by her
doting papa.
s@ Judge r. n. Smith comes to the
front with the announcement of his
candidacy for reelection as justice of
the peace. Mr.. Smith has fulfilled the
duties of his position so ably during
the past term that it is probable that
he will have strong following in the
coming race. Mr.. Smith was one of
the first business men of Abilene and
stands today among the most respected
of our citizens. He deserves the sup
port of his friends.
