This has been an eventful week in
Lamar, made up of anxiety, work,
pleasure and excitment. Early Mon
day morning the ladies' of Lamar who
| are the most loyal and patriotic when
ever our citys welfare is at stake,
were arranging the tables and load
ing them with the substanclals and
dainties prepared by themselves, and
at twelve o'clock they threw open
the doors at the Diamond Front and
annouced dinner ready for Prowers
county. 1t was good dinner, free
dinner and q pleasant sociable time.
The tables were crowded for two
hours, when they were cleared and
| the hall soon crowded to hear the
speakers Judge Ely, of Pueblo, Z. e.
Goodale, o. G. Hess, A. NJ. Nicholas,
b. b, Brown, c. B. Thoman and 9TH
era. who discussed the county seat
question, reviewing the history OF the
county and towns and showing why
Lamar should be made the county
seat. The meeting did not adjourn
until seven o'clock and then 1t was
only to prepalr for the work OF the
next day.
The campaign was well planned
| and executed to perfection. In some
cases sacrifices were made, but the
result was the desired end. Enough
| had been learned by nine O'Clock
Tuesday night to put Lamar IN a
good humor, bon fires were started
and the hurrahs were loud and long.
Wednesday morning by ten o'clock
it was settled that Lamar had been

ed and celebrated individually col

A Delightful Dinner Hour.

The development Of the art of CONVERSE
ton has been gradual and very delightful
in home in Boston, composed of several
children, whose parents having been able
to give them every advantage now enjoy
the fruits Of them. One or two illustra-
tons I may be pardcned for giving. The
dinner hour is always q lengthy one.
When the people were younger than now
they had various ingenious devices for the
hour. A given state would be agreed
upon and the names of places mentioned
in alphabetical order-no one to name O.
place unless certain Of its location, proper
way of spelling and pronunciation. Some
times one letter would last two evenings,
the attempt to puzzle one another adding
Zest. At another time characters in his
tory were taken; all information possible
to be obtained, so that questioning was
always in order. The best choice of Ian
guage was required. All this never mon
opolized the lighter table talk-anecdotes,
conundrums, jokes, all coming in for
their full share.
This could be put in practice in any
family Of young children. Not only does
such a custom combine useful kno.Vl-
edge with pleasure, but cultivates the
spirit of kindly courtesy-the giving way
to one another. We should try not to
bring our anXieties, cares and vexations
into the family life if it can possibly be
avoided-not our fault findings with each
other or our neighbors, or the unpleasant
rumors of the street.-Ellen Bliss Hooker

The courtiers turned red, turned white;
No use if they had stammered, lieil
Aghast they dei his wrathful sight.
Kings die quick when kings go mad;

The sterling drama presented at the
court house on Thursday evening by the
Custer Dramatic Troupe, proved an at,
t~ractive card, and was greeted with
many expressions of favor. The play
abounds in situations of the most thrill
ing character, which were faithfully and
wildly portrayed, and we regret that q
lack of space prevents the extended
mention it deserves, and which would
otherwise have been given it. The
leading characters were exceptionally
well sustained, and the minor characters
quite acceptably presented and we be
lieve it would be no ex%ageration to SAY
that the rendition af the play, taken a>
a whole, reached "A standard of excel
lence rarely attained by ameteur per
formers.
The proceeds Of the entertainment
while We are not informed as to the
exact amount, must have been large
and satisfactory to the church society
in whose benefit the performance was
given.

Mica Mining.

The White Spar Mica mine, located
a mile and a half south of this city, is
again in active operation. Mr.. +. A.
Scales, Of Minneapolis, principal owner
and superintendent of the mine, arrived
in this place on Monday, and on We'd
nesday put a small force at work, which
will be increased in a few days, when
the cutting house has been completed
and the mine placed in workin. order.
1t is the intention of the company to
continue operations indefinitely, or as
long as the mine can be made to yield
profitable returns, which, judging from
the present favorable outlook, will be
many years. 1t is very gratifying to
chronicle the revival of this local in
dustry which at a former period in our
history was classed among the most
important of the place, which
by reason Of combination Of adverse
circumstances, in keeping with the
m%utability Of mining affairs, has been
utterly ignored for years, without an
effort being made to turn the valuable
mineral to profitable account. The sue
cess Of this individual enterprise is
greatly to be desired, as upon the issu,
hinges the general revival of an in
dustry of much importance to the Black
Hills, and especially to this city, in clos,
proximity to which the principal de
posts are chiefly located.

extremely unsafe to leave their wagons
In the street, even for a moment, on
account of the presence Of loose horses,

prowling around for the purpose of
plumber. One farmer informs us that
his loss in this direction has been quite

tents, he has had tw~enty-seven grain
sacks literally chewed up. If that

Kidding the city of this nuisance, so
