THE TWO FATHERS.

mind me OF two kind old men,
And both to good Intentions bent,
With genial smile and hearty grasp,
And much to life its Joys they lent
And oft to see my wife and I
They'd come to chat, and Joke, and dine.
Dear loving fathers; gone, alasl
And one was hers and one was mine
Their minds were just exactly one,
These good old fashioned, gentle creatures
they never told the same joke twice,
Nor failed TO watch each others features
To note the proper time TO laugh,
And wife md would watch these fine
Old fathers, In their harmless mirth,
For one was hers, and one was mine.
They'd talk about the herds and crops,
And often tell their old time stories,
OF Landlord Jones, the taverner,
OF trainings, l~ectious, Wings and Tories
And wife and l the evening through
Would listen to their talk till nine,
And then they'd bid us both adieu,
For one was hers, and one was mine.
They could not live alone, and so
They walked along life's way together,
And hand in hand they graveyard went
And slipped the coil of earthly tether.
They clasped their hands in mute farewell
And clasped again where glortes shine,
While wife and l together wept
For both were hers, and both were mine.
There are two graves on yonder hill,
And side by side the fathers lie,
Their jokes are hushed, the mirth has flown,
And softly each has said "Good by
To earthly friends, and earthly homes
And wife and l just sit and pine,
For these old gents, our fathers once,
And one was hers, and one was mine.

A wealthy cottager had been to see
the surf, and got a ducking from a big
wave. He therefore started for home
on one of the terrible electric cars,
which the cottagers so bitterly oppose.
When the conductor came around he
fumbled in his pockets for money to
pay his fare, but in vain. The con
ductor offered TO pay the fare out of
his own pocket and trust his passenger
for repayment. The offer was accept
ed, and the indebted party asked the
conductor where he could be found,
to which the reply was given that he
was either on the cars or at the car
house most of the time.
This did not satisfy him, and he
wanted to know where he lived, as he
said his benefactor should be well paid
for his trouble. so he was, for
when he arrived ne at breakfast
the next morning he found a nice, fat
letter awaiting him, and was greatly
surprised upon opening it, for folded
in a large sheet of paper, without a
word wiitted on it, which gave the en-
velope a bulky appearance, there
rested asingle nickel, the fare charged
on the car On the exterior of the
envelope was the name of the man for
whom the favor had been done.-Prov-

The storm.

Last Teusday the wind blew perfect hur-
ricane here. Fences, out-houses, stovepipes,
etc., were hurled around town at lively
rate, and had the country not been cut up by
the hills, the entire town would probably
hove been blown away. Wednesday it rained
some and Thursday it rained and showed a
little. Yesterday morning there was over
two inches of snow on the ground here, and
higher up, in the hills, there must now be
several feet of snow. There will be no lack
of water next Summer for milling and agri-
cultural purposes until late in the season, and
had reservoirs been constructed at the head
of the Carson last Summer water would have
been plenty until the snow comes next Fall.
The snow has come in good time to stay on
the mountains, and the indications are that
more snow will be piled up there before the
storm is over.

cheap as you can buy in Carson and Virginia,

skin coats, etc., they have not for sale, but
almost anything else can be found among
their assortment Of goods. Go and look at
the new things that are arriving at both
places daily. If you do not see what you
want, ask for it. If ii is then not forthcom-
ing you have an excuse to send away for it.

Randall vs.. Barton.

Last Friday George P. Randall brought
| suit against Mrs. George Barton. proprie-
tress OF the Dayton and Virginia Stage Line,
| to recover the sum of $44 due him for black
smithing and wagon work. John Lothrop
appeared as counsel for plaintiff and Chas.
E. Mack for defendant. The case came up
for trial in Justice Hawkins Court last Mon
day, and upon an error of counsel for plain
tiff was thrown out of Court. Mrs. Barton
was sued as a sole trader, but when the case
came up il was ascertained that she was not
sole trader, although the stage line prop
erty stands in her name. Attorney Lothrop
therefore moved to amend the complaint by
inserting the name of George Barton, hus-
band of the proprietress of the line. This
motion was objected to by counsel for de-
fendant, and the Judge sustained the objec-
lion. The defense as the case was brought
in, would have been that Mrs. Barton did
not owe Randall anything, as she had never
contracted with him to do any work. Mr..
Barton had ordered the work done, and as
he was not made a party to the complaint
there was no case. Randall will bring suit
again, and believes he will get off on the
right foot next time.

Conservatism VS.. the Rage for Nov
elites.

The Seed Annual for 1890, issued by d.
M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Michigan, has
reached our table. Its cover this year is es-
pecially artistic and attractive, and its con-
tents as usual, interesting and instructive.
Ferry's seeds are thoroughly reliable, and
always come true. The directions given in
the Annual for the cultivation Of both flowers
and vegetables are so full and explicit that
no one can fail of success who uses their
seeds and follows the instructions.
D. M. Ferry q Co., are very conservative,
both in offering new sorts and in their claims
for them when offered; but they take pains
to inform themselves as to the true character
of all new varieties, so if some much lauded
novelties are not found in the Annual, the
probability is they have tested them and
found them of no value.
A request sent to the firm at Detroit, Mich
igan, will bring you copy of the Seed An.
nual for 1890 by return mail.

people liable to the pains and aches of rheu-
matism dread every change to damp OIL
stormy weather. Although Hoods Sarsa-
parila is not claimed to be positive specific
for rheumatism, the remarkable cures it has
effected show that it may he taken for this
complaint with reasonable certainty of bene-
fit. Its action in neutralizing the acidity OF
the blood, which is the cause of rheumatism,
constitutes the secret of the success of Hood 5
