Mr.. ID. Ferguson was among our
callers last Saturday. He was the
Government census enumeration for
Salem township and concluded his
work last week. He says he found it
a very tiresome and an unremunera-

clined to think his questions imperti-
nent, but he was everywhere treated
with courtesy and respect.
The first peaches to come to market,
unlike the proverbial singed cat, look
much better than they are. They are
large and highly colored, and they
look sound and luciOus. But, alas,

the apartments already taken. 1t Is
hoped that the later varieties will not
be so disappointing.

1t was estimated i'm Congress that
the new pension bill which we print
this week would require an appropria-
ton of about S40,OOO,OO year. Our
guess is that it will require more near
1y S1O0, 0OO,0O0. 1t Is an exceedingly
liberal bill and we have not yet found
an old soldier who Is not satisfied with
it.
We neglected to note at the proper
time that w. A. Cummings, J. p. has

where he may now be found ready to
the best variety of law at
any hour of the day or night.
The game of ball between Humboldt

will be played, however.
