able that there is really some truth in them,
although the general dullness of news pro-
vokes fabrication of this kind. Rumor

Just a twelve month gone, to
the very hour. with dark skies

meath, we wrote 1880. Liv-
ing, active, pushing, we salute
thee"
The ink seems hardly dry,
when the same hand, pursuing
our familiar advertising way
finds imminent the welcome
duty Of another New Year
greeting.
In respect of business the
old year went out with a golden
sunset. The hopes of its dawn
ing were fulfilled at it's close.
For that we are grateful, very,
but dissatisfied, hopefully dis
satisfied.
When we started this as a
General Store thirteen years
ago, we builded better than we
knew. The community was
not ready for the movement
until we were understood.
When we acre comprehended,
every forward step in our
march was upon solid ground,
until the variety of the business
and the volume Of the sales
came to be far beyond the
highest fancy Of our early days.
Each years increase would be
a great business in itself, and
1850 takes proud rank in the
glorious company of successful
years.
With the assured experience
Of success, aoe kuoao. Tenta-

Therefore we are hopefully dis

about newspaper patronage to the pa

a democratic paper would get it, and at
full legal rates. When republicans
bestow public patronage upon demo
cratic newspapers, it strengthens
them and the party principles that they
advocate. The councilmen should 60

eight miles northeast of the city, was
helping shell corn he met with pain
full accident. The shelter was in mo-
ton and young Kountz, who is about
81 years of age, was fixing the machin-
cry when his left hand was caught in
a cog wheel and fearfully msngled.
Two of the fingers were crushed into
shapeless mass, while the others were
more or less injured. Under the care
OF DR.. King tie wound was dressed
and is getting along well. 1t is hoped
that the young man will be able to
have the use of at least two fingers on
the injured hand.

MANY FAMOUS HOUNDS.

beyond the sound of Fl. Riley's loud
voiced artillery, their ears were saluted
with the deep sonorous baying of Mr..
Nash's operate troup of CANNES, from
the low basso of bull-pup BOZ to the
high keyed treble of MRS, Fan"
Mr.. Nash was ever noted as a lover
of the chase, and to emphasize his
sporting prociivities kept an immense
pack of frcm forty to sixty hounds and
hunting dogs, celebrated for speed.

Boz and Don, 'mongrel, puppy, whelp

DICKINsON's FIRST TOWN.

Newport was undoubtedly the first
town and had the distinction Of being
the first seat of government of DIckin-
son county; at least it was so claimed
by It's originator. Although never hon
ored with session of the district court,
it did have one or more sessions OF the
county commissioners, where the first
business of the county was transacted.
Evanescent, like many of its prototypes
in this great west, the town of Newport
(fguratively speaking) arose, fOurished
and declined in day, suggesting to the
proprietor the melancholy remark of
Cardinal Wolsey, Farewell, long
farewell to all my greatness"
Mr.. Nash had also the distinguished
honor of receiving a government ap-
pointment-that Of postmaster for his
new town and to defeat the parsimony
of the government in neglecting to
erect postofice building he supplied
the deficiency by allotting depart
ment in the upper story of his plug hat
for postoffice purposes, free of rent.
For this distinguished mark Of enter
prise he was ever after regarded by his
neighbors as broad-guaged man and
model postmaster, always found at
his Office ready to respond to the de-
mands of his patrons.
