An exchange very prettlly repri-
mauds the pessimist as follows:
..Tbe chemically unhappy man, who
persists in trying to sour humanity,
should get him to his closet with
his woes, and give the sunshine a
chance warm his neighbors."

NEARLY all the Post scholarship
girls have been writing back that

OK Main street Friday morning
West Elgin, hostler for Mr.. Thos.

Headforemost, consequently not
hurt.
WITHIN the next two or three
weeks recruiting officer from the
third Cavalry will locate here to get
recruits for the q. S. Army. The
splendid showing made by the Bren-
ham militia at the State encamp-
ment was perhaps the cause of a re-
cruiting officer being ordered to
Brennan, knowing that a town of

and sweeter joys until the day star
of hope has appeared upon their
future horizon and they form a purer
