Enron CniKFrAIg; There has been 80 much
said, through your columns, In regard TO the
yinlta and Coaeyyllie road, that u nov be-
hooses us TO give some facts In the case. AZ
there are some people who do rot know but
these articles ARE :true-for Instance. the re-
port Of the committee printed last week We
do not question the veraclty OF said commit
tee, but we DO think that they we're made a
"cats-paw' Of by NJ. FrRzee, who approached
them. one by one, as he does everyone else, In
his usual confidential manner and represented
himself as victim OF malice. thereby enlist
Ing their sympathy. We do hold malice
against NJ. Frazeei IT is n question Of onr
rights and not Of his coyetousness.
The committee says; "we find there are
three routes offered TO the public around N.
fraEee's farm" This assertion (Which Is usI.
truel must have emnnnted from NJ Frazee.
The road worked by Robert Chamberlin was
the correct laid out road. with one exception
/. O., one little draw Immediately north Of
Elm branch, into which he dumped few
loads OF rock. which WAS for the convenience
OF the time being However, this did not
change the line Of the road.
The road opened by Al Frazee ia '0l we do
not consider public road, as we do not know
what court has invested him with authority 10
discontinue the old and lay o0t and construct
new public highways and mall routes His
agreeing to keep said road In good repair, is
no guarantee or security to us that IL will be
done.
The third road mentioned was laid ont In
1856 by a commission regularly appointed by
the court, and not again on the 10th OF May,
lSgl. as stated In above report. As this state
ment Is false, the committee must also have
had their information from NJ Frazee. the
fountain head
No part Of the road originally laid ont by the
commission has fver been set aside The new
route spoken OF by the committee must have
been shown them by NJ Frazee, as we know OF
no new route being laid out since 1856. except
the one laid out by NJ. Frnzee, which, we
admit is illegal. We do not doubt but what

still. we think we should have been repre-
sented in their inspection. that they might
have had both sides presented to them.
The committee report further that they do
not see why the road should pass through the
farm OF NJ. Frazeei and we say, We do not see
why his farm should pass over and destroy our
road. to the inconvenience of the many and
for the benefit of the Individual. We con-

Make Home Attraotive.

A comfortable house, surrounded
with well kept lawn, shrubs and flow.
ers, and garden with abundance OF
vegetables and fruit are essential for
economical and comfortable living.
Such surroundings tone up the man,
stimulate his ambition, make him en-
JOY and appreciate his home, inspire
him with zest in his business and help
him secure success. The influence Of
such surroundings are too little con-
sidered and appreciated.

New Dry Goods
---

Opened.

LADIES'
We take pleasure in stating to
youthat our spring of 1891 stock Of
Dry Goods isnow upon our shelves
and counters.
1t will be a greater pleasure TO
have you call and examine them.
A great deal was said last fall
about VIM. Mckinley and his fam
Gus bill. One would have sup
posed that said bill was long
enough to sap the very life out Of
the people, especially the pur-
chasing consumer. Ifyou will call
at our store we will cndeavor to
disabuse your mind on this ques-
tion.
We can sell better values in Dry
Goods this season for less money
than they cost us last year. We
are not going into a tariff or free
trade argument, The goods may
have been smuggled. If they
were we don't know it; they came
to us in the regular way,
We think we have the finest dis
play Of Dry Goods ever brought
to this Nation and we ask an in
spection.
Respectfully Yours,

In the Chesapeake and Delaware

winter to an unfathomable depth. Some
are only few feet in diameter, while
others cover a quarter of an acre in
surface. Their formation is apparent

evident. Many scientists have exam
med the mysterious plats, and they
generally advance a theory that tho
islands cover the outlet of submarine

LINCOLN AND THE GUN.
The President Examined KentoelSian'r
New Invention.

New Invention.
While president of the United States
and about three months previous TO
his death President Lincoln was visited
by Colonel Scott of Kentucky, and
Marshal Lamon. On this occasion
Colonel Scott carried with him fine
specimen Of breech-loading gun, OF
which he was the inventor and
patentee. The two on entering the
door of tho private Office of Mr.. Lin
coin at the white house were addressed
by the president from his seat with q
hearty welcome and one Of them with
the words, Hello! Scott. how are youa
What have you got thereP"
Scott replied That patent gun
was talking to you about some time
ago"
Welt" said Lincoln with twinkle
in his eye, Il should think you would
be ashamed of yourself-a full blooded
Kentuckian trying to beat u Yankee"
Scott was mum, and thereupon Mr..
Lincoln handled the beautiful piece
very sl1illfully and interestedly, acting
as though he missed an important at
tachment, and he inquired of Colonel
Scott: Where is that shoulder strap
which enables You TO use the gun, In
one hand as horse pistol?" Scott
replied, II did not bring that along,
but it can be readily attached when
the gun is in use.
The president loosely pointed the
gun at us, and swinging it around,
laughed and said: Look out there.
do II good deal Of shooting around
here (seemingly taking in the war
going on), but don't know whether I

gun with interest, the president asked
Colonel Scott what he thought tho
government would do with it il it was
adopted, and quickly followed this
question with the remark: ''Well, ]
guess it will be with you as it was with
the Irishman and his sleeps head"
Then Mr.. Lincoln told story which
ran thus: An Irishman had sleeps
head and was dressing it for his din
ner. At moment when he was not
looking n fellow slipped around the
corner and captured the prize, and the
Irishman, seeing him disappear with
his sleeps head, cried out; "Niyer
moind, it will do We no good, have
the recate for cooking it." This was
rather pointed story for the conA.
panv.
The president kindly promised that
he would go out shortly with Colonel
Scott to test the merits OF the gun,
aud we parted from this grand nobae
man, feeling that he had kind, friendly
heart, and that his soul was weighed
down with anxiety as to the results Of
the mighty conflict then going on
between the north and the south

A REPORTERS CHEEK.
lie Bearded David Davis In His Den One
Day.

One day during his later years
Senator David Davis was at the Grand
Pacific hotel in Chicago. TO him
there came reporter VINO inquired rs
to the truth of rumor that the heavy
weight Independent was about to
marry. Thereupon tho senator locked
the door OF the room. put the key in
his pocket hoisted the window-the
room was pretty high up--and, turn
ing face Of furious anger on the re-
porter, commanded him to write his
name and that of the paper he worked
for. 80 that the hotel people may
know just what ] threw out of the
window he said. Then, after enjoy
ing tho reporters terror. he permits
him to dopar, uninjured.
That is the story. Ii is correct, all
but the ending. When the gigantic
senator had made his bluff the report
er, who was nervy il little, felt that he
must call it in some way. So, putting
on his most persuasive smile, he said:
Certainly, senator, but I'd like one
favor before this matinee goes on"
What is it, sir? I'm in no mood
for triaing," Numbered the senator.
Il would like to write brief account
OF this for my paper. ! don't want to
get 'scooped' on my last assignment "
go on. I'll give you Eve minutes. "
The reporter sat at the senator's
table and hastily wrote few pages.
Meanwhile the senator was pacing the
room, his anger evidently increasing.
The reporter addressed IN envelope to
his paper and made to inclose in il
what he had written. I'm leave this
on the table, so that a messenger can

the young man, who arose and backing

The Polar bear.

Thanks TO the high latitude which
it inhabits, the polar bear is not likely
to be killed off. The polar bear is an
enormous animal, weighing about as
much as fair-sized OK, but it is not at
all fierce, and will always run away,
so that it is not hard to kill. l once
saw an Alcut woman dispose OF one in
very remarkable manner. She found
it asleep on the ice, and approached
it with great caution from the leeward
side, having improvised a weapon by
fastening the knife she carried to q
stick with lacings of seal leather which
served to hold together her garment.
Having got close to the unconscious
beast. she thrust this spear deep into
its body behind the left foreleg. 1t
