Our associate, Mr.. Fulton, fell down
with the grippe before the boss editor
had more than half recovered from the
same complaint, hence the paper isn't
up to its usual standard, and instead of
being the best, we concede it to be the
worst paper published in the county.
Hops in favored places are already
climbing over the houses, and the flow
er gardens around town ar bloc mil no
into parterres of color and fragrance.
The fruit trees are laden with blossoms
just ready to burst, and SO thick are
they that fully one half the blossoms
must be destroyed in order to protect
the trees from production.
1t has been a sour and unhealthy
spring all over the country. Winter
came so late and the spring has been 81
backward that the very atmosphere il
out Of joint, and all nature seems t.
have skipped a cog. Meanwhile, tn,
seasons go jumping along and bumpint
against each other in the effort to re
store the natural order of succession
And human nature feels the same way
The Buffalo Hill boys in Fix City, ar
going to lower their hume this summe
to the lowest practicable grade, with tn
intention of opening up new ground
That old Buffalo Hill has long been re
garded as a mine of hidden treasure, bu
owing to the topography OF the countr
it has never been thoroughly exploited
The new ground made available by low
ering the fume will be the very hear
and bowels of the claim, and it is on tn
cards that some startlingly rich find
may be unearthed. At all events W
hope SO.
