New style Personals,


The personal columa in one news
paper Is about the same as that in
another, with the exception Of the
names. The old stereotyped forms
Of announcing the departures Of citi-
gems, the arrival Of visitors, &C., is
rather monotonous, to say the least
OF it, aud should be discarded. In
this age Of progress we want great
deal OF the spice Of life--variety--
and we generally get it.
Realizing the fact that the reading
public should be furnished with some
new forms OF personals, from keen
sense OF duty we are induced to at
tempt to supply this demand. Be-
low we give few specimens Of the
result Of great mental exertiun, which
we trust will be appreciated.

incest young ladies lin her own esti-
mation), is visiting relatives in Doc
dleville. The length of her visit de-

spent In vain the past fifteen years
in this laudable endeayor we are in
clinod to think she will return home
ere long. AS we always stick up for
our own town, we hope she will rope
some fellow. Ii she docs so he will
be tho recipient of our sincere pity.

hated by the working class and Otter
snubbed by fashionable people. Ma,
her visit be so pleasant that she viii
never return,
Miss Angelica Lighthead, one o
the bellies OF Snobtown, is tho CUES
Of Miss Maym Giddy. Miss Light
head is as beautiful as a butterfly, an,
just about as intelligent The las
effort she made to exercise her brain
brought on spell OF fever that near
ly caused her death. She is said t
be very popular with those who's
mental capacities are about the sam
as hers--in other words, with fasl
ionable society.
