When Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer ct al. ran
away from theparental roof and spent a week
on an island in the Mississippi, on their re-
turn the native village was running over for
a fortnight with tales of heroism and blood
coagulating escapes from deaths of torture
Mark Twain could have painted this up in
colors of even a more varied hue had he
interviewed the Turkeyfoot club upon its re.
turn from the trip last week. None of the
members say much but from divers knowing
glances, and terse sentences let fall, which
nothing within themselves, upon retrospec.
ton will blossom forth into tales the most

lures. Each tacitly endeavors to eclipse the
others and the question "who is in the lead?
will long remain question. Excursions Of
this kind during the villainous summer
months is the salvation of humanity.

New improvements.

We see great improvements made upon
every hand; throughout our county this sum-
mer, new fences, new barns and new houses.
But the material which makes the greatest
improvements not only upon the new struc-
lures, but old ones as we'll, is bought to the
best advantage and probably for the least mon
ey at Saur & Balsley's drug store. The paints
and oils which this house sells are not only
good, pure and reliable, but they are without
doubt the most durable of any which have
ever found their way into the general market.
Here too you can see as we'll as buy some of
the finest wall papers, thyse which are of the
very latest designs if you wish, also cloth
and paper window shades all ready made and
