1t is said that the circus trust is
busted, and that the ironclad rule,
which let only one circus of any

ONE evening this week ye scribe
partook of the pleasure of meeting
with Jos. Wallis, who came from
Palouse, Washington, for a brief
visit with his folks in this section.
He is brother to j. b. Wallis, of
the town of Mineral Point. We
"smell mousse" but hesitate about

is most sure to come his way.
The best way to find out whether
a man is honest and responsible, is
to go to the newspaper office, says
an exchange. If his subscription is
paid up, or nearly so, and the editor
is not afraid to trust him, you are
safe in trusting him. There is no
better test than this; when you find
one who will not pay the small
stipend asked for the home paper,
you can rest assured he is no good,
and you had better not trust him.
A PRIVATE letter from NJ. w.
Prater, a citizen and business man

reports all well, and wishes to be
remembered to all old friends here.
