ing Democrats of the county to resusci-
tate the Mud Geyser, which Is appar-
emily on lis last legs. From what we
can learn the aim is to get rid of
Thomas Jefferson Johns, who wants a
thousand dollars for his interest, or two
hundred dollars more than the whole
plant is worth. Another meeting will
be held this week at which an effort
will be made tu form Il stock company

South OF the Snowies.

Peasant weather again after three weeks
of winter.
The recent SHOWS were taken advantage
OF by the settlers near the mountains to
have a hunt and nearly every cabin is now
decorated with one or more deer.
w. Z. Buck, one OF the old timers OF up
per Swimming Woman, was recently mar
ried in Vermont and is expected back with
his bride soon. The boys are laying in
wait TO give him a serenade.
The first social event of the season was "a
pleasant dance at L. L. Ashley's some time
since. Kind neighburs came in and pre-
pared the good things for the supper, and
everything went pleasantly.
Tom Lee, Torger and Louis Stigen have
all taken homesteads on Swimming
Woman, and completed their cabins. The
creek is now all taken and the next parties
to come along will have to buy a ranch if
they get one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Woolsey have been run
ming the hotel at Lavina since the prop
erty was sold and are setting "a good table

Arthur T~hompkins, n retired merchant
of Billings, bought of George Perrie about
$500 lambs for S2.75 per head. "How is
that for high?" They were turned over
after election but were purchased before.
One well known woolgrower offers his entire
band, including a considerable number OF
native wethers, for $500 per head, since
the result of the election was known. Here
is a chance for a Democratic free wool
advocate to strike a bargain and prove his
faith. Don't all speak at once.

Being a Gentleman.

BOYS, do you know what being a
gentleman means? Ii means being
kind TO everything and everybody,
considerate of old age. desirous OF
helping everybody, especially your
mother, for she needs your help most
OF all, and by always being cheerful
and gentle in her presence you are
helping and pleasing her n great deal.
As you come in from school II you see
a troubled, tired look on her face,
why not ,ay some pleasant word, and
not rush in, bang the door after you
and throw down your books on the
nearest chair! Sensible people al
ways think more of a boy or young
man who respects his mother. ltalso
means clean face and hands, smooth
ly combed Isir, clean collar and neck.
tie. we'll brushed clothes and neatness
in every practicable way.
Boys sometimes think they are men
il they can swear, and smoke deadly
poison in the form OF cigarettes; but n
true gentleman would not be seen
with such an abominable thing as n
cigarette in his mouth, and much less
would he let a word which defles pass
his lips. \ gentleman should always
be polite, and as | have explained
what a gentleman means will also
tell some OF the things which come
derpolitene.
Being polite means. when waiting
upon persons who are your seniors,
removing your hat upon entering n
room, remaining standing until the
ladies ia the room are seated, and
then quietly taking a seat yourself.
IL means speaking in Il low voice, and
not in a boisterous manner; speaking
respectfully to everyone and treat
ing all persons in kind, courteous
manner.
\ noble boy should not think of
his own comfort before giving n
thought to the welfare OF Others. He
should endeavor To make others hap
py, though in so doing he may have
to make selfsacriice some times.
Just imagine boy growing into
manhood, living only TO crafty his
own desires aud caring nothing for
his fellow men or their opinions of
his selfish conduct.

Mrs q. was much interested In n

two every Sunday afternoon with

Upon one occasion, when the last
lesson had been about the ten
virgins, FIVE Of whom were wise and
five foolish, the teacher asked, as
was her custom. who In the class
could tell anything about the lesson
OF the previous Sunday.
One little girl, who had never been

the week before, was on her feet In

ONE OF THE NEW CRUISERS.
The Governor Urges That the Contract
Shall be Given the Newport News Co.

Governor Mckinney has written q let
ter to General b. F. Tracy. Secretary
Of the Navy, in support Of the wishes
Of the Newport News Dry Dock and Con-
struction Company. TO have at least one
of the new cruisers built in Virginia. The
contents of the letter are IS follows:
The Newport News Dry Dock and
Construction Company. OF Virginia, de-
sires TO build one of the new cruisers
which are soon to be let to contract.
| venture to express an earnest WISH
that the ompan above named may be
allowed &c do this work. l believe II IS
one of the best-equipped s~hip-yards IN
America. The machinery is new and OF
the most approved designs, selected with
out regard to cost. It's ways are best
which can be built, being lad on plleS
and leading to water Of the amplest
denth. It's work shops are commodious,
and the dry docks are unsurpassed In size
and completeness.
.'There are vessels, | believe, being con-
structed by the Government at riVat
wards in the Northern states, ana IL
would be judicious for many reasons TO
have this work scattered; one or the
chief reasons being that trouble with the
workmen occurring at one SHOP Would
not delay all of the work OF the Govern
ment of this kind. .
"Wben the United States Government
constructed its vessels at its own yards
the wise policy pursued was to locate
these wards in different sections, ana the
reasons which Influenced this course Will
dictate the building Of one of these
cruisers at Newport News. ihe whole
people Of Virginia will be gratihed II
the building Of this ship is awarded 10
this yard, and everything when TENS
TO strengthen the attachment OF the Peo-
pie OF the States to the General Govern
ment should always be careluly con-
sidared I'm making awards of these con-
tracts.
For these reasons, and others whlch
might with propriety and with force be
used. allow me to express the nope that
AT least one Of the cruisers may be pulIt
by the Virginia Dry Dock and Construc-
ton Company at Newport News.
