If you would increase your happi-
ness and promote your life, forget
your neighbor's faults. Forget the
SANDER you have ever head. Forget
the temptations. Forget the fault
finding and give little heed to the cause
that provoked it. Forget the peculiar
ities of your friends, and only remem-
bsr the good points that make you fond
of them. Forget all personal qnarrels of
histories that you heard by accident,
and which it repeated, would seem
thousand times worse than they are.
Oblterate everything disagreeable
from yesterday; and write upon it. for
sweet memory's sake, only those things
that are lovely and lovable.-Ex.
J. Is. Wilson, populite ex-treasu-
rer of St. Francis county, having been
ordered to come into court and make

excuses, such as stating that the notice
was informal from the fact that 1t was
addressed to treasurer Wilson, when
in fact lie was no longer treasurer, ETC.,
etc, he asked the court for further
time, and was granted until Saturday
tomorrow There is considerable
unfavOrable comment upon Mr.. Will
sons integrity, caused no doubt by his
seeming unreadiness to turn over his
books. etc, to his successor, but THE
TINES is disposed to give him credit
for honesty as far as the funds are COLI

and we should be very sorry indeed
if John should come up short in his ac-
counts.

Charles L. Wolf, representing
Schaeffer Bros. & Powell. wholesale
soap dealers, of st. Louis, was in town
Monday night, and while on his rounds
to see if the town needed anything in
his line met trio of young ladies on
their way to the house of a friend to
spend the evening. Wolf thought he
was masher, and although, accord
ing to his own confession, he has a
lovely little woman for wife, he so
far forgot himself and good manners,
as to busy himself with the affairs Of
our young ladies, and insolently or

few roses without thorns. and Tues
day morning he found. To his great dis
comfort. that there was.not only thorns
in the way of fists and canes, but also
