Twenty years ago next Wednesday
t. s. Slower endorsed a draft for $40.
90 for an old soldier who was out of
money and who represented that his
brother in Galveston, upon whom the
draft was drawn would surely pay it.
The brother did not pay it, but Slower
did, and laid it away as souvenir of
his old cOmrade. Last week Capt.
Slower was introduced to lawyer at
the court house who asked him if he
had ever known a certain James
Wood who used to live at Humboldt.
Slower replied that he remembered
him very well. And the short of a
long story is that the lawyer paid
Slower $40 for the long Outlawed draft.
The man who drew it is dead, but it
seems that his autograph was needed
to help establish title to some valu-
able mining property in Colorado.
The Circle of "Kings Daughters"
which was organized short time
ago, has taken for its work the fitting
up of free reading room especially
for the boys and young men of our
town. Through the kindness of Mr..
Hart and Hankins, the store room on
the north side, formerly used as
meat market, by Mr.. Hart, has been
secured. The room will be open each
evening during the week, with the
exception of Wednesday and Satur-
day. On the evening of the opening,
Tuesday, Jan. 3rd. q "BOOk Social"
will be given, to which every one
bringing book will be admitted.
Any one wishing to bring more than
one will not be turned away. The
young ladies will furnish refresh
ments free.

aid "oh7i about Mr.. O'Harra "circu-
lating petition for the appointment"
| Is it possible that a true-blue, immsc-
ulate, incOrruptible and undefiled PeO-
pies party man is actually seeking an
office? Surely the Herald is mistaken.
| Surely it must be the Appointment
which is circulating a petition for Mr..
O'Harra, and not Mr.. O'Harra for the
Appointment!
The last issue of the Elsmore Edgle
reports that it is the custom of q poul-
try shipper in that town to pluck his
turkeys dliUe,-merely because the
commission men prefer the fowls "dry-
picked" and the feathers come off
a little easier when they are alive.
| We never heard of such shocking, in
human cruelty practiced by any civil
| liZed being toward a helpless Great
ure. Surely the humane sentiment
of Elsmore, if not the law will put an
end to such revolving practice.

elsewhere regarding the "Kings

ladies have undertaken is a most
noble and laudable one, and should
be generously encouraged. We trust
