Donation Day at the Hospital.

Thursday was donation day at the Della

that he was not present at the special
meeting, and desired to learn under Just
what conditions the board adopted the
preamble and resolutions referred to.

The Fourth.

The Fourth was quiet day in Ris
ing Sun and with an occasional
cracker from the hands of the small
boy peace reigned supreme. Several
parties who are lovers of the national
game drove to Oxford to witness q
game of ball between the Oxford and
Delta mines, expecting to see some
fine playing but were sorely disap
pointed. The Delta players would
have been common amusement for
Rising Suns fourth nine. The
feature Of the game seemed to be
Whisker's brilliant (mis) plays at
third. Some of his efforts to keep
the ball from striking his hands were
remarkable.
La the evening MIR. B. H Brown
entertained number of friends at
his new residence with a fine display
of fire works, supplemented with
watermelons. Miss Mary Brumfeld
also entertained a gathering ofyoung
friends in the evening at her home
near town. Mr.. j. E. Brumfeld
further enlivened the occasion with
some very pretty pyrotecnics.

An Old Bummer's soliloouy.

Up and down the walk, then across the street,
take my glass of grog and then repeat,
That's the way the money goes, dime and nickle
Till drunk an owl and in pretty pickle.
Pockets empty, out in the cold I'm put,
And meander to a drunkards squald hut;
Wife and children, shivering on bed of straw,
But then, get drunk according to The IaU.
From the rum eller's roof, never take shingle
Nor with his maudlin crowd, too proud to mingle
And was always hailed right good fellow,
When in my youthful days, 1 only got a little
mellow.
Them in style drove out in my fancy cutter,
And among the ladies caused quite futter,
Who admired my rig, horse, robe, bells and whip,
And also, did my bosom cronies, always ready for
nip"
Now, alas I'm nothing but an old back number,
And put to roost where tramps and beggars
slumber.
While scores of the young and rising generation
My footsteps follow to want and degradation.
Still, I'm "a man for all that and all that
Although appear in rags and wear seedy hat,
And for high license shall always vote. because,
I'm opposed to all blamed Sumptuary laoS,
As all freemen should be, of every grade or class,
Who love their beer and always ready for glass,
Though cranks may howl and rant for prohibition,
And send to our legislators. their long petition.

The Keystone Suspension Fence

This wire fence is probably the
best wire fence that has yet been
brought out when all of its advantages
are considered. One very important
feature of the fence is that it costs
less than any other wire fence it is
smooth wire, thus dispensing with
the horrible barbs which wound so
many valuable young horses aud
other stock. The pickets bind the
wires together insuring the strands
to be kept the same distance apart.
The two most valuable features
which place the Keystone Suspension
Fence above all other wire fences is
the ratchet and truss. The ratcbets
enables the owner to tighten up the
wire, if they, or any one of them
become slack. without the least
trouble, with common wrench, and
the truss wire lifts all sag ont of
the whole line, making every wire in
the fence straight and taut as fiddle
string. A person may climb over
the Keystone without ssgging the
wires or injuring his clothes; large
stock cannot jump over or break it
down; and small stock-sheep or hogs
can't get through between the wires,
they being bound together and held
uniform distance apart by the
pckets. In cold weather the wires
can be slackened, in warm weather
frightened by dropping or taking up
notch or two in the ratchets.
The Hambleton Brothers are agents
for the fence and have put up a sec
ton opposite the depot at this place
which can be seen and its superior
qualities will at once he made mani.
