New CASTLE. Nov. 2l.-"What do you
think, Mayor, OF that article in the
sunday Star about the electric rail-
way?' asked your correspondent last
evening Of Mayor Herbert.
"Well.n said the enterprising Mayor,
that article has no truth In IL. We
will have all the money we want when
we get ready to start the road. One
day last week a man from Philadel-
phia came here and he would give us
all the m ouey we wanted. He wanted
to float all our bonds. We will build
I he road and when we 90 We will
plank the money down to do SO. There
are always people here who will knock
the props from underneath anything
any one will try to build up here for
The progress OF the city," ..""
GuNNER's GOOD LUCK.
Or Sunday a gentleman from Phila''
delphia, arrived here on two weeks
visit to enjoy the cunning season.
Yesterday, lie with two others, went
in search of game, but after walking
for several hours they never got a
shot until they were within two fields
of Dobbinsville. Here they saw rab-
bit and the gentleman from Philadel-
phia fired, and to use his own words,
got it, by gosh" But. just Imagine
his chagrin to find that 1t was a stuffed
rabbit he had shot.
lie seemed to enjoy the Joke tho
roughly and sought out the other

way last week, and they had a jolly
shake bands. but they could not find
the fellow who went cunning without
any lock on his gun.
THE TONGUE OF SCANDAL.
For the past three or four weeks
your correspondent has been receiving
several complaints because he has not
written up local scandal. 1t is not
much Interest, in my opinion, to pub
lish the unhappy actions OF man and
wife where the former leaves the lat
ter, no matter what the reason has
been, let 1t be either bunch OF keys
or roll OF notes. This is tho way
look at 1t.
Thong scandals tongue is never mute.
One thought should always comfort
It's not the sour and grabbed fruit
That wasps delight the most to sting.

game Of football took place.
