While Billy is not as heavy yet, he is perfect beauty and as fat as good corn meal can make him. Mir Sharp regrets he must part with him, but as he is getting so fat, the man who gets the lucky prize will do well. MT Sharp's reputation as steer raiser is we'll known.

AGAR DERAILED ON THE sHEpAUG.

As Conductor Bristors express was rounding the curve near Ferry's Bridge, last week Friday, the trucks of the sec ond car from the engine jumped the track and made the dirt and timber fly at a lively rate. The train ran about POO feet before the train was stopped. The ties were badly cut up, many of them being broken like so many pipe stems. The ac- cident occurred at the same point where car was derailed about a month ago. Among the passengers, a month ago, and also last Friday, was an elderly gentle man, drummer for grain supply house. He asked Conductor Bristol, ''Am I responsible for these accidents: :: They always happen when I am along this way" MT Bristol replied that he knew of no other reason. The drummer referred to refused to be comforted and seizing his heavy grip, started up the track toward Washington. Conductor Bristol made quick work of getting the car on, the delay being less than an hour.

NICHOLS.
CUPID HARD AT WORK.

Cupid feels the mystic influence of spring zephyrs, and on them is wiDging countless darts, accompanied by his low and thrilling music, to many a Nichols heart. It is interesting to observe how susceptible the maiden's coy have become since the chilling winds of winter are no more. New wedding bells and fresh mornings are an early expectation. It seems that the recent Nichols-Plumb wedding was but beginning of the fair spring procession. A list of names is unnecessary, this week, although it would prove a surprise package to some. Several ssblythe bachelors' are being led captive.
