in this county although, hop-raising in
this section of the country is still in its

in raising hops, and in very few years.
her hills and valleys will be covered
with the vine.

20 kindly summers, at Canton, Ohio
The wedding will be private. We ex
tend congratulations and hope they will
jog along harnessed in love to duty
and may they never kick over the dash
board of domestic felicity. =
The people on the east side were
startled by the cry of fire at 10 o'clock,
Monday night, which caused several of
the citizens in that part of town, to
hastily don their wearing apparel, and
find out the cause of the alarm. After
a search of over half an hour, it was
finally traced to the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. q. F. Brown, where lamp
had been upset but quickly extin-
guished. No alarm was turned in for
the fire laddies.

Our friends who send their money
to eastern concerns in exchange for
goods show very poor reasoning when
they send cash in their letters, in place
of expanding small amount in pos
tai note, money order or check.
Every cent of basic money sent from
a city or its vicinity makes that kind
of money scarcer, and harder to get,
thus appreciating the value. 1t may
seem little thing but little thought
and figures will soon convince you that
we are correct in our premises
A Poultry Association is about to be
organized in Caldwell first, of
course, in the state. Caldwell always
leads in all enterprises for the mater
ial good OF the country. There are al
ready some elegant birds in the city,
representing Langshang, Buff Cochin,
Brown Leghorn, Indian Games, Barred
Plymouth Rock, Bramha ETC., and ar
engagements are being made for poul-
try show This winter. In fact the
poultry craze has struck the town and
no one hopes to move in good society
who does not own thoroughbred bird.
From indications it appears that
times will be harder this winter than
ever. The country has not recovered
from our recent depression, and when
business did open up a little great
strike was inaugurated that ruined
many people. These things added to
the existing distress augmented the
woe of our land. What will occupy
statesmen most this coming winter
will be how to administer public char
ity. Caldwell will not feel these hard
times so much as other cities. in fact
outside of California, the west will be
no worse this year than last, but rather
they will fare little better. 1t is in
the eastern cities that the hard times
will fall heaviest upon the people
And our advice to eastern brothers is
that they had better begin their charity
. organization early so as to enable then
to be fully prepared to cope with the
exigencies this winter will bring.
