We willingly surrender our life long attempts, to more than worthy suc- cessors, but in the great hereafter, we would inform the readers of THE BEE that no personal mention will be made of arrivals or departure from our domi- cile, except it be Grover Cleveland, Gov Morris, or their worthy successors.
 The croakers, are satisfied that there will be good crop of hay, yet now the fear Is, can we ever get it? If Coxey's army should come through Newtown we should say, sWe've done our best, now scratch for yourselves.n Present. ly you will see the chickens leading the old hen,

A PROMISING HORSE.

Prominent among the business and horsemen of this section is N. w. White of Long Ridge, near West Bedding. MT White is as full of business as an egg is of meat and is very pleasant and genial gentleman to meet withal. This summer he is bringing his celebrated French stall lion, Cheer, Jr., to the notice of the pub- lie more prominently than ever before. Mir White has in this stallion a. horse that for driving and working purposes is not excelled by any in this section. Realiz- ing with his quick business acumen that the trend of rates must be toward low CT scale on account of the times, he has reduced them so that they are within the reach of all. ssBlood will tell" is an old and true proverb, and you get the best in Cheer, Jr., at nominal figure. Call and see this handsome stallion, even if you do not intend to use him. He is well worth looking at. His advertisement will be found in another column.
