The Homo Paper.

An exchange says: When you get married to the brightest and best girl in the country, where did you look for that notice that meant so much to you and so little to nearly everybody else {? To your home paper.
 When your home was invaded by the blue eyed girl, ar the bouncing baby boy. to whom did you make it your business to convey early information as to the sex, the time and weigh, 2 To the editor of that home paper A-J
 In after years when some manly young fellow takes the blue eyed girl to a home of his own, or your bouncing bOy-nOw man--is given partrer-- ship in the store because he has just brought home some body else's daugh- ter and set up an establishment of his own. to whom doyo personally exhibit. the wedding presents and load up with the brides cake, and to whom dc you look for that complete description of the interesting event, down to the last pickle fork and individual salt, which, once more, means so much to you and x. very few others, and so little to every body else? To this same editor of that same home paper.
 And when trouble comes in the home and you add to your possessions that desolate bit of reality, the lot in Ithe cemetery, and somehow the sun doesn't seem to shine just as it used to, and, :. there's the flutter of crape at the door and the odor of the tube rose in the, front parlor, and the chair that has for years been beside yours at the fireside. and opposite YOU at the table is vacant. when all this happens. who makes 1t. his business to write in tender strain of the one whose life has grown to be. part of yours, and whose sympathy and good deeds to others have long been known and recognized, if never publicly announced ? The editor of the paper |, and he's only too willing to do the lit-- tie that he can to help you over the hard shot in the road.
 And all these years you've advertised in this home paper, and done what yon could to help the editor fight your bat ties in municipal and county matters, and encouraged him as he has worked to build up the town and bring business, to it?

The recipients of the elegant invita- tions to the grand ball given by the young men of our city Monday night, were indeed fortunate, for it was the recherche event of the season.
 Owing to the limited space in the armory, the place was changed to the hotel dining room, At an early hour the crowd commenced to gather. and by the time the first notes of the Grand March broke upon the ear, fully fifty couple covered the floor.
 Everybody seemed to have enjoyed themselves, and many were the encom- iums passed upon. the management Ample justice was done the excellent spread out at supper served by that genial boniface, w. H. Jzard, of the IZarG House. It was Tn the light of tho rosy bushes of the morn, that the dancers wended their way home.

Childrsn's Day at Madison.

This issue of the TIMES would be in-. complete without some notice of tue delightful Children's Day exercises at, Madison. The house was not large enough to contain the many that at- tended. The recitations of the young ladies were excellent and we couldinot praise one without praising all. The. music conducted by Capt. Whyte was, superb, especially the lovely songs 6 Beautiful Words'' and :" Till we Meet Again."
 It is just such occasions as. these that arouse the better feelings in our hearts. and create profound respect tor our noble and unselfish Sunday school workers. Success to them all, and par ticniarly to the little handful of work CTS at Madison. The superintendent Rev. George Crippen. Brothers Me- Guffey, Melee. Capt. Whyte, Bro. Hendrix. the pastor, and his devoted wife with all others concerned, deserve, great credit for the excellence of the exercises and for the magnificent din-- ner served upon the grounds. J. H.

why thev Keep a Got.

ssScores of people have put the same
question to me, How is it that nowadays
in stables where horses are kept, there is
often goat g''
''You don't know why? Then III tell
you. Although we are fully insured, the
loss of our horses would ser iously affect
business; and as you can never be sure, in
a place where hundreds of hands are en-
ployed, that some careless workman will
not throw down a lighted match and set
the place a blaze, it dent do to rest con-
tent just because your yearly premium is
paid.
whats that got TO do with the goat !?
Pm going to tell you. Horses are MORALLY
afraid of fire; they won't face it on any ac-
count, but a goat win, and knowing this
peculiar fact. many careful owners now
keep one on the premises, assured that if a
fire breaks out the goat will have shot for
safety, blaze or no blaze, and, like a lot of
sheep. if the goat goes, the horses Will fol-
low.
"'That, sir, is why, where many animals
are kept, you'll often see a Nanny or
Billy about"
