For nearly twenty-four consecutive
years, Mr. Hobart Peck has been employed
IN the marble shop OF Mr.. Henry e. soper
and during the greater part OF the Iltns
for the last twenty years Mr. j. w. FORD
has also been at work in the same shop.
This speaks well for both employer ana
men, and certainly the monuments sent
ont from this shop could be the work OF
none but skilled and experienced hands.
A learned professor has now evolved
the theory that il cycling continues IN

feet will gradually "pine away their
arms and hands will constantly increase

cycling countries will strongly resemble

though occasionally one sees some tett
that seem to have been bent little too
high up, aud could endure without injury
considerable "pining away"
The Cheyenne (Wyomingl Daily sun
OF October 10th contained the portrait and
notice OF Burt NJ. Parmenter, who re.
ceived his education at this High school
and has many acquaintance IN West
Randolph. His former home was In Koch
ester, and his friends in both places viii
read with pleasure the following article,
which is an evidence, as Mr.. Parmentsr
modestly says, that il he has not grown
up with the country to any sublime
height" neither has he "blown up or dried

taches TO the legislative ticket in Laramie
county this year. Perhaps 1t will never
occur again ia the history of the State
that two United States senators viii be
elected by one general assembly. In view
OF the depression that has fallen upon the
country by aud through the vascillating,
policy of Democracy, together
with the ruinous principles advocated, the |
election OF two Republicans has become |
matter OF business and industrial necessi- |
ty. The Republican party in convention |
assembled placed its legislative ticket be-
fore the people, and its average makeup /
brings il well to the front among similar |
tickets that have been presented by the /
.urixs for fauhffr a The i
for the lower House in the next 1
assembly is B. NJ. Parmenter, one OF the pro- |
prietors OF the Blak Flag. Mr. ,Parmenter's |
was asked for by the young. |
ar element OF the party, and as our West |
arn business interests are largely in the |
hands of young men, bis selection would |
appear to be timely. MIR. Parmenter is a |
well read man. and there is, perhaps, no |
legislative candidate on the ticket more in |
.ouch with public questions. All that he /
has in the world Is invested in Laramie /
county, and he is firm believer in the fu
Lure OF this city and State. 1t will be to /
mis- material interest to see that Wyoming /
IS made to go ahead. He will be found /
faithful and, as far as ability shall go, an /
sble and painstaking legislator. His !
record as citizen is honorable and clean, 1
md there are many other reasons why he |
should be elected, the chief OF which, lay |
ng aside all other questions, is that he is |
manly. outspoken and consistent Re
publican, and will vote right on all ques-
ions looking to the prosperity OF the !
county and State, and also for two Re |
oublicans as United States senators. The
'oter will find that he has committed no /
srror when he casts his vote for Burt NJ |
parmenter on the Republican ticket.
At the Cong'l church last Sunday morn |
ng, there was a Harvest Home festival /
n grateful recognition of the bountiful /
Increase which, in this year of grace, has |
blessed the husbandman's toll. The |
'burch was lavishly decorated with the |
ruits OF the harvest, and at one side of |
he pulpit arch lowered lofty corn stalks, /
which were thrifty enough in appearance /
% make men cheerful. The text of Rev.
Mr.. Hardy's discourse was taken from
osalm cxxvi. 6-'He that goeth forth and
yeepeth, bearing prescious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him." He
