MCKINNEY & SON.

The citizens of Jimtown, /. T., will
by appointment meet representa-
tives of the different finny tribes of
the Neosho river this afternoon.
The party will camp on the river to-
night, and a great time is anticipa-
ted. Fish, squirrels and other birds
will be on the bill of fare. Mr.. Jim
Palmer and John Ellsworth will do
the fishing act for the party. Jim
Moore, by previous arrangement,
will meet 30 or 40 young squirrels.
He will then proceed to slaughter
choice fat ones, and we are of the
opinion that 90 of them will escape.
Excepting Chas. Daniels and Weldy,
Jim Moore can walk farther, shoot
oftener and bag less game than any
man on earth. A party of Miami
citizens will attend services at the
Jimtown camp in the wilderness ut
u O'Clock sharp.

there, for. so far as orr knowledge
goes, he has never failed to pay the
printer - promptly, squarely and
fairly. and hence we cannot but be-
lieve that he also deals justly and
fairly with his patrons.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.

EDITORS NEWS: Finance is going
the rounds. Will you please allow
me small space in your valuable
paper to insert few questions that
l have not heard asked by any OF
the financiers!
First-Was this most decried sill.
yer dollar ever good dollar? If SO
when did it get to be a bad one, and
wha. was the process?
Second-Did not the same body oil
men who measured the gold dollar
measure the silver dollar? How,
then, did they get the exact unit in
the gold dollar and failed on the
silver dollar!
Third-What dollar has been used
most extensively in transacting the
business of the country i'm general?
l aver that the silver dollar has, and
that il is the best dollar today. 1t
has done duty for over one hundred
years without any complaining.
There are three classes of people
who decry the silver dollar. If l
were to name them / should say
they consisted of the fool, the thief
and the liar. If you can find better
terms for them, l submit you
change them.
Allow me TO say that / challenge
any "goldite" to contest as to
which is the best dollar, the silver
or the gold dollar, and l don't think
there is any danger of hearing from
anyone on this subject
Now, when those people answer
these questions l shall have a few
more ready for them, but until then,
as the sportsmen say, put up or
shut up" F. A.GIBBoNs.

Returned Home.

County Attorney Martin returned
Wednesday evening to resume his iden.
tity with the welfare and advancement
of Cook county. He has fixed plan for
improving his hermit home at Mt. Ash
berry by making additions to his cabin,
clearing more land for this seasons crop,
etc., etc.
He expresses q reasonable hope that
his labors in St. Paul, for getting
state aid to improve our roads may not
prove an entire failure. We eau say
from our own personal observations in
watching his labor that, should we fail,
it cannot be charged to any lack on his
part OF fidelity, industry or ability to
fulfill the trust imposed in him by our
people.
We publish below an article from the
Duluth Herald which will, in measure.
explain the situation, and will add that
Mr.. Martin secured: the introduction of
q bill, through Senator Spencer, asking
an appropriation of $4,000 from the
general fund Of the state, and that his
bill was the only bill of like character
before the legislature:
