LOCAL BREVITIES.


LOCAL BREvITIEs.
The Bonanza has a new advertise
ment this week, and it may profit you
to read it.
The thermometer has been lowering
lovingly about zero all week, but
Hicks promises an early let-up.
Star of the West Lodge meets Satur-
dry evening of this week, and all Ma
sons are invited to be present.
Owing to the illness of Judge Zwart,
the time OF holding the February term
OF the Probate Court has been changed
from the second to the fourth Monday
in this month. Therefore, those hav-
ing business before this court will wait
patiently until Monday the 25th.
Two weeks ago Mr.. A. Begley sold
his farm, known as the Claude Russell
place, to Mr.. A. Zeitinger of Gadshill.
Last week Mr.. Il. removed to the farm
and is now with his family occupying
the premises. He will probably con-
vert his new possession into a fruit
farm.
Additions in stock at the Union Mar
ket: Trunks, Valises and Satchels;
Clocks, Purses. Pocket Books, Travel
ing Straps; Queensware and Glassware;
Cuttlery-all at panic prices. The lat
est styles and fresh stock just received.
Saddlery and Harness. Regular Groc-
err. A smash in prices going on at w.
p MCCARyER's,
The young German who was thrown
from the train a couple OF months ago,
and lately instituted suit for damages
against the railroad company, is no
longer a denizen of the Valley. His
case was compromised Monday, and
Tuesday night he left for Wisconsin,
presumably with sufficient cash in his
purse to bar the devil who is said to
dance in empty pocket-books.
The House at Jefferson doesn't want
the boys to play base ball of aSunday.
How eminently moral we are getting
to be! We suggest that turkey dinners
and wife-kissing on the sacred day be
also prohibited. 1t is comfort to
know that while some of the Solons may
not object to opening a fat Jackpot
with threes on the first day of the week,
they draw the line at wicked baseball.
Their game must be tempered with
intellectually.
Sheriff O'Neal has more boarders
than were lodged with him a week ago.
Five are United States prisoners, as
follows: John Mullins. of Iron county,
sent up for about sixty days, on SEN
g Hnn
James Hutchinson and Joe Shelly, of
New Madrid county, serving out SIC
fine aud costs for running a fiatboat
with saloon attachment, without a
license from Uncle Sam; and Sewell
L. Huff. Oregon county, for cutting
government timber. The two others
are Henry Woods and Frank Rice, con-
victed of larceny, and sent up to serve
out fines and costs.
1t has been intimated that w. w.
Nall, Chief Deputy of U. S. Marshal
Lynch, will commence a suit for libel
against the Post-Dispatch. Walter is
an Iron county boy, and has many
friends and well-wishers in this vicln-
ity, all of whom feel confident that he
will win his suit and recover damages
in a round sum. The P.-D. is a live,
enterprising paper, full of snap and
vim; but when it puts forth, as the
counterfeit presentment of q handsome,
reputable citizen, such picture as
that contained in its last Sunday s issue,
it is time to call halt. The damages
ought to be laid at at least $4,000.

discovered on the roof. and had there
been help at hand, the house might
have been saved; but the men folks
were absent. and all that could be
done was to carry out the contents,
which were all rescued from the flames.

the house, was in town at the time OF
