come to the service in the vicinity Of
Chloride if the air gets bad.
The egg crop of Kingston this year
is simply immense, The supply far ex-
ceeds the demand. 1t is the first time
in the history of the town that the
home crop is sufficient for home de-
mands, Several egg produce rs ship
regularly to Hillsboro, and more would
do so If the people of that city would
rise to the occasion and demand fresh
ranch eggs from their grocers instead
of accepting stale lmportations,
A grand masquerade ball was given
Saturday night at Relngardt's hall for
the benefit Of the public school. 1t
was lar gely attended by Kingston and
Hillsboro people, and socially and fnan-

Mr.. Edward Cahill has reached 6 feet
4, he is closely followed by Mr.. Fred
Cain although three years his junior.
Both are kids, without having attained
their full growth, This extraordinary
development of bone is directly trace

GRAFTON Of Kingston children will pro-
badly be giants in stature, following
closely the raw-boned, %derrick-built in
~dividuals of well-known sections of

Sleeps coat off himself and appears
for the first time in his true political
light. Like the senator from New

democrat" He claims that he
came from a republican family.

ster will soon leave for the Needles,
Cal, where they will build a boat and
float down the Colorado river to Yuma,
prospecting as they go. 1t will be an
exceedingly fatty crowd, and when the
thermometer reaches 140 in the shade
the grease will flow to such an extent
that the mighty pillows will be Gained.
The crowd will also be democratic, and

region long ago to the principles of pro-
lection. Marriott, with his politics will
be lonesome, but he can renew his faith

eggs roasted in the sand. Any sand bar
on the river affords good baking pro-
positions.
