days more and will then pay Phoebe visit.
Those needing his services as an expert occu-
list will do well to consult him.
Superintendent Nichols of the DeLsmar
Company returned on the evening OF the 9th
and promptly paid off on the 7th inst, an
event much appreciated by both the bus
mess and working men.
The principal topic Of conversation in
town now is the Chicago convention. The
two most spoken Of as favorites are Bland
| and Teller. Bland seems to have the call
in DeLamar and if nominated will get every
vote in town except four or five. We have
that many gold bugs in town.
Our genial County Clerk, H. j. Goodrich,
will be in DeLamar tor a short time, and
those that have the love of country at heart !
and wish to get citizens papers will have
the opportunity. Gov, bring along some
blanks beneficial to palptsting hearts, and
l think you will do lively business
Sheriff Prudential has been with us dur
ing the Fourth attending to his duties as
assessor and also keeping the boys level dur
ing the glorious Independence day festiv-
tiles. Deputy Sheriff j. johnson being
away after some horse thieves the sheriff
thought his presence would have a soothing
influence on those that might feel beliger-
} emily inclined.
We are pleased to note that from dis
patch from deputy sheriff johnson who has
! been on long trip after some horse thieves
= that he has been successful and captured both
culprits and will arrive with his men in
Phoebe about the 18th. inst. He was &C.
companied by Mr.. Hank Vutch, who will
return with him. The impression prevails
that man that would steal horses these
days must have wheels in his head.
We never knew the extent of our popula-
ton until the Fourth when all turned out to
8 enjoy themselves Main street was one
:, mass of happy, smiling faces; everything
