on a visit to old friends.
We wish we could look as wise as
a plumber looks when be pounds pipe
to discover a leakage.
If boy consents to wear shoes in
summer it is to tramp on the feet5f the
boys who go barefoot.
There is something in being old,
after all; old people know there is no
fun in going to picnics.
Somebody must have supplied the
weather man with a calendar showing
the real season of the year.
If any place where Mr. BRYAN for
merly lived has been overlooked it will
please indicate it Dy the usual sign.
The ladies of the Southern are
fine story tellers and their open air
seances at the noon hour are greatly
enjoyed.

by Miss Newell and will move his FAM

There will be no disposition in the
democratic ranks to criticise Mr.. Sew
all if he should wish to make his con-
tributions in gold.
-Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera and
Diarrheoa Remedy always affords

Mr.. Watson, of Georgia. seems to
be not altogether certain that it is not
Mr. Bryan's duty to retire and let Tom

"A glance through the Snakeville

more new houses being erected there
than in any other portion of the city.
The Supreme court of Michigan
declares that bicyclists must be on the
lookout for stones, human beings and

After a girl reaches a certain age
she stops saying: "I'll ask mamma"
Talk to her mamma about that time
and you will find that she talks of ask
ing her daughter.
MIR. Sewall feels, no doubt, that
there is a good deal more that is inter-
esting and important in connection
with the democratic nomination than
was tod at the notification.
John Condor has purchased an
other eighty acre tract of land for the
new race track. This time it is the
John Balm property adjoining the other
property on the west. 1t is understood
that the price was $50 per acre.
Mr.. Sewall seems to have a great
deal of difficulty in understanding Mr..
Watson's repeated and lucid explana-
lions why it would be a graceful and
patriotic act for Brother Sewall to
withdraw.
The report that another race track
is thought of by either the Chicago &
North Western Railway company or
parties along that line nearer to town
than the one now being established, is
an error. The report has it that Eiba
Weyhe is trying to sell his farm on the
state line for such purpose. The fact
is that Mr.. Weyhe is trying to sell that
farm, provided he can get his price,
but we are assured that it is not for a
race track, but purely for aninvest-

Lewis Knapp tells of piece of
carlessness by somebody in hitching a
horse attached to light buggy in
front of his house so that neither was
more than two feet from the railroad
track which runs along that street. An
engine began running some freight cars
along the track from the west, which
approached the horse from behind.
OF course, Jh horse became frightened

brakeman on the scene, who unhitched
the horse and took him to a place Of
safety, saved a possible smashup and
disaster.

man have ABOUT perfected a bicycle
which will prove a seller. The point
upon which they claim superiority is in
the frame. It is, they claim, double
strength, being re-enforced by a steel
rod forming part Of the tubing and
the joints being of aluminium are light,
strong and durable, and are not brazeG.
But the fetching part of all is that the
wheel can be put upon the market at
retail for about $25. Messrs. Spruce
and Kellerman intend to embark at
once upon manufacturing the wheels so
as to have them ready for next seasons
use.
One of the most disgraceful sights
seen on any street or in any part Of
town was that of a young girl who
could not have been over 16 years Of
age, walking along Main street at
about o'clock Wednesday afternoon
in a state of hilarious intoxication. She
cut up such antics as pulling up her
