take its way.

friends here, that he is unani-
mously conceded his seat in Con
G by the Election Committee.
THE time of the city election

While We are yet in the fourth
month of leap-year news comes
from Kentucky that a license for
the marriage of a boy of Is to a
WOMEN of 40 has been taken out.
It must be that the colonies are
Very wary when a IONA has to
take up with such young fry as
this.
The genuine t.uew woman" at
last! She halls from Kansas,
and she has cowhided her hus-
band because he let himself be
swindled out of money that be
Ionged to her. 1t is hard enough
to put up with the husband who
permits himself to be swindled
out of his own money but when
it comes to losing his wife's
money it is time to kick.
The telephone exchange is
growing in popularity as its con-
~venience is becoming realized by
our citizens. If you have never
talked over a s'phone'' come into
THE ARGUS office and try it. The
phone is a winner, and it will not
be long before it will be a fixture
in many private residences, as
we'll as all the leading business
houses of the city.
Mark Twain, who we1t abroad

cess, while he has just sold the
copyright of a new book for $780,
900. Mark is excusable for
laughing at his own jokes, and
in this Instance the world laughs
with him.

tered MI. Jno. T. Ginn's kitchen
Monday night through one of
the back windows, and stole
therefrom several hams, some
-four, and a number of dishes,
which is all that has been missed.
The county's blood hounds were
carried to the place where the
thieves entered, but there were
so many tracks made by different
persons that they we're unable to
track the pilferers. It is to be
hoped that the guilty party will
be apprehended.
In the past six months Colds

dustrial development than most
towns accomplish in six years.

Mill, with it's 800, 900 worth o.
