BUCKING BRONCHOS.

Daniel w. Cromer, of Fort Lit
tleton and Max Sheets, of McCon-
nellsburg, are spending their odd
hours in reducing to subsection
wild, untamed bucking bronchos
that they obtained from a drove a
few days ago, at Fannettsburg
1t will likely be triumph of mind
over-no matter. Mr.. Cromer
purchased two and Max one of
the animals with minds Of their
own. We have no report from
Fort Littleton up to date, but if
Mr.. Cromer's experience tallies
with MaX's it is highly probable
by this time that he regrets that
he attended the Fannettsburg
broncho sale. Everybody knows
that Max Sheets delights in run
ming up against high-mettled
and obstreperous piece of horse
flesh, but he is more than pleased
with his recent purchase, which
was never before restrained by
even Il halter. For days he has
been trying the civilizinginfluence
of guy and stay ropes and halters,
ropes to keep him from going
up, and ropes to keep him from
coming down, and stillmore ropes
to keep him within the bounds of
an acre lot. On Monday he took
nearly Il score of colored men,
who had previously bidden an af-
fectionatc adieu to their families,
out to a field to assist them i'm the
tanning process, and our inform
ant tells us sit rained niggers for
about five minutes" " after an un-
successful Wild West perform
ance. The broncho's movements
are so mercurial that one can
scarcely get Il snap shot with a
rifle.

SOLOMON SLAUGHTER.

Solomon Slaughter, the well known
old colored man was found dead in his
bed on Wednesday morning. He had
been on the street apparently in his
usual health the day before. Sol had
for many years driven the bus for
Lashley and later for HiXon. He
seemed to like the job and kept at it
until he became too weak and old to
continue the work. AS the bus was
going along Spring street the day be-
fore he died, Sol stopped and looked
at it till it passed him. The writer re-
marked to JEFF that Sol was thinking
of his old driving days. His steady
look of interest seemed to talk, but
said nothing. That night Sol was at
his long home.
He was born in Virginia and was a
slave until the war. He escaped to
the North during the war and for
many yearsrcsided in McConnellsburg.
From 1886 to the date of his death he
resided in Everett. He was quiet,
well-behaved citizen against whom no
harm has ever been charged. Poor
old Sol. Farewell. Everett Press.

HOW THEY PLASTERED.

Ben Franklin or Solomon or
somebody else once said "Econo-
my is wealth" and no people so
well appreciated the truth of that
maxim so much as did the early
settlers in this county. If the
people of the present day were to
make as much money as they do,
and spend as little as their
worthy ancestors did, no poor
tax would have to be paid, and
printers would not get rich print.
ing sheriff sale bills.
Alex Patterson, of Ayr town
ship lives on the cold Patterson
farm" in the Cove. Part of the
dwelling house in which he lives
was built perhaps a century and
a half ago. Alex, in making some
repairs to the kitchen, removed
some of the plastering, and was
struck by the method used to
plaster walls in those early days.
They did not use plastering lath
as is done now, requiring nails to
fasten them. O, no! They just
made a lot of locust pins about
two inches long and between Il
quarter and half an inch square
and sharpened the ends. Then
with a hammer with a sharp bcak
and poll they struck the logs
with the beak making a hole into
which they drove the pin allowing
it to stick out something more
than an inch. The wall was Just
driven full Of these pins which
served to hold the plaster instead
of lath as now used. So well did
they answer the purpose that
much of the plastcring of the
room, done SO many years ago,
was in as good condition as when
first put on save ordinary wear.

THE EVERETT REPUBLICAN.

The Everett Republican, which
last week of all others failed 70
reach us by mail, appears greatly
changed in Typographical appear
ance and makeup and a change
in management. G.. S. Clark, Il
former Bedford county boy, but
more recently connected with q
prominent newspaper in Wiscon-
sin, takes charge of its editorial
columns, in connection with its
founder, John G. Chamberlain.
1t is nowpu blished by The Repub-
lican Printing Company. Both
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Chamberlain
are married to the daughters of
the late lamentedand talented Col.
John M. Bowman, under whose
tutelage they have evidently ac-
quired "the nose for news, and
the development of other faculties
essential to live journalism. In
looking over the columns of The
Republican we find much to ad-
mire and little to condemn. ltis
as full of interesting, newsy mat
ter as an egg is full of meat, and
it's advertising department eXhib-
it's a desire on the part of the
Company to present the state
ments of the business men of EV-
erett to the public in the most at
tractive and artistic manner. We
have watched with admiration the
growth of The Republican from
its birth, nearly seven years ago,
and noted with pleasure each sue
ceeding substantial improvement
as this late one certainly is. 1t
is now an eight-page paper. We
wish the firm the success their
enterprise so Justly merits.
