A new girl baby arrived at the

Common 1.-THE weatherwise" should
be white-capped. The grades of
weather we have been compelled To
put up with this winter would
make a sunday school boy whip
his mother.
or course a woman doesn't want
her plants to freeze, but still one
can't blame a man for raising a row

Your scribe has been having a
tussle with that headsplitting, bone

There will be a wedding in this
locality next week that will sur
prise the natives And as it will

the day. But as it will give US an

It's amusing these cold days to
me an outsider) to witness the
political battles lost and won around
dear old Flat Creek. Many a man
with politics just blooming and an
imaginary office already won would
realize that a cold wave had struck
his political anticipation could he,
incugni;O, he a silent listener to
our political harangucs. However,
idle minds will sometimes put ideas
into minds more active, and while
we are not a politician nor ever
expect To be, nor do We write this
as II call for office, still, after beg
ging the lady's pardon should using
her name politically not meet her
appreciation; and should Office
holding be not congenial tn her
taste the matter cal be dropped ;
otherwise "a hint to the wise is
sufficient" We were a silent lis
tener this week to conversation
Of some prominent workers in the
ranks OF the Democratic party
prominent because they have the
party at heart and rejoice at its
success. and have not and do not
ask office. The main object OF

Public Schools. Out of seven vot-
ers all were unanimously for Mrs.
Lee ID. Brother (nee Miss Pearl

vancemrnt of the sex, believing Il
female better adapted by associo-
ton to fill the place than a man, as
the business is mostly with WON
en-" Mr. "B." AIRS. Brother is the
best qualified person in the county
for said place" NJ SCI; "Can win
with hands down, more relatives
than any body all Democrats Free
Silver) and not an office holder in
the family" Mr.. e.; "She will
bring out a big vote in November
thereby increasing the majority OF
Watt Hardin for Governor" Mr.
F." says: IAN for her on accoun,
of her uncles-the Shrout boys.'
Mr.. &C.: 'Am for her because il
nominated do not believe the Re.
publicans will have the nerve to
! oppose her" These expressions
were heard by your reporter, and
. from a dislnterested view of the
matter we think each speaker had
. logical reason for his expression
Further your reporter sayeth not.
However, the Superintendent OF
Montgomery is a lady, and her con-
stituents are more than pleased
with the way she discharges the
duties Of the office.
