any OF the boys of the press want |
few days off they send for Iver,
unless he happens around, and he
takes charge, and at once becomes
editor in chief and business manager. |
He has column he carries around |
with him entitled ''On this |
Occasion. AS he usually makes
Butternut one week and then jumps |
down as far as Medford the next I
week, he is in little danger of meet
ing the irate ones, whom he delights
to roast. But we could easily
that be could stir up
fuss enough in one week to keep the
editor busy explaining for a month
after liver got through. But Broth
er Anderson is strong writer and a
good fellow. He is a hard hitter,
too, and we hope he won't see this,
as we know he would come back at
us in such a manner that we would
never dare men ton his name again
except in the most reverentia tones.

So the boys down at the Univer-
sity have been cutting up again, and
have made themselves obnoxiOuslv
notorious by going on a might shirt
parade" and stealing the garments
OF the young lady students. The
University faculty are very much
worked up over the affair, and
threaten to do all sorts of things to
the boys, but it is quite likely that
it will be treated wholly as a
college escapade, and soon be for
gotten. The boys ought to at least
be more careful with themselves as
they are liable to catch cold, clad in
such garments, and might have to
send for their mammas to nurse
them through fits of Sickness. Be
sides this they might have to stay
away from football game, and that
would be awful.
A sage hunter who has evidently
learned by the number Of accidents
that have happened in the woods,
remarks that sit is better to miss a
deer than to hit man." Every day
there are hundreds of hunters in the
woods, and if each man with a gun
will carry this motto around with
them there will not be SO many
white handkerchiefs around mems
necks taken for deer flags

Naomi" has informed THE TINES
that ''he" being ''she' did not care
to respond to the assault made upon
She" If there is to be any contro-
versy it is not within the province of
this sheet to mix in it, as the differ
ences that now exist are apparently
wholly of personal nature between
two citizens, and have no
interest to the public, who have
troubles of their own. "NAoMI."
and Jane are both females, and the
epithet she" applied to either indi-
Gates that someone hasn't been
reading their Bible much of late.
Naomi was the wife of Elime-
lech, who came into the country of
Moab, according to the Scriptures,
and therefore Naomi being wife
and also a mother could not be &C
cused even in this late date of eyer
having been a She" The Doctor
and the Editor have been having
their grievances, and each complain
that the other has been saying things
that are not so,-but this does not
justify the attempt to make male
creature out of an old Bible charact-
er who hundreds of years ago proved
her sex by bearing children.

One of our citizens, whom people
would naturally suppose would al
ways be safe from harms way, and
who ought to do better, came very
nearly being crushed under the cars
in the railroad yards in this city a
few days ago. He presistently re-
fused to move eff the track, and ran
off with the idea that he and John
Barleycorn were entitled to the
right of way But the strong arm
of one Of the trainmen moved him in
q hurry, ard the train passed by
without grinding him underneath.
Moral: Don't bump up against a
railroad train even If you are full
