The smallpox has been succeeded by an
epidemic of grip which is prevailing to an

long. Dr. Kabler is going all the time,

The late Legislature seems to have
been a hard working, bilious body, but
it is evident the sessions are too snort
and should be extended to enable mem
bers to read something in a bill besides
the title.
Mr.. Maben, at the Springs, is doing a
good deal of crashing up in anticipation
of the coming season. From the NUM-
Der of letters received ana applications
for board. he will no doubt have as
many as he can accommodate, though
he is not one to cry hold enough.
I hear the convention question very
little discussed ana have no idea OF
how the vote will be. think the mat

advocates of the measure should ery
