 MT. C. M. Crossett, of DeView informed us that his crop is 8 veritable wilderness, and for fear of getting lost when he ven lures out in it, he has ordered , coils of wire-rope of Simmons Hardware co, of St Louis. One end of which he intends to faSten to a tree in his yard and unroll said wire as he proceeds out in his crop. He thinks he can safe ly return home with the assist ance of such d cable. We would like to hear from a country that can excet Woodruff co. in any thing.

He can act the parts from the hired servant to the Wealthiest Irishnian ana make them aslaln ed of themselves. Suffice it to say it was a great show.
 R. w. Stoker, of Martin June tion, got off good one on a young man not long since. As Bob and others were sitting ill MT. Blackstone's store discuss ing politics and other kindred subjects, there enter ed a young man of hungry aspect. Now, it happened that Mr. Blacks tone had some sardines on his shelves of the Blue Jay brand The young man noticed these and remarked II didn t know they canned Blue Jaws before. To this our funny Bob replied "Oh yes, Blue Jay is favorite dish with the upper tens" Thereupon, the young man inquired the price and Bob answered 90 cents per can. As the young man did not wish to be so extravigant, he did not in vest. As far as we know, this young man is wandering over this world dreaming of Blue Jays every night.

Public His Decision.

In spite of the oveTshadOwing import

tivity today in speculation on the Dis
trict CommissionershiD. Though it is
generally admitted that the struggle Is
now in the last stage, there is no au-
thoTity for any statement that the Com
missioner has already been selected.
Three names are still heard in connec-
ton with the place, and 10 announce
ment is expected for another day at
least. The fact that the President has
the coal strike TO deal with today and
tomorrow IS but one part Of The rea-
soning. One OF the three candidates,
whose chances have been very highly
regarded, Is now looked upon as having
been eliminated from the contest. 1eaE-
