According to the Hoisington Dis
patch's Galatia scribe the proper
name for piano player is "pianoist"

We heard good ope on fe9mer
Justice of the Peace over at Albert.
1t seems that at his first marriage
ceremony he became SO badly raetled
that after he had pronounced the
couple husband and wife he remem
bered one phrase he had forgotten
and said: ''Does any one know of any
reason why this couple should not
wed? If so IT'S too late now which
in the present day language means
that there would have been no use
in "buttin' in"
A young man took up his residence
with Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Ochs last
Sunday evening; his intentions are to

jubilant, as three of q kind beats two
pair. Con will soon have enough to
start base ball team of his own,
take q franchise out in the Kansas
League and be q pennant winner
Here is luck to Conrad No. 8, and
his estimabIe parents. Those cigars
were fine, Mr.. Ochs, but you had
better send Billy Feoer a few if you
want the newcomer to stand in with
the brass buttons of the "DEMoCRAT"
Eh, Billy boys?

often refuse to tell what they know,
why they do. or don't go, and how do
we know, unless they say so-bnt
pshaw! what's the use of US
handing you bunch of homemade
poetry that will not be appreciated
You don't know real poetry when you
see it so what's the use in US wasting
our talent on the desert air of your
adverse criticism. Not bit; ten to
one Juliet will borrow the wings she
gave to the Flying Dutchman and take
q fall out of us that will make that
Sc. so set of teeth that DR.. Raffington
put IN for us look like confederate
ereeuback Ia Boston. So we will cut
