Colt Times.

Hurrah for the dear old Times and the big new steam press. Such energy and self-saeritie enterprise merits al d Will attain success sooner or later. When we contribute to our county pa ter. we directly contribute 10 our own success, our own honor and our own glory. Put not your light under d bushel measure, but rather let It shine. that all the world might see it. A county, state and d nation has the seal of approval or dsappr0yal Stampt q upon them from tEe impressions made by tbeir newspapers and public ollie als upon the outside world; hence We should be more considerate of our coun- ty papers, and see that our editors are not lacking for the necessary means to carry cut their worthy aims and ambi- tions.
 And yet it rains There Is nothing in sight here but peas, potatoes and to- bscco. Even tbe crab grass refuses to grow. The farmers have he'd back nearly al of their low bottom lands to plant in corn, put it seems as if they are not going to get to plant 1t.
 There was school eection last Sat urday. MT. T. k Wood was cleo ed director. MT. Wood is good citizen and Will make d good director.
 Messrs. Vadakln and Moose were to have been in our liltle city last Mon. day, but on account of the rain and mud failed to show up. Come on, gen tlemen. we think It will pay you to visit Colt, as there are d number Of en- terprising business men and farmers ID this section who are always ready to help any worthy enterprise.
 There IS no use in talking. John Christopher and Jack A Hen are two of the brightest geuiuses in the county. The other morning Johns wife was sick, and 1t devolved upon aim to milk the COW, or do without milk, 50 he seized the pail and started in quest of "old L;Z.' He opened the gate, ad- mltted the calf, ana made lunge for the teats, but nary bit of milk did he get. ''Old Liz" tossed her head in the air and her hind feet into Johns abdo- men, and around the COW pen she flew. Now, John IS not easily vanq uished, so he picks himself up, rubs the mud a little deeper into his pants, and looks at "old Liz" mutters between his teeth, and of to the house he goes. Directly he appears upon the scene again, arrayed in his wife's gown and bonnet, picks up the pail and walks up to "old Liz and milks her without any trouble. Now whoever heard of such caper as thatt Lawrence Williams IS all authority on character and human nature, and he says that any man that will fool d COW, and an "old COW" at that, will simply do anything on earth.
 Next to Jehn, for native genius and bright ideas. comes Jack Allen. Jack was over at our house the other day, when We a got to talking about rais- ing chickens. After while Jack says, Nils Dumping, do you want to know how to keep hens from setting?n Why of course, NIT. Allen, says Nils Dump ling. Well, says Jack, You just get you one of these here cheap watches. and put 1t in her nest. When she feels and hears that watch ticking, if she don't leave that nest forever III pay for lying. The next day Ms Dump ling tried this, aud 1t worked like a charm. Jack says his wife tried it. and 1t worked all right with her hens. II says he k going to have his idea patent ed l believe he can make fortune out of IL. DIC KEY DUMPLtNG.
