was here yesterday afternoon and
seemed to be in very good humor. He
was seen at the Union passenger sta
ton in very friendly conversation
with Major Hiram L. Grant, who is
connected with what some of the Re.
publicans call the Blackburn wing of
the party.
The weather today was simply glo1i-
Gus with the wind from the south and
plenty of sunshine and never was a
day more enjoyed. Some of the finest
holly and mistletoe ever seen here
were brought in by farmers and sales
were numerous. Both holly and mis-
tletoe are unusually we'll fruited.
