Tells a Few More Things.
Dunn's Mountain, Dec. 90.
The weather at this point
is still changeable.
James Horah and family
have moved to Mrs. M. J..
Cauble's and will raise a crop.
Glad to have Mr.. Horah and
family with us.
John Leonard and family,
who for the past two years,
has been living in this neigh:~
borhood has gone, departed,
left, vamoosed, and never
even said good>bye nor gave
us anything TO remember him
by. Peace go with him, for
a. last we will have an abund~
ant supply Of the same.
W. saw a funny thing a
short time ago. While cer>
tain parties were at supper a
kitten got some kind of a
funny spell and ran around
the room, ran against a win
dow, a stove and did various
other antics, causing the La
dies to mount chairs.
John H. Prick will soon
close his gin for the season.
Any one who has cotton for
this gin will do we'll to haul
it at an early date.
Mrs. Christina Earnhardt
is confined to her room with
tuberculosis. However, We
Wish her a speedy recovery.
It seems as if Patrons is
trying to give us a good one
just below the belt. Well,
we can take our medicine .
We don't know anything
about the blind leading act,
but from what we can learn
from reliable parties one has
taken the lead and judging
by results this one must have
been blind, manned and halt,
for surely the whole push
have tumbled in the ditch.
We learn that Mr.. Riblin has
given up the school, because
he was promised a certain
amount and the law does not
allow him this amount. Now,
we have known Mr.. Riblin
about as long as some of the
rest around here, say 10 or -
years, and can vouch for him
for he is o. K, but has been
mislead, as the matter Of his
salary stands. The commits
tee should consist Of three
good men, but it seems from
the statement of two of these
that they have had no chance
to act in any of these mat
tiers. Yes, if you can get a
good teacher, hire him for
the rest Of his natural life,
but don't promise him more
money than the law allows.
As for desks, we have never
seen any new ones nor have
We seen any one who has.
These desks were, so We hear,
ordered about the time the
desks were ordered for the
Granite Quarry school, which
came promptly, while the
Dunn's Mountain desks have
not arrived yet. AS for Mr..
Riblin, be will manage the
school as it should be, if let
alone, but as for Patrons dos
ing the kicking out act, he
had better think twice before
he starts on his kicking ex~
petition, we don't believe
Mr.. Riblin will stand any
such treatment. Don't do
anything rash, for it may
hurt your feelings, Brother
Patrons.
The Jr. 0. U. A. M, Coun>
Gil will meet Saturday even-
ing, the 4th of January, at
1880 p. N. The new officers
will be installed at this meets
ing. We hope to secure a
large number of the members
and as many other brothers
from other councils as can
come, if the weather is per>
misable.
Rev. Spreckle will preach
at Union E.. L. church Sum
day, the 10Th day of January.

George H. Rennie and yesterday the
President Of Council said it mattered
little to him whether the next collector
was a Democrat or a Republican, but
he must be a clean, upright man.
All manner Of reports are flying

claims he has fulfilled his promises.
Then again it is asserted that three

"JAWNS" WANT
new MANAGER

An Altoona paper prints the following
dispatch under a Johnstown date line Of
June 30.
The Johnstown club continues to drop
nearly all Of us games. only nve con-
tests have been won since Manager Daly
took hold, May Is. There is talk OF new
manager when the team returns to the
olty and it Is rumored that even now
arrangements are under way with a man
Of reputation to assume the leadership Of
the team.
The disappointment among the fans OF
the city over the showing OF the team is
most bitter. The principal fault appears
TO be that persons entrely unschooled In
baseball have undertaken 10 guide the
destnies Of the team That they have
thus FAR made a mess OF It goes without
saying.
one instance showing that Manager
DAILY Is not IN entire charge Of things Is
Of recent occurrence. DAILY sent word
back TO Johnstown TO release Wiltse, who
was in tho city. The local association, or
a majority Of It's members, at once raised
howl with the result that DAILY was
told that he would have TO keep Wilisc
and let Chappeile or some other man go
Thcn Flourney and Chappelle were given
tho ''lsibosh." the former going 70 Tren-
ton and the latter to Wilmington. Flour
ney celebrated his first game with Tren-
ton against Johnsiown by stealing home
with the tying run, and Trenton won
out after ten innings of pay. chappelle
made good IN his first game with Whining
ton, when he shut out Altoona without a
run and with only four hits. Neither man
ala any such work for Johnstown, and
tho fans aro wondering why.
There is a general demand. growing
stronger day by day, that a capable man
ager be secured that Conn be played on
first base and several hard-httlng out
nelders be added TO the roll. There was
some talk Of the city councils taking the
matter up. as the club plays on public
/ grounds. but II is hardly likely that any
thing IN this line viii be done at the
/ present time.

failure to fight Jack Johnson ln
Australia this way:
when Jack Johnson. the champion
coiored heavyweight of America,
visited Australia with the expressed
determination to fight me- how was il
that 1 didn't fight him?
Does Bin SCures draw the colored
limo? These questions have been ask
ed me of dozens of times. And I Will
answer them.
Jack Johnson, on reaching Austria
liza. spread the news broadcast that he
would like to secure q match with me
and would post $4,000 as a side bet. I
posted my money and on having a talk
with him ] asked him to post his
money and we would talk business.
johnson informed me that he had no
money at the time. but il 1 would fight
him he could get as much backing as
he wished. / then told him TO get his
money up and I would have another
talk with him later
There the matter rested until john
son again began talking. on the 18th
of February 1 was TO sail for America.
on the 1st / had another talk with
Johnson. / told him | had to sail on
the 18th. and as ] needed at least two
days TO prepare myself before going,
would fight him on the 18th, under
any condition, at any place, with or
without gloves and ucder any rules
f,roNiIfnus ia would p,at his forfeit
johnson then said there would be
no trouble about the money, but he
could not condition himself in that
short time These are reasons why
J johnson and myself have never fought
