 NEGRESS CRIES ~FIRE'

A drunken negress whose vision was doing acrobatic stunts. noticed lamp in a house at the corner of Julia and Perry Streets which to her appeared imbued with the malignant purpose of floating up to the ceiling and igniting the woodwork. In her eagerness to prevent catastrophe, so it is supposed. she telephoned the fire department at a:55 o'clock that the neighborhood was on fire.
 Upon responding to the alarm. the firemen could detect no signs of a con- nagration. in fact could see nothing but the negress and her not long in one spot. After searching for any possible blaze, the locality was deserted save by the drunken woman. who still remained on faithful watch.

About Town.

In a Prescott household where
 there are two little girls near the same age, lived a cat named
 Sammy. This cat had been the
 cause of many a tilt between the
 little misses on account of ieal- ous love for the pet, and the situ- ation had become so acute that older members of the family had
 threatened it's punishment. But one evening last week, while a fuss was brewing over Sammy. !" there suddenly appeared on the scene, a new cat, exactly like the other One-the same size, same sex, same color, same spots in the same place, and with the same expression of countenance
 Each Of the little girls, who occupy different rooms, had got posses sion of a cat apiece and was quietly keeping Sammy" as they thought, all to herself, in her apartments, and silen t lyI how mad the other one would be if she knew it. How ever, the fact of the two cats finally leaked out, but even now

It is unfortunate that the farmers of Nevada county are having to buy so much corn. Last year was so unseason- able, however, that nothing like a full crop was made.
