Who, in this weather, would be
a lawyer in hotly contested suit?
Or a witness under crossfire? Or
a juryman in the narrow confine-
ment allotted him? His Honor is
the only participant who may tenn
per duty with any degree of COM
fort, and even him the attorneys
not infrequently put into water
caloricized to the boiling point.
The client not infrequently warns
up after the trial, when all the 9th
ers are cooling off.

The Leagues of Pennington Dis
trict will send representatives to
Arcadia on August 25th to inspect

their encampment. Rates of S1.00
per day have been made. There

An apple of singular growth
was brought to this Office by Mr..
w. III. Delano yesterday. It is
fully formed and of medium size.
The upper half is of the Early
Summer variety, ripe and mellow,
while the lower half is a Russet,
green and hard. The joining of
the skins of the two varieties is
perfect, but clearly marked. Mr..
Delano says the trees of the two
sp ecies stand side by side, and he
conjectures that the pollen of their
blooms was carried by bees from
one to the other. A novelty in
fruit grating, indeed.

charge. Full particulars next
week.

The Ironton band made music
for the picnic and horse show at
Belgrade last Saturday. It's a
long drive from here to Bel grade
fully twenty miles. The boys
left here in the big wagon, with
four horses, and did not get home
until two o'clock Sunday morning.
The day was an ideal one for a
picnic, and the attendance i'm
mense. The hospitable Belgrad-
ians saw that every n had a
good time. The boys say that the
Republicans hereabouts who are
forever growing about the roads
in Democratic Iron county should
make the drive to Belgrade. They
would then know and appreciate
how very far superior are the roads
in Democratic Iron county to those
in Republican Washington coun-
ty. And thus 1t hath ever been.
