babies that Preachin' Bill had, only
his babies are ell boys instead Of
girls. Hereceived a telegram from
DIR. Olmstead this forenoon saying
that fine baby boy had arrived at
his house at 6 O'Clock this morning.
AS Mr.. Cullen was already the
father of four bouncing boys, he
had set his heart on the fifth baby
being girl. He also had the SOL
emn promise of DR.. Olmstead when
the fourth boy was born that the
next arrival would be a girl. The
DIR. said then 'Trust it to me, Gull
len, and it W IL be girl" He
feels today that his confidence was
betrayed and that DR.. Olmstead and
the fates are against him.
We are glad to learn that the
mother and child are doing nj 3. ly
and hope baby girl will yet bless
the Cullen home.

HARRY REYNOLDS COMPLAINT

Harry Reynolds stopped Us on
the street last night and asked us
to roast" the county commission
ers and road supervisor for not re-
pairing the bridge between the
Hot Springs and the 4 mile spring
on the Hylton road. He said he
and John Roork worked over an
hour on the bridge before they
could cross with their teams. Also
that he had notified Commissioner
Patterson of the condition of the
bridge about month ago, but no.
thing had been done. If Harry S
complaint is true that bridge should
be made passable for teams.
Harry also said that he was in
favor of the commissioners making
good roads from the farming and
mining communities to their trad
ing and shipping points before they
built a joy road across the country
for automobile tourists. His head
is level on that score.

Nevada is now on the eve of the
greatest growth in an agricultural
line ever before witnessed in the
history of the state for it's wonder
fully rich mines of gold and silver.
While its mines are continually
producing and new ones are being
discovered, and while the mining
game still holds the most attention
in the state, it will not be long be-
fore the farming will eclipse the
working of gold, silver and other
precious metals. Such is history

culture will advance in production,
the mineral yield from the bowels
of the earth will continue to he

MEN are what women marry.
They drink and smoke and swear

if they wore bonnets they would.

and also more geological. Both
men and women sprung from
monkeys but the woman sprung fur
