Had Heard It Before.

While engaged in a conversation two
prominent police magistrates began
telling stories of funny cases that had
been brought before them.
Probably the funniest | ever had
remarked one, twas an aged colored
man bearing the earmarks of the south
who applied to me for a warrant. The
offender, it seems, had been blasphem-
ing Rastus before, and ne had then
appealed to me for aid. Standing be-
fore my desk, he proceeded as follows:
"'Yo' honah, ! wants warrant for
George Washington. He's dat colored
man what YOU told to be good two
weeks ago. but he's been worsen evah,
sab. | can stand him no longah.'
'Huinphr l remarked casually

somewhere before

Poughkeepsie, Sept. 23.-Clad in a
dress like the one she wore when she

and white striped hoop skirt, which
she made herself. Save for the hoops
she had exactly reproduced the dress.

whom she married. Her daughter,

and fiattery to have Joe let up little
ON the length of his hair. But in this
he was never successful. Joe would
stop bis shears In the midst of a re-
monstrance and say. MIR. Whistler, do
you want me to cut your hair accord

this put an end to the argument, and
Whistler would come back to our

about Joe.

With the numerous new I'M

and the long looked for regular
daily freight, it goes without
saying that times are not so bad
as we had anticipated.
The newly opened blacksmith
shop of Mr.. Ike Shealy, along
with the flourishing stores Of
Mr.. Hartley and Mr.. George,
make it possible for any one to
get his wants and wishes filled
without going further. Having
all the warehouses on the right
of-way painted adds greatly to
appearances, and from the looks
of crowds about the depot. it is
visited by the majority. And
since business is good on all
sides, can't see any excuse for
saying hard times.

His parents were D. D. and

Ed Kleckly, as he was familiar

was good natured and generous

a large circle of relatives and a
host of friends TO mourn his
death.
