indulgiug in the fond idea that we shall
have no real winter, now, awaken to the
rea'izaIion that they know nothing about
weather conditions If the man at the
meteorological bureau knows but little
ABOUT what he is supposed to know all
ABOUT and has, what he calls, flare
packs how does one outside of Official
dom presume to know ANYTHING of what
we may, or, may not have? We are now
having what we interpreted to be pretty
good winter weather.
Edward and Thomas Virden. cousins
OF douglass, Wyoming, came here some
time before Christmas. Ed. was born In
Milton and removed with bis father. his
only surviving parent, to Wyoming
some ) ears ago. Thomas is the son of
broadkiln parents, although born in the
west some nineteen years ago. This is
Ihomas's FIRST visit to the ''effete east''
and he came here to pay a visit and to
take business course in some school.
After many pleasures ard a good time
all around, Thomas enrolled himself as
a student at Banks Business College,
Philadelphia, and entered on his duties
on the Sth inst. On the following day.
Tuesday, Ed. started back for Douglass.
On the night previous I'd. received
telegram from Thomas-sO it is alleged
to check his trunk, etc. to Douglass, as
he would meet him in Philadelphia and
they would return to the blooming
west " together. Ed. met Thomas in
Philadelphia on Tuesday and they both
returned to Milton on Wednesday. They
left Milton on Thursday for their western
home. Thomas is doubtless tired Of the
''etfete east' and who can blame him
after having been brought up in the
Golden West?''
That part of the river which came uu-
der the extension of the sidewalk at the
new bridge, has been filled in, taking,
approximately 1000 loads of dirt, gath
cred from various places in town. When
this is allowed to settle, the new side
walk will be completed.
There are several cases of whooping
cough IN town; perhaps, 1t is a revivica- |
tion of that of last winter.

Recent attempts to improve the artistic
appearance of the Coins of the United
States have been failures as a rule. The
Lincoln one cent stamp piece, issued a
few years ago, was without merit. The
decorations of the new dime are too
much involved Now we have the half
dollar with an eagle in pajamas on one
side, and lady in a cotton night-gowu
on the other What was the mattel with
the old half-dollar? And why, when
we have good coin should we discard
