form the public what they intended to do.


Louis Raab was the first to give us a call. He
came to town to see about some merchandise
that was on the road for him and thought he
would "come ana see us, and also have his ad.
vertlsement enlarged. Louis says he has more
money than he knows what to do with and
therefore has invested portion of it in dry
goods, clothing and other goods which he in
TENDS to sell at very low prices, for the benefit
OF the junction City people. He has made great
improvements in the appearance of his store, and
insnuates that it will take about $lOO 900 to fill
it up next Fall. Don't fail to read his NAM
moth announcement in another column.


Next came George Laws, who handed us a list
OF managers for the school ball to be given on
the Fourth of July for the benefit of the school
fund of Junction City District. The people of
that section have displayed considerable pluck
and energy in erecting new school-house and
securing the services of an excellent teacher for
the benefit of the little ones and it is no more
than their due that the people Of the county gen.
orally should patronize them. A good time is
expected at the dance and cordial invitation is
extended to all. See notice elsewhere


After him came our old friend Henry Osthoff
looking hearty as usual and in good humor as
he always is. Henry never gets "the blues"
lie tells us that business is rushing with him.
that his stock has been enlarged and that he
thinks about $3.50 will buy all the goods he
will need for next Winter; if that is not sufi-
cient he says he will "stand raise, " and .'go a
few thousand better" There is no use in talk
ing, Henry is bound to make business go. Read
his advertisement.


The next who came was a stranger-Dr. NJ.
Schulz, late of New Orleans. He informs us
that he is an old Californian, having practiced
his profession in the city of Sacramento from
1851 to 1857. He then went to New Orleans,
where he remained until about one year ago,
when he returned to California. He has come
here with the intention of locating permanently,
and has fitted up an Office in Cliford's building,
two doors above Hocker's store. His card will
be found elsewhere


John ). Ferrier, late of the Douglas City meat
market, was in town, and wishing to say a few
words to his old friends and patrons, very sensi-
bly, concluded to do so through the advertising
columns of the JOURNAL. Having sold out his
business at Douglas it is necessary for all those
indebted to him to come forward and settle
promptly as they will thereby probably save
some expense. Mr.. Ferrier also gives notice
that he has four yoke of work cattle, in good or
der aud we'll broke, which he will sell cheap if
applied for soon. Ferrier don't know what he
will do yet, but we hope he will conclude to re-
main in this county, as we always feel sorry to
lose as good citizen as he is.


! NJ Lang came in Thursday and desired us to
advertise that he would receive a large lot of
new potatoes and onions next Monday. Every
body likes new vegetables and we predict that
those Will so on be sold. See advertisement
A FIRsT-CLAss ITEM SpolLED.-On last Tues
day evening the report was spread around town
that Mr.. John Clifford, the accommodating Hum
boldt mail man. had met with a sad accident
The rumor came from Burnt Ranch that Johns
horse had fallen on him and broken his leg. OF
course, local editor is always glad to hear of
an item of this kind, and we rejoced at the pros
pect OF furnishing readers with a frst-cIass
sensational accident. We had made up our

John riding along the lonely trail from Burnt
Ranch toward the South Fork, his horse slips
and falls upon him and his leg is broken. Then
we proposed to draw out the sympathies of the
reader. We would show them that John was
miles away from any settlement unable to move
and writhing in agony for many hours before
any one came along to aid him in reaching a
hpt,S md I,,I All II.
we thought the people would like to know who
rescued him, and, not knowing who it was our
self, we started down town to see his brother
Richard at Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Office in order
that we might learn further particular. The
very first man we met upon turning the corner
was John Clifford We saw that he was not suf-
fering great deal and thought he might inform
us of the details We accosted him thusly :
Halo, Chuck, which leg is broke 2" "Just
turn round and Yll show you," says John,
laughing, q" that neither of them is" We were
willing to take his word for it. So it appeared
that it was all hoax and he had had no acci-
dent at all. Well, aside from losing the item
we are glad to know that the report is untrue.


AN OLD RESIDENT DRowNED.-Mr. " Caraway
writes us from the Forks of New River, May
9th, that word had just been received there of
the drowning of Mr.. Knutze, German, on the
Tuesday previous, in attempting to cross New
River in boat A letter from Mr. E. Bontecou
dated Martinville, June 4th informs US of the
same accident and also that the body had not
been recovered at last account He also stated
that Mr.. KnutZe had been n resident at the same
place on New River for the past fourteen years
School DANCE AT JUNCTION CITY.-There was
social dance at the junction City School
