BANKSVILLE and V1GINITY.J
o
A largo herd of cattle passed through here ,
bound for Idaho , on the 17th.
Tho U. B. church held their quarterly meetJ
ing . at the Dodye school house , on Satin day
and Sunday , the 14th and 15th insts.
Geo. Lincoln went for a load of wood , and
during the trip he ran two or three tires off1
broke his ax and didu't get any wood cither ,
He got home with the team , however.
Samuel Ellis and W. H. Benjuinin went to
Indianola , on Saturday , the 14th , to represent
Gerver ami Grant precincts , respectively , at
the meeting of the republican committee men.
A sister of Fred and Ed Benjamin ( our esti
mable cousins ) is on a visit which she expects
to prolong four or six weeks. We trust fahe
will carry a good report of our country to her
home.
The republicans of Gerverpiecinct wi'l ' meet
on Saturday night , at the Dodge school house ,
and , organize a republican club. We propose
to make this campaign a success. Grant pre
cinct will follow with an organization.
On Saturday last , Mr. Joe Whittaker was
called upon to bury his child. Mr. Whittaker
has the symapthy of the people. It was only
.
last October that he buried his wile and now
comes another allliction and another bond is
established between this world and the future.
Miss Lincoln and her sister , Mrs. Frost , were
the heroines of quite an interesting event , the
Orst of the wcok. It seems that a raccoon , for
some occult leason , had strayed on their plnce
and the ladies , armed with a spade and other
deadly weapons , attacked this diminutive
member of bruiu's family , and dispatched him
without quarter. Bravo !
Some men seem to imagine they can say or
do anything they choose and yet their party
will be unable to exist without their saving
presence. A short time ago we remember a
man , who was canvassing for the nomination
to the oilice of county treasurer , who said that
J
if the party did not nominate him , he would
.
"bolt the tiekef'aud now he wants the republi
can party to overlook tins and make him rep
resentative. Oh , consistency , thou art a virtue.
Harry Benjamin is over from Cornell run
ning the binder for his father. Apropos to
harvesting , we must say , that there is a good
crop of small grain in every instance where it
was farmed in a workmanlike manner. All
that is necessary to raise good crops here , is
the same that is necessary everywhere , viz :
A thorough cultivation of the ground and
planting of the grain. You can't raise good
crops and slight your work any more than a
mercliant can st in his store with his feet on
the counter and without paying any attention
to ( his customers , expect that liis business will
prosper.
"Coal Baron"and "Iron King" Scott.of Penn
sylvania : , democratic member of congress and
member of the committee that prepared the
so-called ' Mills tariff bill , advocated with much
enthusiasm the placing of wool and divers
other "raw materials , " as he termed them , on
tho ] free list ; but did he place iron ore on that
list ? Oh , no , this embryonal cabinet officer ,
virtually said , with Pccksniflhin candor , to
other producers , "Freo trade is good enough
for , you , but I am an iron producer and don't
long for free iron ore. " This bill created , as
Mr. Mills stated , to "destroy trusts" fails to
reach < King Scott , who isamember of thecom-
bination in Pennsylvania , to limit the coal out
put and connol prices. A small amount of
consistency would form an excellent ingredi
ent ; to stir up with democratic statesmanship
? ) we apprehend. SivAirr.
OCCASIONAL BUDGET.
o
County Clerk Koper , having made final proof
It was a five-year one ) on his Brush cieek
claim , last Friday , on the following day moved
his family aud household effects to the county-
seat ( wheye they will reside during his tenure
of office. We regret to note that Mrs. Roper's
health is anything but robust and vigorous.
Tlieir neighbors will miss them sreatly. tt
Mr. acd Mrs. William Brunner of Brush S
creek gave a dance , last Friday night , to a
large company of neighbors nnd friends. A
very pleasant eveningwas spent in dancing
and in disposing of the delicious ice cream and
cake that occupied an important place in the
program.
Boyd's park at mouth of Driftwood has come
to ( be quite a popular Sunday resort by tho
young of the city. Some antidote for this poi
soning business ought to be discovered , how
ever , or its popularity will become greatly im
paired.
