families" were enjoying themselves the
other night "Iu a moral way."
We learn that diptheria has been
prevalent to an alarming'exlent, in the

RemenaLer that when you plant

uine tenths of the people in tke county
read them.
We have been so crowded with job
work, the last week, that wo could not
give as much attention to the Chief as
we had ought.
Some idiot, writing in the Argus,

ccedings in full.
Geo. Zeiss has planted a row of
shade trees in front ofhis hotel, which,
if they thrivo, will add much to the at
tractiveness of the place.
One of our entemrising carpenters
is looking forward to next fall as a pros
pective unhealthy season and. consequent

end being reduced to a state of subjection
by our friend Lutz, had a slight misun
derstanding one day latt week, which
culminated in one of them getting so se
verely gored as to unfit him for labor for
some time te come.
The weather can be the most pleas
ant, or the most disagreeable, in this
part of the moral vineyard, of any place
we know of. Last Monday was another
ol those nasty disagreeable dusty windy
days that almost cause a man to wish
that he had died iu his cradle.
The season is appreacbitigwhen the
young man with his hair parted in the
middle, takes an innocent mallet in his
hand and proef eds , cautiously and care
fu'Jy, to hit a ball, and" see hew near he
can come to a friend's shins without hit
tin them. We refer to the manly game
of croquet.

Or. W. Gray, a sort of one horse snide
job printer, holding forth at Omaha, is
floodins this country with circular, offer
ing to do job printing very cheap. The
truth is he feeds out samples of paper he
never duplicates and practices every and
all impositions en his patrons that is
known to tho trade. Any merchant or
business man who would patrouize such
an institution should starve to death, and
we are glad to say but very few of them
do take stock in anything of the kind.
