We propose to do what we conceive
to be our duty as a newspaper publisher,
regardless of consequences, "and when we
see a gross wrong being perpetrated, or a
slackness in iho performance of duty on
the part of officials, we shall call attention
to it, not through ill will, or for spite,
but because we believe that it is our
duty to do so.

We learn that the correspondent
cf the Argus at Inavale who wanted to
know whether the Chief published the
proceeding of the county Commiis'oners,
in full, in times past, was really in ear
ned is his inquiries. We can only say
that during the time we published the
Chief, we published the proceedings in
full as per copy furnished us by the coun
ty clerk, and if the corespondent wishes
te know more he will have to compare
the files of the Chief with the records
in the county clerk's effice. We were
responsible for their publication accor
ding to cepy only.
A merchant of this town ordered a bill

We learn that Mr. Taylor Thomas
who is engaged in the Mercantile busi
ness at Cowley met with a kcvere l:.s
last week by the burning of his hay grain
etc., on his farm east of Willow Creek.
As i usual in such cases; the fire orig
inaled through carclessnes of parties who
were burning stalks in ihcir fields.
It is claimed by those who are sup
posed to know, that our illutratious
forefather, Adam, was 123 feet 9 inches,
high, Eve 118 feet 9 inches, Abraham 20
feet and Moss 13 feet. The gnvc of
Noah, in Lebanou is 78 yardj long.

We have just ordered a cut of a fine
stallion, and are prepared to get up
horse-bills on short notice and at reason
able rates. tf.
We took a trip to Piverton last Fri
day, the first time that we bad been to
that thriving town in two years. The
advent of the railroad has worked won
ders with that town, and it is "looming
up" in a way that is cncouragwig. As
we walked the streets we thought it n
pitty that such a go-ahead town should
be located in such a wretched sand bod us
it is. We called on the "Eagle" and
formed the acquaintence of its proprietors
We also dropped in and interviewed P.
A. Williams & Co., Thoy are building
a new store, and when they get it com
pleted they will have the largest buildius
of the kind in town. We met a number
of old friends which wc have not the
space to mention here, but n;iy give
them a "lift" at some future time.

Died the 9lh of April 1879, Infant
son of John and Allie Zachery. Death
comes like a thief in the night it came

It was a sweet and tender bud,
And now it blooms in heaven.

Where no sorrow ever comes.

After crossing the Republican we kept
