"Uncle Sam" sells dried fruits off

Now is the time the impecuneous
young man, walking with his girl, dreads
to approach the ice cream saloon.
Musquitocs and the thousand and
one troublesome insects that make life a
burden, are now becoming plenty.
We are glad to know that the Chief
is now well liked by every one except our
down town friend (that wears good
clothes.)
C. W. Lyman, Esq. representing

Miner Bros, have the largest and
most complete stock of goods to be found

at prices that defy competition.
The hot sun, last Saturday scorched
the wheat 'til it looked in places as
though it had been burned over by fire.
It will not damage the crop, however.
A couple of professional gamblers
and dead-beats stopped in town a few
days last week and succeeded in fleecing
some of tho green 'uns out of dome
money.
There are so many new buildings
going up in town that we cannot keep
track of them. Everybody (except the

We publish the proceedings of the
Board of Co., Commissioners, not be
cause we get paid "for it, aa we do not,
but because we think that in justice to
the people of the county, they should he
published in a paper of general circula
tion. C. C. Coon, Esq., an old settler of
this county, and a valued friend of the
Chief, called last Friday and left on the
editorial table a bunch of the largest and
nicest wine pie-plant we have seen in a
good while. The Chief tenders its
thanks.
H. 8 Montgomery, otherwise uCal

Last Tuesday morning, at the cry of
fire, a Iarpe crowd gathered to witoeae
theburoiog oat of the flao in Mr. Thorn p
w)D8 house. A gale of wind was blow
ing from the north, and it waa fortunate
that no damage. was done.
The sympathy which the State Jour
mil extends to murderers and assassins of
the worst type would bo better placed,
in our opinion, if given to the widows
and orphans of the victims of the fiends
who are the objects of the Journal's
condolence.
One of our citizens took a trip to
the country last week and remained
away over night, which very naturally
caused the folks at home to become un
easy, and consequently, in the morning
an ambulence was dispatched to hunt up
and bring home tho truant. The party
who was supposed to have been lost, re
turned all right, while the ambulence is
supposed to be still prosecuting the
search.
We had thought, upon reading the
false acusitions aimed at us last week by
the rcaderless concern of the lower end
of town, that we would make no answer
to its silly prating, but as its dozen or so
readers in the country might believe a
portion of its remarks, we -will just say
that the "opposition ticket" was not
supported by us, we simply printed the
tickets for a stated price, which we opine
our worthy contemporary would have been
glad to have done. The namo of Mr.
Flatt was printed on the tickets just as
it was given us by the parties having the
work Hone. If the editor of the reader'
let continues in this way misrepresen
ting facts he will soon bear the same
reputation in this country that he did in !
Iowa that of being the champion liar of
the state.

ADVICE TO A NEW CHOIB SIN&E3.
Dear Miss: Thia is an important
epock into your life. The first thing to
make a good choir singer is te giggle a
little.
Put your hair in cirl papers evry Fri
day mte bozo to have it in good shape
Sunday morning. If your daddy is rich
you can buy some store hair. If he is
very rich boy some more and build it
high up onto your head; then git a high
priced bonnet that runs up very high, at
the high part of it, and get the milliner
to plant some high grown artifiehels onto
the highest part of it This will help
you sing high, as sonhrano is the high
est part
When the tnne is giv out, don't pay
attention to it, and then giggle. Giggle
a good ell.
Whisper to the girl next to you that
Em. Jones, who sets on the fecopd seat
from the front, on the left hand side, has
ner bunnit with the same color exact aa
she had last year, and then put your
book to your face and giggle.
Object to every tune, unless there is a
solow in it for the sophraoo. Coff and
ham a good ell before you begin to
sing.
When you sing a solow shake the arti
fishels off your bonnit, and when you
come to a high tone brace yourself back
a little, twist yourself to one side, and
oen your mouth the widest on that side,
shut the eye on the saaae side just a
trirhel, and then put in for dear life. -
When the preacher gets under way
with his preachm', write a note on the
blank leaf, into the fourth part of your
note-book. That's what the blank leaf
was made for. Gil aoanebody to pass the
note to sumbody eke, and you watch
them while they read it, ami then gig
gle. If anybody talks or kughs in the con
gregation and the preacher takes notiee
of it that'a-a good chests for yoet to gig
gle, and you ought to giggle a great eel
The preacher darwit my anything to
you hekaus you are iu the quire, and he
can't run the medio' house at both ends
without the quire. If you had a how
before you went into the quire; give hint
the mittin you ought to have some
thing better now.
Don't forget to giggle. Jotk Bdlingu
