Perkins & Mitchell seem to be
building right up in the grocery business
here. Somehow they seem to keep-oi
hand the best of goodd in their line and
sell them cheap.
It was reported that our cotem
f orary of the south part of town had his
firains dashed out by the foiling hail
stores last Saturday evening, but it was
denied at once on the ground that he
had no brains to dash out.
Mr. T. E. Mooa, formerly of Graf
ton, this j-tate, has opened out a stock of
dry goods, groceries etc , at Oow.'es, and
is already doing a good business. lie is
a live energetic business man, and as
ruch, is boirul to succeed. Read LLs
advertisement in another column.
"We formed the acquaintance of sev
eral of the business man of COwles, the
oilier dy, among whom wo might men
tion T. E. Moon, Merchant; T. Thomas,
Merchant; J. W. Hill, Blacksuiit'i, -Mr.
Crabtree, Carpenter; Mr. Brown, Paint
er, and others whose names we Lave
forgotten.
Last Saturday evening great pre
tentions toward a storm was made in
this vicinity, the lightening was inces-
. ant and uncommon -"sharp but very little
rain followed. Bail stones as large as
. hens eggs fell, bat there was not enough
of .them to do any damage to crops, sev
cral perfons was whacked on the head by
falling hail, which caused them to rue-
fully rub. their patta and seek shelter in
a hurry. .
The good people of Cowles should
-'provide suitable hotel accommodations
for the travelers who stop there. We
are informed that 'no longer ago than
last week a lady (?) passenger got off
there and slept in the depot with the
station agent While we eommend the
liberal and self sacrificing spirit tha
prompts the accommodating agent'" to
share his bed with a stranger, we regret
that he should be thus imposed upon.
Our advertising patronage has in
creased to. such an. extent that we are
compelled to enlarge the Chief as soon
as new column and bead rules can be ob
tained. In the mean time our readers
w31 please bear with us if we do not
give as much reading matter as we would
like, for we will remedy the evil as soon
as possible, end then if the advertising
increases we will print the entire paper
at borne and double the circulation in six
nonths. It caa be done.
We arc informed that a consummate
old ass whose other mme is J. B. Potter
is busily circulating the report that the
circulation of the Chief does not exceed
250 copies. We do not know who pays
the old idiot for lying about us, or
whether ha dots it out of pure cussed
ea?f bat this we do know, if he will
eosae to oar ofice and bring a man with
hitt who ha seaee eaaugh to know what
lie is about, we will show by the books
that the clreaktio of the Cdikf is near
ly three tisaei aa groat as Mr. Potter
claims it is. We do act ktow the cause
of the aaiawaity that could prompt Mr.
Potter t ake web g toss isrepreM
tatkrof, and w our robscrip
tion books a bow the circulation of the
CHIEF. If wahave been misinformed,
and MrPotter has not tried to injure
ouri busings by misrepresentations, as
we,iave been informed, then we will
aWA'ly. ietrsct all we have said, butwc
don't intend to le impend upon ire
knowil.
In rsi n a i
I-arty as wellas ourielC'wtinJ BQUo
Mr. Wrijjht for Lis kind asristance iriL
contributed so largely to the pleasure of
the party, and would say that Le is a
gentleman'wiih whom it is a pleasure to
as-ociate, especially on fishing excur
sions.
To onr reader' who live in town or'
upon the high pr-iirie, we would say that
for real unalloyed pleasure there is noth
in?, perhaps, to equal a fishing excur
fion to foiget the cars of business and
spend a day in the woods ob be banks
of a clear rippling stream, to Lathe in its
limpid waters is a pleasure indeed, and
if you wculd live long, die happy and go
to a letter world, take a day and go
fishing on Elm Creek.
Ed; Chief. I see by a communica
tion in the Ciiikf of the 2Jd signed,
"Carlos" that there it complaint made
of my assistant. I wish to abk some
questions concerning said epis'le.
1. If as your conespondent claims,
that the complaint is eeneral, why get
behind that popular bullwork of news
paper correspondence, when they want
to back bite orwrite that which they d
not care to bcouie responsible for.
2. Would it not have been more
manlike to have come to nte with the
complaint, stating grounds for same,
then if it was not rectified take it to the
highest of tribunal?, the publis. State
your, case- p'ainly and bore all thipgs
doirt get way back- behind an assumed
.name. I
3. Wiff. ""Carlos", state onj instance
where my aistanthas refused or in any
manner faiUd to do a single act required
by the regulations of the department, or
the published rules of this office. If he
can, it is a duty he owes to ui3 as the
principally responsible party, and the
public. I always stand ready to answer
any and all complaints, iju$tt to rectify
the cause of same.
For the benefit of the public and
"Carlos" especially, I will give a few
instances, that would seem to be some
excuse for what ever of a coarse, burly
and unaccomodating disposition that may
have marred the refined, sweet, and
accommodating disposition of "Carlos'
who always desires to please and oblige,
any and everybody no difference how
coarse, rude and surly tkey may be, who
has taken on himself the labor of love
Pr& Bono Publico behind an assumed
name.
For instance, the practice of asking or
having some OQ2 ask fr the same par
ties mail from 3 to 5 limes in as m-ny
hours.- Or calling repeatedly for mail
when you are looking for other parlies.
The practice 'of laving 'a letter ia the
delivery window with the rxclamatiou of
'here stamp this letter."
Or of abusiag tne P. M. or As't be
cause they refuse to deliv cr mail 'before
the ofice is open for biaoest.
These things have baea done daily but
Mr. or Miss P. M. yom mast aot get
oerse or surly, or you will refle the even
and pleasanViemper of "Carlos."
- As to the "moumpeteaey, 1 nave
only to aay this; I do not wish to boast
of the competency ef myself or assistant,
but make your charge, aud if yoa can
sustain it the -depanaaeat wilUsee that
yoa get some one that is competent
