were miners mid | rospivtors, only'
a few of the merchants of the town
having interest enough in its wel
fare to attend tlx- nufting. Quite
a ouuilx-r of strangers are taking,
an interest in public affairs, and
no doubt a gixxl. live organisation
will Ixt the result.
Ii was decided by the Cox alter

and it is lioped tliat a large num
lx-r will take advantage of this offer j

A New Fashion.
Many men and women like to
wall/, not for the dance, hut for
tin- and .lie chance to hug
anti in- hugged. In the tas> fash
ion lias decreed that ".-itting” out a
waltz is the correct thing. The
position is tin- same and the hug
ging facilities \ustly improved.
You sit lieside the lady, your arm
around her waist, your left hand
holds her right, her left hand on
your shoulder, her head resting
lovingly ou your bosom—and the
music goes on tiie same. This it
much I letter than galloping a mile
to get a hug. There certainly it
no more harm sitting on a soft
hugging to music than rushing
around and squeezing the ladt
evt ry time you turn the corner.
The above item from one of oui
exchanges seems almost too goOt
to lie true. We hojs- that the ne?
fashion will travel West soon
When it readies Valdez, look ou
for dances every night.
