During the hot, sultry su minor

It lias long been a question in our
mind whether married men consider
ice cronm healthful tor their wires. To
the best of our knowledge and belief,
unmarried young ladies do cut lee
cream.
An exchange romnrks that when a
young lady Is sitting In a hum. nock with
a gentleman so elo.-.o to her that she
jumps and blushes when a lightning
bug strikes alight.lt is tlmo that ho
was Interviewing her parents.

that prompted It.
A young lail by the naino of Willie
Maren was drowned while bathing in
tho UiirMuddv near St. Joseph last
week. His body was recovered anil
taken to his grief-striokeu parents, who
only a few hours previous had scut him

When a sweet, llttlo dlinpled child
skips up gleefully and rests its curly
he.sd on your kneo and at tho same time
put ten molasses-smeared lingers on'
your light summer pants, Ills well lo
remember that of such Is the kingdom
of heaven, but It Is far moro natural to
swear out loud.
Tho city authorities ought to cut
tho weeds from tho plank walks in town
for two reasons: One is that it would
save tho ladies dresses and thu other It
would save the walks from rotting and
eauso them to hwt twice as long. A few
dollars snout In this way would bo a
good investment.
Tito fashion of ladles Kissing each
other is all out of fashion now. When
two ladies meet they touch ouch other's
llger tijis, faintly murmur, "so glad,"
snillo sweetly, and pass on. When two
gentlemen meet, they shako bunds mid

" Theodore GreeHpleklo," let us
hoar from you often.
St. Joseph enjoyed a 810,000 flro
last Monday night, of which about half
was covered with insurance.
We wish poles grew as long as to
reach from here to iScw Point. Wo
would punch up our correspendont
out there.
Thcro will bo no service In tho
Presbyterian church on next Sabbath,
as Mr. Miller has been called away to
another part of tho Stato on that day.
Ono reason why people do not visit
stores that do not advertise is because
they do not wish to distuib the boy
who is reading a novel behind the coun
ter. The anniversary of tho Hiblo So
ciety will bo hold at tho M. K. church,
Sunday oveuing. Addresses by Hevs.
Miller, Gardner Lingo and others. All
invited lo attend and enjoy the evening.
We notice that the "grocery sam-
plo man" has been visiting (ii-nudy
and other counties, swindling the peo
plo considerably. Look out for them,
for thtf next thing you know, they will
turn up .somewhere in Holt.
Tho way Mr. (leorgo Colvin was

lit up his countenance ltku an electric
light on a frozen sea. It was a girl:
weight just nine pounds, and parents
and child are till doing well up to last
accounts.
A rumor was nlloat on Tuesday
evening that Mis. Dr. Talbott,of Mary
villo, had committed suicide and con
fessed to t lie whole erinio in regit id to
.tho 'assassination rtf her kite liinl:tnd.
Tho report wont lrom mouth to mouth,
and spread like wild-fire. Hut it was
later found out to be a canard mid with
out foundation. Hut It was a good joko
on those folUws who " always expected
that would bo tho ease," and " I told
you so or I always did think that
would bo tho end of it," &e., &c.
A man's county paper is wortii
more to him than all tho papers in tho
world; if it is not, it is his own fault. If
tho county paper is properly encour
aged, 11 may bo lolled upon for infor
mation of moro value to tho people in
whoso interest It is issued than can be
found tn all tho city papers in thu Uni
ted Slates. No man can afford to bo
without tho paper that publishes tho
publlu sales, markets, court news and
other local intelligence. If tho pap;.r
Is poor, tho people aro move at fault
than tho publisher for not giving it a
liberal patronage.

" Mother, May I Go Out lo Swim ? "
Quito nu interesting sceno took
place In thu creek just ubovu Kunkle's
mill last week which was told lo us by
tin uninterested party whose capacity
for truth and veracity is consldera'jly
ab.ivo par. It seems that three or four
of Oregon's high-toned Mielety hollos
had just heard of the old adage that
"cleanliness Is the next thing to godli
ness," e .included they would try thu ex
periment by taking an open air bath, n
swim and have a good jolly time all to
themselves as the "boys" do. This
would have been nil light and proper
too, hud they not divulged their secret
to two neighbor girls who reside in
that vicinity, and who bent upon having
a little luu, thought ItVoiild bu a good
joke lo dress theni-ielvos up In men's
clothes and give the iady bntliors a good
scare; and It is useless to add that they
were highly succussl'ul. Having attired
themselves In male, garments iind two
old slouch hats they proceeded to creep
up the bank where the female swim
mers wero having a huge old time, div
ing and splashing around in the water
They crawled up within about twenty ;
yards ot the place and listened to the
many remarks that rent the still, noon
day tiir, mid numerous remarks like the
following greeted tlio iMenor'.s cars:
"Xow just watch me dive," "Can you
swim on your back F" "Why of courso
I can." "t)h get away and let me
show you how long 1 can May under."
When till at once, the girls who lay in
the brush thinking forbearance ceased
to bo a virtue, raised up and made a
rush to the spot, at the same time gave
a wiioop that woiihl have done credit to
a Coiniuaiiche wairior. Then there was
a K-cuu that bullies nil ile-crlption, and
one which our pen lads to pictuiu. A
jump; a scream; tt yell of agonizing j
surprise which foretold revenge in its
very utterance; a few white streaks I
llitled with lightning rapidity through j
the thin open air, and then all was si
lent, save the rippling of tho waters .
which were rc-iiiuing their natural
course again. The female bathers had
Hindu a vacancy in tlie.itinocphcre, as It
weio; ovnporatccd so to speak, and no
ouu would over litivu known who thuy .
wero had they not been detected silent
ly sneaking in thu back way with each
other's clothes on.

George Culler was arraigned be
fore 'Squlro Hayes, of Craig, last Mon
day, charged with having on the l.'th
Inst, committed nu iis-ault on Junius
Gillinoro with intent to kill. Prosecut
ing Attorney L. 11. Knowles appeared
for Iho Slate and J W. Stokes tor the
defence, lloth parlies reside in Corning.
The affair seenis surrounded with some
mystery which failed to be eiitlruly tin
rive led In tho trial. It seems that
about tun o'clock at night, as Gillmorc
was going home tho assault took place,
and he claims that the defendant was
hid behind a fencu corner, mid us he,
Gillinoro, passed by, defendant arose
and struck him over tho arms and shoul
ders with ii largo hickory cane, repeat
ing the blow finally succeeded m knock
ing him down and whcrupoii bobcat
him over thu head and face with tho
cauu in a brutal manner. Some rail
road hands healing his cries, came to
Ins relief and took chargu of tho defend
ant, Collor claims that Gillinoro as
studied til in with a cane and what ho
did was in seli'-dufoneo, after a few of
tho witnesses wero examined tho ease
was Hibmlttcd to His Honor, and the
dufiiidant, as usual, was discharged.
Tho easo will probably go before the

proper investigation.
