means of which every sulierer, no

"Watchman" you areslightly mis
taken about Vale's disappointment,
Didn't you intend to sag it was R, J.
Thompson that thinks some of com
mitting Susan side (Susan M.) not
me.
He didn't care if his clothes were
wet and spoiled but it was that photo
graph that came from the far distant
west that he first thought of when the
little log rolled him into the water up
to his chin. Charles why don't you
leave Delia at home when you go
across lots '.'
Some people never fail to find out
the faults of others but it is a mystery
to us why they can never notice their
own errors. We know it to be a fact
.that he made an engagement with her
to call on Tuesday evening but failed.
We trust Jack will try and be more
punctual in the future.
Father Graham says that "Watch
man" don't know as much as old Ben
and old Ben don't know enough to
step over a log without falling. HjC
thinks there Is no use of a "Watch
man" at this place but has come to
the conclusion that every one will have
to watch their lien roosts.
It is a mystery to many how "L.
C. A." finds out that Betsy talks so
much about Vale's good horse. It is
all clear to us. Philip inlorms us
that Becky is about taking to. herself
another husband. You know if this
be true, which we have no reason to
doubt, why should not "L; C- A."
know all that Betsy has to say.
L. C. Horton patched up his tele

"Swamper" was in town Thurs
day. John Green and his dog spent a
few days of last week in Ridgway.
Brockwayvillo was very dull last
week. Squire Sibley was the only
man in town that appeared to be
busy.
G. W. Sibley has vacated the Rail
road House. The vacancy is filled by
his son, A. W. Sibley, who dishes up
the hash in just as fine style as the old
man.
The revival meetings at the Lane
school house conducted by the Itcv.
Philo. Bowdish fatill continues. On
Suuday evening about 30 persons' vis
ited the mourner's bench. The success
achieved is duly merited as a reward
for the earnestness with which Mr.
Bowdisli pursues his work.
The preacher has just made the
assertion, "Although general Jackson
was a great man, he would bo damned
just as soon as a Guinea nigger,"th row
ing his arm around by way of making
the expression emphatic and struck
Ed. Green square in tlio eye. Ed
claims to have seen stars, not like the
minims that crowd the canopy at
night, but large ones like Jupiter aud
Mars, and persons sitting in tlio ini
mediate vicinity say they heard him
utter "curses not loud but deep."
Those who have the opportunity
should not fail to call at "D Tective's
office and examine the machine there
on exhibition for expediating the work
of manufacturing shoes, and cutting
tobacco and Irom which, with the as
sistance of "D Tective" you can grind
out imeniense quantities of oetry
The inventions of Eddison and Morse
con not cope with this super-human
machine. "D Tective" claims to be
the inventor, but we have reason to
believe he is not. A causal observer
judging from Its antiquated appear
ance would say that it might have
been stolen from the ancients or resur
rected from some subtorraueau cavern
and is one of the lost arts.

There Is a man in our town who
is awful bold nnd queer, and every
time he gets a chance he takes a glass
of beer, and then he'd singj for lager
beer I long have sought nnd mourned
because my money' played out, and
then he would fdgh and shed a tear
and say to the clerk set up the beer
aud if Bill don't pay nether will I.
But the beer I must have for I am
awful dry. Oh no says a voice from
behind the bar you can have no more
beer but take a cigar and then he left
saying I am no fool my name is Bird.
That was a snide got off on us
from thatgarulous young Watchman,
it Is too preposterous for serious con
