It you take lioou s oarsap arilla faithfully and pesisteutly.yott will surely be benefited. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather, the dance given at Kvan's Hall Monday night, was a right smart event. We understand the cotillcn was led by Mr. P. K Vannatta. The blizzajd has prevented the oyster boats from making their trips, some of them being tied up for 10 days by the cold weather. Unless the weather moderates, an oyster famine is predicted. The ballots for the election to be held on Tuesday, February 21st, are now being printed at this office.

The Concert given by the Band in the Opera House Friday "night, was, taking the extremely cold weather into consideration, very successful.

Another concert will be given in the early part of April. Dr. T. C. Harter had the mis fortune to have his hot water heater at his residence freeze and burst last Friday. With the thermotnetor below zero this was an unpleasant situation. No repairs of the kind needed could be found in town, and had to be telegraphed for. Ralph Phillips and family who live in one half of the Doctor's house, moved down to Mrs. Phillips' boarding house until the repairs were made. John G. Harman Esq., is an nounced in this issue as a candidate for District Attorney. He is the present incumbent, and asks lor a second term. The duties of the of fice have been performed bv him faithfully, fearlessly, impartially, with ability, and the people know that he is a competent and efficient officer. They will have an oppor-' tunity to say whether they want to retain such a man in a responsible and important office.

Out of respect to the memory of Mr. Neal, who was President of the Board of Trustees for many years, the school was closed in the afternoon. At a meeting of the Columbia County Bar Association, held in the Court room on Monday after noon, the Secretary was directed to invite all members of the Bar, to become members of the Bar Associ ation. There are quite a number of the younger lawyers who are not member, and in order to make the association a success, every lawyer in the county should join it. The only requisites of membership are the payment of a year's dues and signing the constitution. Every member complying with these con ditions is entitled to a key to the Law Library.

Shaffer on Iron street above Third. J. R. Schuyler will take the rooms vacated by Mr. Hess, and Harry Keller will move in where Mr. Schuyler now is. The Gidding & Co. shoe store has been closed. B. A. Gidding has purchased the clothing store, and will continue to conduct it in the old stand, the Wells building. He is an active, energetic young man, and will, no doubt, make it successful. J. M. Gidding-, who retires from the firm, will engage in business in Duluth. He is a hustling business man, and his clothing store was one of the largest and best stocked in this section. When he came here some years ago he revolutionized the system of advertis:ng that had been followed for many years by our merchants. The custom then was to place a standing advertise ment in the paper and let it remain for mouths or a year without change. He changed every week, and by so doing, compelled other advertisers to do the same. This was more trouble for the newspa pers, but produced much more sat isfactory results for their patrons During the six years that Mr. Gid ding was engaged in trade here, we had extensive dealings with nun, and lound him always to be an honorable man, affable in manner, gentlemanly in conduct, and pleas ant in his business relations. He has made many friends here, and the departure of himself and esti mable wife will be regretted by their acquaintances. They expect to go to Duluth about, March ist.

Is It to quit the dish Of flesh, yet still to fill The platter high with fish ? Is it to fast an hour, Or ragged to go or show A downcast look, and four ? No ! 'Tis a fast to dole Thy sheaf of wheat and meat Unto the hungry soul. It is to fast from itrife, From old debate and hate, To circumcize thy life To show a heart grief-rent j To starve thy sin, not bin And that's to keep thy lent. Herrick. A new committee to examine law students was appointed on Monday. The admission of members of the Bar ought not be a mere form. Every requirement ought to be rig idly observed, and no man should be permitted to become a lawyer unless he passes satisfactorily the examinations prescribed by law and the rules of Court. Mr. E. C. Wells has been in Philadelphia for several months, and is now confined to his bed by illness. A letter was received from him by his son-in-law, S. C. Creasy, this week, it being the first one he has been able to write for some time. His son, J. G. Wells, is with him. Mr. Wells is one of our most highly esteemed citizens, and his restoration to health is earnestly wished for by a large circle of friends. It is predicted that the present will be a prosperous year among lumbermen of this state.

A busy season among the mills and factories means a prosperous time among the workingmen. A man in the neighborhood of twentv-five years of age, whose name we were unable to learn, was ejected from Mrs. Phillips' parlor by Lawrence Tooley, one of the boarders, about half-past twelve o'clock Tuesday night. Mr. Tooley had just gone in, and striking a match discovered the intruder, who had apparently just entered, stand ing in the middle of the room. He said he had no intention of robbing the house or terrorizing any one, but was suffering from the bitter cold, and finding the hall door open, had stepped in to warm up. WILSON GAEDNEH. Frank H. Wilson, son of O. T, Wilson, and Miss Katharine, only daughter of Dr. B. F. Gardner, were married at the bride s home on Tues day afternoon at 3 o'clock, by Rev, D. N. Kirkby.
