Mrs. Fowler rot a verv nice valentine
and she is very prcud of it also, but she
expected a nicer one and also Mrs Wi.
c jiell got a very nice one; she was very
proud of it and very thankful to the par
ty that sent it. She intends 10 send a very
idee one in return to the nice little man
and the wi low from Tide Creek got one
fiom Westport, but it was not as nice as
she expected, but very good. She has got
her trap set to catch a fellow. She went
to Neer City not very long ago and got a
rr.ee

and started afoot alut seven
tnile3 to a Lcip-year party at Mr. Swau
rers, but Mr. Clum got the foot-ail, and
wy did not get wry far, so they had to
'return to Mr. Mark Swauger's residerce
Ai.d stop all night The next morning
th?y returned to Bolt Ilavird' store,
and there Mr. Clum went home alone.
The lirh. of Feb. there 'was a ball
given at Mr. Stehruan's house, and the
widow from Tide Creek came down a
foot and alone, expecting Mr, Clum to
1e there, but no, he had not got well of
the tramp they had to Swauger's hali
but her huckle-berry from Westport was
there, so he started at daybreak, and she
came to Neer City to see her Clum.
There we all met on the ltith. at Mrs.
Fowler's, and had a nice d ;nce. Every
body enjoyed themselves; but this poor
little widow woman she did not hardly
know What to do; Mr. Clum was there,
and also Mr. D. from Westport wan
there. Well, you may imagine how she
felt. She was very busy taking care of
them both. She finally got Mr. D. to go
home with her son, and the would be up
the next day, so he did, so she went
with Clum, and tvhsn they started, of
course all of the young men were very
much smitten after her. There Mr.
Charley thought he niijht stand a
little shw, but no go; wht-n they left
th ball-room this Charley ran to
the door to say,
"Good
night."
She
was out of sight; he fell on his knees,
thought he would faint. Well, we will
go on with Clum. They went toddling
over the railrouJd the next day like two
ducks. He saw her home, Mr. D. wait
ing very patiently for hisducksy. Clum
left her at her door, and icturned to his J
home. What burgain she and this D.
wade we have not learned yc. She will
tell when we see her again. Well, Mrs.
I. II. WincheU .and .."Mrs. Fowler felt
very much slighted to think they tried
o bard aaid fixed a week to ehine with
J ' ......
Clummy, then could - :ot git one glance
of his pretty yes; they were placet! on
the Tide Creek widow with the pretty
face and bangs.
Well, lst Sunday Lincoln Stehman
and Samuel Fooler weroyp to Mr. Gir
tyK lake f.kating. Mr. Seford'x boys and
girls' and Beerson's girls wfrc on the ice
having their line winter fun, also Mr.
Johnnie Link ami Miss Netty Srehiiian,
James Fowler and "his honey love, Miss
Matty Arch ibald and Mr. E. W. Fowl
er and Miss Hatty Winchell from Asto
ria. These were all out on tho ice and
sno.r and enjoyed themselves nicely,1 but
Mr. James Fowler's partner wou'.d not
go homo, she went to Mr. Steh man's,
and there she staid. Sent word for Mr.
Me. James to come and. take her home
the next tiny, but of course he could nt
see the o:nt, for the snow was very
deep, and she might get her little feet
d .-tm p. He has no't gone yet, she i; still
there. Mr. Stehman sent Lini word
that he Mould charge James Fowler onn
dollar n day for her fjoard. He had bet
ter pay that than to have jier sijk with
wet feet; no sleighs to be had for lovo or
money. Charley Smith cannot ftop haul
ing wood with his, so James is away out
of tiine. 115 thinks he will go out to
niQrrow and lijl a deer, and and Mr.
Stehman half of that for a day or two.
Oh, I tell you Neer City is a daisy
place for "mng folks to talk to th'ir
honeys. Caudles get verv scarce some-1-
0
.times and coal oil has taken a rise, and
you see that the now has Wen on the
ground so long that everybody has very
near run out of wood, and thyy have to
sit in the cold also in the dark. They
call it Freeze-out,' I believe, but I do
hardly know what you would call it
without light or lire, that is Neer City
sparking, I have been told by truthful
parties, so it must be so; for myself, I
never was there, and my sparking days
are done any way. It takes grass wid
ows for that. There was an old m tid
stopped with Mrs. Fowler the other
night, and sho sat up and spxrked till
one o'c'ock and when she catua to bed,
her feet were cold, and I t'.l you she
made the old lady giva her a warm plao
ill led. Nothing like having a good
warm bedfellow .when you sit up and
spark in the cold. Hqy iA tint fir hi'i ?
Mr. Johnny Link and Bolt iiavird
are going to build a largj dance-hall in
Neer City the coming summer, and they
are also going to havt a skating rink in
the halL That will 'set the plac.s lively
for young folks.
j Well, Mrs. Fow'er has not given up
all hopes yet. Sh thinks there is a
lynx left for her, and I really think
there is myself. There is enough of
thtm left for her and the ohi maid too,
that is if they get their traps set light.
I think they can catch a lynx if they
can't g.t the Clum nor D.
Well, sir, I will ted yoa the
young
folks are bavins their fun
Mr. Sam
uel
Fowler is the best clown for any purport
that you have a uiinJ to put him at. He
is a splendid singer; he can sing like a
lark. I think that his mother ought to
Ik very proud of him. He is good to
keep grub from spoiling if nothing else,
but I tell you I think he would make a
splendid caller for a dance. He can
play tUe fiddle althorgh thera ii a wid
ow that does not like his calling when
Mr. Clum is around, for she doesn't
think that it suit: altogether, but Sam
my is a daisy boy.
jWeli, sir Editor, everybody likes your
paper here very much and I think it is
a splendid paper myself, but as for the
Mist there are not many that like it;
there is nothing that they care about
reading, that is the way with that paper.
Well, the weather is very bad, tftc
snow is deep and it is bad for the stoek.
Mrs. Fowler has her stock at the Coffin
Rock Place, and her sen Eddie has to gQ
down there every day to feed. It is
very bad for everybody;, tho wood-choppers
cannot get out to eut wood, and I
hink that tho snielt will have to run
very soon or Neer City will close soon.
but the lovs. co ana ;ret a deer ana a

I awhi1 that keeps some
;-at. Mr. Bill Link thinks
of them in meat.
he will not marry for awhile till the
8iueit run as the boats do not take much
wood, and I think his head is level.
Well, sir, there is another family
come nto Neer City to-Uay. I think
they will very much fooled when they
think they arc goiiu: into a city like San
Francisco, which they think this ii ; it
is nothing but a hill and mountain of
rocks. I have heard people ask where
the city was, that great Neer City. Tiny
had not got lack far enough to seo the
place; that is all. When they see this
place they will fall in loro with it, tluy
cannot help it.
Well sir, there is another widow come
to Neer City and I tell you Bill Link
has lots of work to do about their house.
He is very good to help George Fowler
take care of his horses now, for he thn
can be where he can wat-di tie houe,
I tell you every young man in Neer City
is very good to Mr. Ransom; they even
want to help him cut stove wood.

one delegate at laro from each caun y.
Wo also rtommen I that the new coun

in the Convention, and that the number
of delegates allotted to the counties of
Wasoo and L .k fro n which t.h?sRCOur

tween the jld counties and the new.
The Committee recommen.) that the
primaries bq field on April 5, and the
County Convention on April 11; subject
however, to, the approval of th various
County Committees.
The committee deem it fitting to pre
suit to the Democratic voters of the
Stat;; the fallowing considerations:
yj see approaching an election of
most vital import to our commonwealth
in r.!i its interests, lot!i publb ami pri
vate. Donning honesty the best policy, and
in striking contrast with the course of
the opposing party, wt have named an
early day f r the assembling of tho Stat
Convention. Our jr.'njlples ai a party
will then he enunciat(l and our caili
dates placetl in the held subject, to th"
approval or conJv.iin.itijn of tht; body
politic.
Th:-? varianv in the vote of this State
during t!i- pist f:s.v years, and e.ip'oii'ly
the very closw contest in the Presidential
election of 1880, gives m much hope
that, notwit'i-sttnding our present ni
nority, with harmony in our ranks, and
a well dinn-ied exertion of our strength,
wealudl carry o'A the palm of victory.
Hut to ass-yr this nd it is imperative that
.til Democrats should contribute their un
divided support antl henrty co-operat:on,
not only in the actu il canva?, but from
irs very initiation -th county primaries.
We do not presume to trespass upon tin
ptovince of our popular Con ntion, but
do earnestly invoke all mem'ers of our
party to put aside past dilierences and
personal antigonisni-i, to unite in har
monious action in tne various primaries,
and to send fuil dclegitlous of represen
tative men to attend the State Conven
tion. Wo have deemed it fitting to
n duett the uuui'rer i cle'egates in the
hope of securing tin pers nal a t tend
ance of ihosu t-i be choicn ,V e es
pecially recommend the ormation of lo
cal clubs, w here practicable, throughout
t he Sta: i .
Believing that the success of j the De
mocracy is the welfare of the people, we
cordially invite all persons, regardless of
past political alliliations, who favor sim
plicity, economy and frugality in the ad
ministration of public uliaiiv, to unite
with us. '
