This darling of ours got a discolored eve;

How wrathy she got
At a lover who called when he should have

Who took her out sleighing and upset her,

Now ono eye is bind; and tho other is blue;
Oh! Mvl

J. R. Kellogg while out hucklebor

A short timo ago a petty thief en

Will Frasfor is on the sick list.
Ben. Mncho icturncd from Pine Val
ley, Saturday,
Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Johnson, of the
Cove, were up on a visit Sunday.
Thos. Gorman took his departure for
Baker, the first of tho week.
Mrs. S. F. Curick, of Clover nook;
is visiting friends and relatives in Pylo
canyon.
All our good people took in tho cir
cus, Friday, and icturned much better
oil", intellectually.
(Jay. Yowell is in our midst again.
From reports some of Union's ' "tong
lies" have been using (Jay. pretty
rough.
If hot weather has anything to do
with bringing men to repentance1, all
our peoplo will be thoroughly conver
ted before this harvest is over.
The terrestrial trinity, Czar Nicholas
I, of Russia, Abraham Lincoln, of
America, and Don Pedro of the Bra
zilian Empire; see Wakefield's last
sermon.
The grain crops are drying up very
fast, and it is feaivd tomo of them will
bo too ripe befoie they e.in be cut.
Such sultry weather has not been
known for a long time.
Pylo canyon Sunday school has been
suspended during the hot times, har
vest, and huckleberries Souls must
bo saved, hut. still huckleberries must
be gathered and so we gather them.
Our "base ball cranks" have1 not
made themselves known to the public
yet. We are just polishing up a little,
ami will send some of your brag clubs
ii challenge before long. Telocaset has
never failed in an unnertaking yet.
What a pity it is wo have not got a
store to indulge in some Harrison
Cleveland hats. That is what people
get for being behind in tho issues and
orders of the day. If wo had rnslled
around some time ago and had a store
imported, wo could havo sported all
the luxuries and delicacies of political
fancy.
It seems tha both political parties
aro dividing and becoming confused
over tho present issues. It is only a
matter of time now, when it will bo
nothing but strife and commotion in
all political circle:, and democrat and
republican will wholly disappear. It
is gradually tending toward a change
in the very near ftituie.
Tho huckleberry patch is the com
mon Held of strife. There, all men
meet on Uncle Sam's dominion, and
there all the little private animosities
and differences are remorselessly
brought up; no man is afraid of in
fringing on his neighbor's rights, and
it becomes a geneial buttle ground.
Tho hatchet is dug up, the old sheop
record is rehearsed, and tho bloody
shirt is is waved over tho entire crowd
without remorse. Friends sever tho
ties of social union, and foes opon tho
wounda of long gone scenes.
