The ladies and Children ttf Davville

During the recent term of the supe¬
rior court here a plea of guilty was
made in a ease of Celling liquor on
Sunday and a fine imposed. Iff a ease
of the same nature at Blakely a jury
found the barkeeper not guilty. If
there is any more cases of this sort
here, it. would be well to get a change
of v(*nue and lei the jury decided the
matter.
The ‘26tli is near at'hand—Memorial
Day—and ive hope all, especially the
ladies, will take an active part in its
observance. By request Col. John R.
Irwin will deliver the address and this

worth listening to. This day has never
failed of observance here and we hope
this year additional interest will be
taken.
The boys at no time confine them¬
selves to common sense and ordinary
prose, but at this season of the year, j
when they write to their best girls, they !
simply bubble over with gush and so
called poetry. The spring fever will
work on the chaps and they are bound
to slioiv it.

-Well, sir, when MeKissack and Co.
told us there was a heap rtf money in

set down to a spot cash business in this
country is 4 cents! We must admit,

that it makes us feel like we don’t
