AN ACCOUNT OF A DAY’S
Pleasant Onting Near
Ruby, by “Snibbs.”
Mr. Editor:— Two days of frolic
and pleasure, then work until the
penalty is-paid, I know not when,
Many were there on the 16, and
17, when old ,l Soi” raised his blush¬
ing head from his saffron colored
couch in the far East, dispelling
the gloom caused by the darkness,
and even before he had started on
his journey to the zenith, began
hitching up their horses and mules
to their various vehicles and start-
lug to Whiddon’s mill, thinking of
the time to come when they should
eat those delicious fish.
Friends : I can hear you, who went
saying, “Sure,” and you are right.
You, who did not go, I know, wish
that you had. I can almost bear
you say, I will go to the next one,
and if I slip, I will try to slip that
way and join the boys and girls-
for there were girls out there—
pretty girls too, and Mu. Editor, if
you don’t believe this, why ask
your brother editor about the ‘Lone
Star,” ju«t watch his face, I think
that will be sufficient, and I am not
often fooled, tho’ who could help
being a “sucker” and sometimes
biting a tempting bait.
And the boys ! Well, I will leave
them for some one else to.blow, for
you know it is proverbial, they are
all alike, untill some unsuspecting
maiden falls in love with him. Then
he is suddenly raised from the
paths of every-day-mortals and
brought upon the plain of the an-
cient Gods, taking upon himself the
form of an Adonis. But be patient
until they have their first quarrel,
then you can get a better descrip¬
tion than my pen can depict.
Now thie is no little affair I am
exerting myself to write you about;
for io can boast, with a clear eon-
science, of having a photographer
and a book agent, and one could
scarcely keep from melting with
thirst, when gazing behind the
counter at our genial friend dispel •
sing the cool refreshments, Tne
other liquid refreshments being
brought by each participant, ai d
seemed a little scarev.
Great Jehosephat! The fish,-all
sizes, shapes and kinds. Why I
don’t want to see another fish un-
til in the morning. The largest fish
caught, weighed nine or ten pounds
though one man, noted for his
truthfulness, told me that a great
many of the fish would weigh a
hundred pounds. I did not catch
the point until I went in side ways,
Do you catch?
Friend met friend and parted
and if they did not have a nice .
time, it was nobody’s fault but their
ovn, and they will tell you so, for
you know that
“Life, as a plank of driftwood,
Tossed on the watery main.
Another plank encounters meet,
Touches, parts again ;
So meeting and parting eyer,
On life’s unresting sea
Men meet and greet and sever,
Parting eternally.” ‘Snibbs.’

A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY.
I have berries, grapes and peaches, a
year old, fresh as when picked, I use
tiie California Cold press, do not heat or.,
seal tiie fruit, just put it up cold, keeps
perfectly fresh, and costs almost nothing
cilu put up a bushel in ten minutes. Last
week I soid directions to over 120 fam-
ilies; anyone will pay a dollar for direc¬
tions, when they see the beautiful sam-
pies of fruit. As there aie many people
poor like myself, I consider it my duty
to give my experience to suoii, and feel
confident any one can make one or two
hundred dollars round home in a few
duys. I will mail sample of fruit and
oomplete directions, to any of your rea-
d erSj f or eighteen two-cent stamps,
which is only die actual cost of the sam¬
ples, postage, etc., to me.
