of The Paper Bei
Late Last Week. -
Verily, the average country ed- ‘
itor has many trials and tribu
lations ir. this life, and no mafttcy
how hard he may strive to keep
from saving ‘‘cuss words,”‘
things happen at times that vex
him so, that he says them in
wardly if not putwardly.
On Wednesday afternoon last
while we were busily engaged
making up out forms, and while
the boys wefe rushing up the
last of the local matter, twodirty
areasy looking dagos passed our
ofilce, leading a big old white
bear. Leo was the first to make
a break. He flewout of the of
fice when the trio passed; yelling
as h» jampad from the. piazza—
“papa, I’ll be back to reckly.’
Atter Leo left we noticed that
Otto’s speed began- to: slacken,
a'd that every time the dago
tooted his horn up the street, out
the window his head would go.
Though he said he didn’t care
anything about seeicg the bear:
perform at all, . ;1
Within a half hour after Leo’s
disapperance, Bob and Willie
¢ame from school. We told them
to go after Leo,and tell him he
had better waltz back here and
finish up his copy.
One hour went by and no Leo,
no Willie, no Bob returned.
There it was, time was flitting
axd we waiting for the copy to be
finizhed before we could go to
press.
We told Otto to run up to the
bear show and tell those kids of
ours—and especially Leo—thatif
they didn't hasten back to the
office that we would come up
there our gels, and escort them
back, PE e ..
- Otto we"t all' right enough—
“but he fever ‘¢ene back’’—til
about night.
And that isiwhy the paper was
late las’ week, the dog-gone old
bear was responsible for it
~ We are going before our city
dads at their next reguer ses
sion and prevail upon them to
levy a tax of SIO,OOO on all bear
exhibitions ¢n our streetsin the
future. :
This is"The Kind of Hogs
tO Rfiise. .
Mr J, U. Boone, has demon
strate'd, coneclusively, that he is
a suecessful farmer and stock
rais er, as wéll as one of the most
co-npetentrand obliging postmas
¥ ars in the State.
So far this season hehas killed
twenty head of hogs, averaglng
200 Ibs. each. His hogs are
bloeded stoclk, and doubled the
razor-backs in weighr, which
shows, that it would pay the far
'merto have nothing but good
stock. It does not pay to have
t'e woods fullof hogs and ]et
the greater part ¢f them starve
‘to death. ) ;
He now has 20 pigs, cross be
twees Buckshire and Polan Chi
[na-, which he expects to slaughter
next winter at anaverageweight
of 300 lbs. "Those receiving

"Phe'Fire Last Satuaday,

At night he attended prayer
meeting at the Methodist church
and led the services; after which
he was escorted to the Academy
where he found a packed house
awaiting him, - ¢
He was introduced 'to the aud
ienze oy Judge Julianfi Parker
in a most eloguent little speech,
after which the Govenor arose
and addressed the audience for
one, hour. KEvery one present
seemed tohave been delighted
with his speech, for we have
heard nothing but compliménts
paid it since his departure.
There is nodenying the fact,
Gov. Brown made many new
friends in thissection during his
