Ln old Kentucky farmer who
has been farming two score of
years was in our office Tuesday
and gave it as his opinion that the
wheat crop was uninjured as yet.
Said all it needed was plenty of
rain when the weather turned
warm and not before. This gen-
tleman is an experienced agricul-
turalist and a close observer and
he made a careful examination of
his wheat before he gave his opiu-
ion.

Mr. F. E. Conrad was in to see
us Monday. Mr. Conrad says he
never had his cattle look as well
at this season of the year since he
had been in the business, He al-
so said that notwithstanding the
present dull times, he believed our
little city was on the eve of such a
boom as was never known in her
history, for when this drouth was
once broken that the best and big-
gest crops would be raised ever
known in the county, and that fact
coupled with our chance for onef
or more railroads would give us a
city of five or six thousand inhab-
itants in a very few years. Mr.
Conrad is a shrewd,1 far-seeing
business man and his opinions are
worth careful consideration.

Gazette: Do not write-it 1886
any more—the old year is dead
and the new year is born. As we
ring out the old and ring in the
new, how little we think that the
new, too, will soon be the old, and
must be rung out to give place to
a new that will follow after. But
time in its relentless course will
bring thought of it, and with the
thought, perhaps, a looking for-
ward to the year when each that
now is will become what was.
Shall not 1887, then, mark some
passage of life, some desed or act,
that will take from the pang of
listening to the bells which ring us
out and ring in the new?

'"At^ut this season of the year it
is an easy matter to tell what
young man has a "solid girl." If
a young fellow is seen with a nice-
ly embroidered bat-mark, or a
neat hand-made necktie or pin
cushion it is entirely unnecessary
to ask him who made it, for if you
lo, he will look at you as if pitv-
ng your verdancy and ejacutate
'sister made it." As a matter of
:ourse some other fellow's sister
s meant; and this reminds us that
is we were making the rounds we
iiscovered one of the neatest pin-
:ushign» we have seen lately orna-
menting a good looking young fel-
low's desk. Besides the pretty
flowers embroidered on jt there
was a large "C." made by the
heads of the pins that had been
thrust therein. That was much
more useful and appropriate than
the present received by. another
young gent. He was much puzzled
for a long time, as the article >?as
one of these l'atten (?) half hood
and half scarf arrangements culled
by young Indie's "Fascinators,"
and nothing is more fascinating
than a lovely,face with bright
sparkling eye* looking out from
one of these articles of female ap-
parel. We can't say how becom-
ing it would be to a masculine
ace wearing a light brown mus-
che.
Moved Next Door
Our friends and patrons will
now find us in the Drug Store, one
door north of our old stand where
we-wilt keep si more complete and
better assorted stock of Staple
and Fancy Groceries than ever
before. Call and see us at our
new stand.

for eo the engineer „ua star
tied by seeing a man wik'ly wav- J
ing a red bandana in one hand anc
a hat in the other. With visions of
broken rails or washed out bndg
es dancing through his br;"in the
engineer reversed his engine and
brought the train to a stand still
The conductor rushed breathless
ly out to see what was the matter
only to be met by the red bandana
(who proved to be a county offi-
cial) letsUrally climbing on the
cars. "What the blankety-blank
did you stop this train for?" saic
the exasperated conductor as it
dawned upon him that the young
man only wanted a ride.
"'Cause Pui tired and want to
ride into Cisco," was the laconic
answer.
"Why didn't you walk in
instead of stopping the train out
here? Gim'me your ticket."
"I've got no ticket, but here's
two-bits; you see I didn't want to
walk into Cisco; my oest girl Jives
there."
This explanation satisfied the
conductor and the young man was
allowed to proceed. After sever-
al days' absence he came in on the
train wearing a look of ineffable
content, though he complained to
a friend of being very tired. It
is presumed that he got on the
train at the water tank just out-
side the city limits as he came
home. Well, economy is the road
to wealth.

Hon. David Davis tells the fro-
zen truth when he says: "Each
year every local paper gives from
100 to $5,000 in free lines for the
benefit of the community in which
it is located. No other agency can
or will do this. The local editor,
in proportion to his means, does
more for his town than any other
ten men, and in all fairness, man
with man, he ought to be support-
ed, not because you happen to like
inn or admire his writings, but
because a local paper is the best
investment a community can make.
It may not be brilliant or, crowded
with great thoughts, but financial-
ly it is more of a benefit to a com-
munity than a preacher or teacher.
Understand us now, we do not
mean morally or intellectually but
financially, and yet on thfi moral
question you will find the majority
of the local papers are on the right
side of the question. To-day the
editors of local papers do the most
work for the least money of any
men on earth. Subscribe for your
local paper, not as a charity, but
as an investment.
