Crum, of Stuart, was in tlie citv to-dav. He recently went to St. Louis to have a tumor removed from his neck. This operation was successfully performed and Mr. Crum is ereat-lv pleased 'w ith the result of the operation.

IMtilH Pioneer. We are truly pleased to learn of Mr. Crum's good fortune. We have known him for many years and know him to be a perfect gentleman and above all to be a good, solid democrat. At all of the democratic conventions we have attended in Smith county we always met him, with the exception of one the first which was composed of two, Hon.

L. C. Uhl and the writer hereof. Some of our young bloods must have had a Christmas tree down around a certain barn on Saturday afternoon and evening last, as quite a "gang" of them were noticed around that neighborhood during the evening and the next morning. The crowd adjourned on Saturday night about ten o'clock at the request of a gentleman, only to meet in some other more convenient spot, and where they would not be molested by any person who wi to see law and good order prevail.

We are in posession of the facts in the case and would say to the boys that a repetition of such behavior on their part in the future, done so openly and boldly, will entitle them to a personal notice in these columns. Our Christmas dinner was eaten at home. We wrere so unfortunate as not to have an invite out to dine, and while the chances seemed very slim fcr us to have anything very palatable to brag on. Mr. M.

Bales presented us with one of the finest young turkeys we ever Now, when we received that turkey we felt rich, and we invited Mr Bales and family and Mr. AV. u. lur-pin and family to come and help us eat it. aa speak for ourselves.

Av thought that was the best turkey we ever eat. It may be that we have forgotten how the last turkey before this tasted, as it has been so long, but one thing we feel thankful for and that is that we yet have turkey enough left to last us a week, and we will not be worried for something to eat for this week at least, and who knows but perhaps some friend, democrat or republican. will bring us another turkey or give us the money to buy one before we get hungry again. In writing up our Smith Centre trip last week wre omitted noticing Messrs. Nelson Beacom, of the rioncer, Jack Stewart, of the Bazoo, L.

T. Rees, the Cleveland postmaster, and Charley Uhl, his able assistant. Mr. re ports the daily a success, and we are truly glad of it. The Pioneer is the oldest paper in the county, and is what its name implies the pioneer.

Jack Stewart, of the Bazoo, was found after visitimj his office three or four times. Mr. Stewart has had a vacation, and as he has an able assistant he seemed rather reluctant to hitch in so soon after his return, but we see by tlie earmarks of the paper that he has since "got there." Success to yon Jack, politically and personally. We also called on J. Q.

Royee, of the Bulletin, but did not find him in his office. We afterwards met him at the Sherman house, where he helped some republicans go for us. That is all right, J. it fesmed like old times to have a political bout in Smith Centre. L.

Jt N. railroad officials when told hv citizen that the coliee force had been doubled on account of the railroad hands being here remarked to a reporter, that if our city would guard the places where bad bitters were sold the men would not require any attention from the police.

Dispatch. The above is a "snide" wav the "all home print" has of trivinp; those who happen to be in the drug business in this place, a gratuituous notice. Mr. Jacob Close has just received letter from the publishers of The Amer ican Journal of Science and Arts, pub lished at New Haven, stating that they think his fireclay a first-class and valuable article. The ft, K.

N. people have tried it in their furnaces and pronunce it to be the best they have yet used. A team belonging to John Hahnen- kratt, who lives out east of town, while at the depot last Saturday morning, became frightened and ran away. They ran from the depot to the court house fence, where they brousht up very sud denly against a post and smashed the wagon to pieces. Luckily no person was hurt.

Dr. William Taylor, formerly onefof the proprietors of this paper, passed through the city on luesday evening last, on his way to Topeka, where he will buy material to start a paper at Aimena. We wish the doctor unbound ed success in his undertaking to rustle for the party whose interests he will manipulate his always well-sharpened pencil. Cant. AV.

iivo. Barron, we are not democrats for revenue, but from principle, and in favor of tariif for revenue only. We do not think you will live to see the last dying kick of the democracy. If true to its fundamental principles it will live while this government of the people, for the, people, and by the peo ple lasts. From this standrjoint we have since our majority been a demo crat, and unless the party abandons these principles, in our weak way we will stay with them.

We have been with them through the valley and shadow, and have never despaired, and have been permitted to behold the sunlight of victory for democracy and to see the burdens being lifted off the poor and oppressed. We believe they will see it. we believe they will feel it, and if so there is no danger of defeat to the democracy. We thank you for your sympathy, for we know it comes from kind but mistaken friend. It is you who will be in want of sympathy, and when you search with a fine tooth comb to find a man to beat Cleveland and are snowed under beyond resurrection, then the Democrat will not be bund wanting in sympathy for its faithful but misguided friends.

Christmas in Philiipsburg. Santa Claus has again come and gone, and many hearts have been made glad by his kind remembrances the way of tokens of friendship and esteem, not only to the little ones, but to many of the grown as well. Some may have been forgotten, but it is hoped that all have been kindly remembered, lear I i by year unristmas time has become more generally celebrated throughout all civilized nations, and many are the thousands of joyous gatherings that meet on that day in commemoration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The old way of making our presents through the medium of the "stocking" has been supplanted to a considerable extent by the more modern Christmas tree. Well do we remember in our childhood days, the coming visit of Santa Claus, and weeks before the eventful evening our "stocking" would be ready to "hang up" at the back door to receive the canclies, nuts, toys and such ether gifts as Old Santa thought us worthy.

Last Sunday being Christmas day, services were held on Saturday evening in both our Churches for the distribution of presents, which was largely attended, especially by the young folks. At the Methodist Church there were two trees, each one being well filled, and it appeared that all in attendance did not only get one present but many received numerous articles, some useful and beautiful, and others on the comical order. The programme previously laid out by this denomination was successfully carried through, and will long be remembered by all who attended. Services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. I.

S. Hall. The Presbyterian people had intended to hold their Christmas services in their new edifice, but were disapointed, as the Church was not in proper shape for them to do so. It was therefore decided to hold forth in the old building, and an arrangement representing Jacob's ladder was erected on which to place the gifts, which looked magnificent under its load of treasures. The crowd assembled, and after a few remarks by the pastor, Rev.

Theo. Bracken, the distribution of presents began, which consumed nearly two hours. It seemed that, ail in attendance were kindly remembered, and all went home happy. New Scotch Caps. New Fur Caps, New Jersey Caps, New Silk Handker-chiei's.
