Houck reports the arrival of a ten pound boy at the home of Vest C'um-mings, on Sunday afternoon last. J. McCormick, one of Bachelor Crew," who is engaged in teaching in the Hahnenkratt district, spent Sunday last in town. Look over our advertisements, note what the advertisers have to say and then patronize them. They are all fair and square dealing firms.

We noticed a woman around the streets and in the business houses, on Monday last, circulating a petition to aid her in starting a steam laundry. A. Freideuiberg, who for several months has been in the employ of A. Vega, left for a visit, to his home in Frankfort, Tuesday last. He expects to return in April.

N. B. McCormick and wife started for a ride on Sunday last, but met with an accident just as they were starting, the buggy tipping over and breaking. The ride was postponed. .1.

V. Lowe, of Kansas, stopped over two or three days at the Valley House tlie fore part of tlie week, lie IiaviiiK to stay on account of no trains runnitm; during tlie' late storm. Tracklaying was again resumed on the C. K. west of Almena, on Monday last.

We understand that the work will be pushed forward without further interruption to a point about seven or eight miles west of Norton. We omitted to call attention to the advertisement of J. C. it E. S.

Lats-baugli in our last issue. This is the new tiriu that has recently come here, and from what we know of them we do not hesitate to say that they deserve a fair share of your patronage. The Chicago Fair favors the pub lic again with another 30-chry reduc tion prices on all suits, overcoats and Ladies', Misses and Children's Cloaks, as they expect soon to go east to buy their new spring stock. The reduction on the above named articles will go into effect Saturday, January 14. People that leave their coal lay out complain of pilfeing.

To those who have missed any we would suggest that they load some of the convenient chunks with dynamite. We are not anarchists yet, but we do think that any person who would steal coal ought to get blown up. Owing to the cold weather on last Saturday, not many of the teachers of the county put in an appearance at the meeting that had been called for, and an adjournment of the same was had without transacting any business, or filling any portion of the programme that had previously been mapped out. locs ar.y far. man K-Ueve that if the ti th-ee eoufitv were democrats hat they would ilie iiriniinp- under their tj papr No hcMeves a ihiivf.

2t tiOJ. No sane man believed till last week that a board of commissioners could be found in Phillips county that would take $300 out of the people and declare it to be spoils of a party. But the world do move. Frecv.utn. This issue of The Democrat complete? the first half year of its existence, and still there are no indications that we are going to "Lust up, sell out or move away," but on the contrary it looks more flattering every week that we are to become a permanent fixture to the town, inasmuch as we are supplying a "long felt want" to the people hereabouts in giving them a first-class home paper.

Our friends of the Herald says The Democrat complains that they are not friendly to us. We do not remember of making any complaint oji that kind, as it is a matter of little consecpaence to us whether they are friendly or not, though we did "think it a little out of the journalistic channel to be forever making mistatements that we were about to ''bust up," sell out and move away, etc. By an advertisement in another column of this issue, it will be seen that tlie Missouri Pacific is offering their last cheap excursions to California from St. Louis and Kansas City. To those who wish to avail themselves of these cheap rates now offered by this popular route we would say that this perhaps will be the best opportunity you will ever have of taking in the Pacific Slope.

It is a well written article and we were just on the point of congratulating Mr. He-Nav on his able writing, when what was our astonishment to find that he had copied the article entire from Ci'ii Journal, without credit.

Oh, Oh, neighbor that won't do. IleraltL Now, what did you want to "give it away" for You know our neighbor on the west side is doing his best to get up a good paper, and the purloining of a occasionally should be overlooked, especially when it deals exclusively on the southern or "bloody shirt" question. By some reason, carelessness more than airy thing else, we did not mention that Phillips county had another newspaper. This time it is the Prairieview Record, all home print, and is a lively little sheet. The Record in giving a description of Phillips county and towns, says that Phillipsburg has a population of something over 300 inhabitants, while Logan has something over 900.

Such statements as that won do, neighbor, you know our town has about 1,500. Stick to the truth and shame the devil, if it takes the hair off. The editor of this paper is contemplating the purchase of a thermometer. We want one about twenty feet long, price not to exceed a year subscription per foot. We will set up a weather business in connection with The Democrat, and after a little practice we shall be able perhaps to tell what the weather will be twenty-four hours in advance.

If we fail on that we shall use it to register our "bone fide" subscribers, whatever tfcat is, End then if we should succeed in getting the county printing next year, we will sell the weather indicator to tha Herald man at reduced rates.

Lucas" engagement at this place was not a success, financially, we are fiorry to state. The springlike westlior of yesterday had a tendency to make people feel ill-natured, as it were, that is, we prosit nie it- was the weather that done it. We learn of two "rounds." but neither terminated in a "mill." A colored gen-lem and some "white trash" had a few unpleasant words, when Mr. Coon was going to carve them, not with a "raz-zor" but with an ax.

Lecture by Prof. T. J. Loar, on Friday evening preceding. It is strange but neverthleess true, that in almost all localities there will be found boys, and even men, who have no more decency about them thau a hog.

Pretty nearly every week our churches have to be renovated and cleaned on account of parties going there and depositing quids of tobacco and spit over the floor and carpets. We believe a person ought have respect for others enough to let tobacco chewing alone during the short time of service, even if they have no respect for themselves. We will say to the chewers who happen to have a quid in their mouth as they are about to enter the church daor and don't wish to lose it, that if they will gently deposit it on the fence or some other convenient spot, we will guarantee that it will not be disturbed in their absence, and on their return will find it safe where it had been left, so that they will be enabled to resume the "chawing" process on their way home. Shame on all tobacco chewers who will go a.nd squirt the juice over the floors and carpets of any public hall, much less a place of worship.

Teachers' County Meeting-. As heretofore stated, the meeting of the Phillips CountyTeachers' Association will be held at Phillipsburg, on Friday evening and Saturday, February 3d and 4th. There will be a lecture on Friday evening, followed with vocal music, ricitations, etc.

Many interesting papers will be read on subjects of interest to every teacher. Every teacher in the county is urgently requested to' form a committee of one to work up an interest in thes? meetings, and to be present themselves. A Runaway. A team belonging to a man named Vogle, of Stuttgart, became frightened at something or other Tuesday forenoon, on the west side, and started to run, Mr. Vogle and a man named Meyers being in the wagon.

The team went tearing around to the south side and turned the corner for the east side, and when in front of Burkalter's meat market the wagon upset, throwing both occupants out on some stone that were lying near the sidewalk. Mr. Vogle was slightly hurt in the back and Meyers was more or less bruised on the head. No damage was done to the team or wagon. The Peoples Theatre Company.

This excellent dramatic company is this week playing to good-sized audiences at the court-house. They opened a week's engagement on Monday evening last, commencing with Milton Noble great four-act drama, entitled, "'The Phoenix, or Risen from the Ashes," in which J. S. Sturdevant took the leading character as Gerald Gray-Joe Blossom. His support was good all through, especially did W.

A. Nixon, as Moses Mosier, the Jew, and Bert Reede, as Michal O'Connell, do themselves credit. The play, is a good one, and we must give this, company credit for the manner in which they rendered it. On Tuesday evening the7 played "The Dairyman's Daughter, in which Messrs. Nixon and Sturdervant again took the lead in keeping the audience in a good humor.

This play being a short one, they wound up with a laughable farce entitled, "'The Coming Man' which created a great deal of mirth. The three-act comedy, "A Legal Document," was produced last evening to a large audience. This is a good play and was well rendered throughout. To-night will be produced for the first time in our town the great Irish drama "Inshavogue," which is one of the best plan's on the beards. This company will appear in Kirwin next, and we bespeak for them a jrood business.
