The old adage '.'suckers will bite," •was fully demonstrated on our streets last Saturday afternoon. Tho strangers appeared in town about noon and procured a town license to sell jewelry on the streets. They anchored in front of F. M. Johnson's drug store, and at once started in to gull the gathering crowd. A brass watch was produced, probably worth SI. which jfraa laid on a board. Next came a pocketbook into which it appeared that the sharper placed a 5*20 bill and deposited the pochetbook on the board alongside the watch. Then a fl. bill was placed in another pocketJaook and placed on the board. Two empty pocketbooks were then added to the pile, and after a little shuffling the watch and a choice of the pocket books was offered to any person for $15. J. H. Downs, a fanner living near Sugar Grove, was sucker number one, and gave up fifteen hard earned "plunks" for a SI watch, a three cent pocketbook containing a SI bill. After this he sold two watch chains costing him about 7J cents each and a choice of the pocketbooks for So.

Robert Leaman and F. A. Smith being: the catfish. The pocketbooks of course contained SI bills instead of $20. It is a fact that a sucker is born every minute.

dows from which flashed bright lights, and from open doors flocked laughing children aloug with pet dogs, cats, and goats. The moonlight shown through the trees, making deep, slanting shadows across the white streets. Now and then a nightbird fluttered before us. or twittered among the leaves over head. Near by an evening bell was calling to Vespers, and one coukl see dark robed people walking silently to church. Far from the south fame the distant strains of a song the faint breeze wafting in soft and murmuring tones that was most enchanting' to the listener, while about the two public wells of our town were gathered the young senors and senoritas. Laughing and exchangingfrieudly greetings thev linger long at those wells, girlish and manly voices mingliug and keeping time to the splash of the crystal water as it flows from the fountain, filling shining buckets and pitchers to overflowing. We Cannot but imagine the white dress of the senoritas to be a short skirt of bright blue with black bodice and coquettish veil. But the evening grows late, ramblers seek their homes, lights are soon out, and nothing but the pale moonlight shining down on the silent town, with now and then a weired screech of the little night owl, hid somewhere among the stetp shadows of the trees. A bat almost strikes me on the head as it flits by. the crickets and katydids keep up their hideous song: the air grows cool—so, good night.

His views on the marriage law are all right, and the column, of "What Has Become.j 1 1 1 of Cuba Libre?" is great, aad shows how the question is to-day. It is the thing to stick under the eyes of the people and let them see the warped condition of our country at the pres* ent time. 1
