Sense and Nonsense From Poverty Flat. Mr. Editor:?Our city is so largo i that thcugh your reporters are bust- ? ling and wide awake, it is impossible ' to keep the people posted, so I .'on- | eluded to give you some of our d< ts. | You no doubt are wondering as to ( the origin of the name of this portion of tow n, known to some as Scotrusa- ' luin; it was given by some of our most attractive boys. It is very appropriate 1 think, but not near as appropriate as slough of despond or J some other name that means mud in , , abundance. / The mill is doing good work, have 1 / made several shipments already, but i we will soon have our own dying i plant; we believe in giving our ' Sniifbpm nennlework, ami we helievr ? rwvr in consuming our own goods instead of swapping new, strong goods for old i dye-oaten ones. Mr. Gnult. the : manager, is the right man in the right place: lie knows what ' > do and the best of all he does it : we can not say that much for some. The folks here seem to have the 1 misfortune of having things lifted ( quite frequently, as some one ha> < lilted a portion of our pavement, (a present from Mr. Cohen.) The valentim- party given by the C. S. O. was enjoyable in the superlative degree. Some think the C. S. O. arc girls, but 1 contend that that they are boys and handsome ones at that, for they (whoever or whatever they are) were supposed t<> be in attendance and there were more handsome boys present than anything else. The elub is young hut then first party was nice, their supper nicer, but their hoys were nicest. Our boys are waking from a sleep almost equal to Hip Van Winkle's, I hope their eyes will remain open, and their minds active and al>o the new hand will he fond of serenading. Ask Mr. Charles Graham if lie doesn't know some one who needs a snlasher. One of the up town boys eame down to see the mill and elitm d <?n top to got a view. Ask Mr. lb j Posey w ho it w as. Riverside .Toe. who now resides on Poverty Flat has smart oow?. ask . liim how they got through the fence. One of our girls got a valentine and written inside of the box \\a^ "From one who loves you." and she is so much interested that she has engaged a detective to find who sent ~ O it. Nearly all of Fnion's hoys spend every spare moment in tin* country : girls what is the matter*' Why is not I nion more attractive ' I hope lieanehamp will have a good j crowd and will preach temperance in all things. Some of our girl< an- putting in excellent time and Mess the hoys who i made them a present of -ox months i leap year ; the hoys think they are! generous, but I think tiny need a ! rest. To those who wish this plaeo to have a better name 1 will sav. we' tried t<> have it named "Paradise Alloy," l?ut as it \va< minus -un-hinr wo failed. When one ofmtr girl* read of the proposed trip to cadets -ho was heard to say. "I wi.-h 1 was a boy and a cadet boy at that, that reminds mo ' that our Clems*in hoys an- missed greatly. An Itevoir.
