We are sorry to report that the .con- cert under the auspices of the lst Prize Choir, on Wednesday night of last week, did not receive the patronage from our citizens that it was worthy of.

' We under- stand the patronage was no better on Friday evening at 'Jensen. Those in attendance speak very highly indeed of the manner in . which the choice selections were rendered. An Editor's Lament. News, news, news! It's enough to give the man the blues. Nobody married and nobody- dead ; nobody brok- en an arm or a bead: nobody come in to talk of the "crap "; no one got boozy and started a scrap: no one got run in for taking a born; nobody buried and nobody born. Oh, for a racket, a riot, a fuss! Somebody to come in and kick up a muss; some one to stir up the peace -laden air; somebody's commet to give us a scare; somebody thumped within an inch of his life„ somebody run off with another man's wife; some one come in and pay up his dues; any- thing, anything, just s0 it's news.
