   Engene Smith is having a cistern dug on his place. Eugene has an elegant home.

   A joll (sic) party of young ladies congregated at the home of Mrs. Eugene Smith, Monday evening, and enjoyed a few hours. Where were the boys. Verily they are getting slow.

   Jealousy is perhaps the meanest and most ignoble sentiment that can actuate a person. How mean it is for one man to feel sorry because another is winining (sic) success that he cannot attain. A true man wishes to see every one prosperous, and rejoices most when his fellowmen are thrifty and happy.

   He sat in his door at noonday, lonely and glum, and sad; the flies were buzzing about him, led by a blue winged "gad;" not a customer darkened his portals, not a sign of business was there, but the flies kept on buzzing around the old man's hair; at last in misery he shouted, "Great Scoot! I'm covered with flies," and the zepdyrs that toyed with his whiskers, whispered, "Why don't you advertise?"

   Occasionallly some queer reasons are given for taking a paper. One old lady cheerfully informed us no long ago that since she had moved away she didn't care so much what was going on here, but it was pleasant to know when your friends died," and she took the paper to keep the run of them. She porobably was a sister to the woman who informed the undertaker that she did "enjoy a good funeral. There is more resons than one why people take the HERALD.

   The great demand for hen fruit last week almost created a panic among the egg producers and it is a wonder to us that they didn't make a strike, as that motive is now in order. The roosters were very dignified and urged that there be no strike or perhaps the egg commerce would have stopped and the feathery tribe triumphed over their victory. The roosters, being of a more confirmed mind and seeing the deprivation of their own fate, strenously implored that there be no strike.

   Easter Sunday was not observed very extensively in Belgrade, although many little urchins were made glad by being the proud possesser of a colored egg. Many of us speak of Easter and egg feasts without ever once stopping to think of its meaning. We learn that the fashion of coloring eggs is very ancient. Red was considered the most appropriate color, as it commenorated the blood of the crucified Savior; yellow eggs were supposed to ward off infectious disease and gilded eggs were thought to be fit presents for roayl households, as an account book of the house of Edward I certifies.

   The only way to retain the good will and friendship of anybody is to treat them in a polite manner. Even your worst enemy will secretly, if not otherwise, admire you for an act of this nature -- a smile or a nod of recognition, will sometimes do wonders in this respect. But, on the other hand, if you greet them with a growl and a shrug of the shoulder their respect for you, instead of increasing, will deminish (sic) like the wax of a burning candle. No one can have too many friends, and a smile and a kind word distributed here and there among them will do much towards keeeping up one's popularity at the same time insuring us from the humiliation of being termed a coarse, uncivilized brute.

  The sun shines and the seed flies.

   April is whispering of spring and flowers.

   Easter exercises were a splendid success notwithstanding the blizzard. The house was well filled and about $16 was raised for missions.

   An eave-dropper (sic) is one of the most contemptable and ill-bred creatures ever wrapped in human garb. Anyone who will stoop to this degraded ebb is mean enough to steal a worm from a blind hen.

   One to walk in B. F. Smith's hardware store would imagine themselves to be in some large city. He has an elegant store room and a fine stock of goods which he has tastefully aranged (sic). He handles everything kept in a first-class hardware store.

   It is said that a Cedar Rapids young man, who thought he was old enough to have a girl, called on a young lady a few nights since. The girl's mother quietly left the room and in a few moments returned with a big piece of bread and molasses which she handed to the caller telling him to eat it and run home, as his mother might be uneasy if he should stay out late.

   Yes, Belgrade held an election, that is there were two candidates running on the ticket and were elected. The whole affair passed off without a jar. It is consdered that Belgrade has a wet board; and we guess it has, but as to whether or not we will have a saloon here the coming year is a question yet to be solved. The newly elected officers are E. D. Morris and M. J. Vosburg.
