We were mistaken last week as to the price
Ofnew potatoes. They are selling at 80 cts.
per half peck and small at that.
There has been q great rush of taxpayers
at the Treasurer's Office during the past two
weeks. We are afraid that we will have a small

We have talked with great many farmer

Eron, tho aarnastnaas ,y,ih vybich soD,o no,
sons In this town suck goose-quills from morn
ing to night, we judge that they have bee
weanod in the wrong time of the moon, or wheI
the sigp was not right. Mothers cannot be to-
careful as to the time when they wean thei
babies. A mistake in the time is apt to give til
child some unpleasant habit.
The people Of jackson and the surrounding
country are a polite people--proverbiolly sc
But we would suggest that 1t Is bad manners
stand on the pavements in such crowds that pc
sons--especially ladies, are compelled to <
around them, often into the gutter or edge I
the street. Loafers should remember that som
persons have something to dO and busy peopl
do not like be annoyed in this way.
