"A THANKSGIVING HUNT.-We have
had something "new under the SUM- in
Hartford the last week. Messrs. Dug
ger and Taylor organized grand two
days hunt to obtain game for ''game
Thanksgiving supper" for our whole
community. They chose over forty
hunters apiece, and agreed on the fol-
lowing valuation for game in order to
determine which side made the more
successful hunt: Quails and rabbits,
5 cents; squirrels, ducks and prairie
chickens, 10 cents; jack rabbits, 10
cents; geese, 80 cents. The result of
the hunt counted, as l am Informed,
for Taylor 1915; for Digger 1895.
Nearly three hundred persons partoOk
of the supper, and the game and pro-
visions remaining over and sold
amounted to over $1,000. Thanks of
the community are rendered to the
captains and the hunters, and unani-
nous vote that they do so again, say
Christmas, for instance. The manage
ment of the supper W; given to Mes
srs. VIM. and "GIb" Holt, Hunt, Bur-
roughs and Helt. / think the ladies, q
dozen or more of them, should have a
share in the credit of this very success
fnl supper. The prize cake was voted
Miss Matte RGssell, and presented by
Mr.. Chambers. Miss Russell tenders
her thanks to her friends for their good
will. The writer thanks Miss Russell
for several pieces of the cake, and Mrs.
Hunt fot baking so good a one.

schools in this town, consisting of two

pay the expenses of the school.
