"A freight train on the G. B. & NJ.
road was ditched near Plover last We'd

We believe our good old German
weather prophet knows his biz. Since

IF he holds out let's run him for
President.
j. j Pellet and old hunter while
passin g through the woods near Sey-
mour. yesterday accidentally fell over
a log. his gun caught in such man

The County Board audited several
bills last Tuesday and appointed a
committee of which Mr.. Corners of
Auburndale is Chairman, to examine
the County Clerks Books, and settle

Such aroma such stinks such sa-
vor of ''sweet smells" we never be-
fore tasted. If one walks without a
lantern o'nights, he or she steps care
fully lest the little pets be mashed !;
and we should think several thousand
had been mashed already, if the odor
were any indication.

We dropped into Prof. Cleve-
lands singing school last Monday eve
ming. Mr.. G. has a class of about
thirty, when he ought to have at least
one hundred. He is a good teacher
and understands his business, but if
we had been he, or if he had been We,
he'd 'ha jerked some of those giggling
girls and boisterous boys bald headed
cause they didn't quit their fooling
and mind their flats and sharps
We are informed that our good
friends Mr.. & Mrs. Webster have con:
Guided to call their little one ''Tansy,"

We want to again urge upon our
friends in the several towns of the
county the necessity of sending in for
publication, local items. Tell us every
thing, even Of tlifing Importance
seemingly, in your own way, and we
Will dress it up. Let us have ''items'

which promises to become a favorite,
we should judge, with the reading

sample copy.
