You may perhaps think that some
thing ought to happen here by this
time, but the fact is our citizens are
law-abiding and de not kick-up any
shines.
The topic that is most generally
talked about here is potatoes. We
have heard them Cor the place where
they ought to have been) talked about
so much lately, that we 90 not think
we shall ever want to eat another one
There will be only about half the
average crop. Mr.. Myron Buck has
got little patch of Is acres, and
thinks he will have enough to eat.
Mr.. j. P. Applebee says if the
chap that stole his apples is really
poor and will call around, he will give
him few bushels.
We have been to serenades where
they used all the tin pans, horns.
bells, &C., that could be gathered, but
the one we attended the other night is
the kind for us. Mr.. Frank Davis
who was married short time ago
sent around word that he was ready
to see his friends. Well we never
knew that one man could have Sc
many. There was about one hundred
answered to the call, and they all en-
joyed themselves hugely. Refresh
ments were served at eleven O'clock,
when all went home wishing AIr. and
Mrs. Davis q long and happy life, and
that we could all help them to cele-
brate their golden wedding.
The saying is that cleanliness is
next to goodness. Well no wonder
then that butter made from Cooley's
Portable Dreamer brings from three
to five cents pound more than
butter made from the best dairics i'll
the country by open setting pans, for
by the Cooley system no flies, mice,
dust, or bad odors can get near The
milk. We know that some parties
here using the Cooley Dreamer have
obtained better price for butte. than
any OF their neighbors, and have made
one-third more butter than any of
their neighbors with the same number
oil COWS.
We have been looking for some one
to ask us to help them husb out their
corn, and eat pumpkin pies.

for their trouble, for the little folks

mastery way in which the young
organist presided at the organ helped
to make u success of their Sabbath
School concert.
Mr.. Concll Stevens had to 90 into
his sugar place the other morning tC

Mr.. Simond's furniture, a ram, and

He succeeded in getting out some
