T. II. Parsons, and several others, welt
to Round Lake OH Monday fishing, their
object being to introduce the WALL
Eyed Pike to Okabena Lake. They
took il number of fine specimens and
put about thirty into the West Lake.
Now if fishermen will let them alone.
CT put them back for the present should
they catch any, it will not be long until
this excellent fish will be as common in
Okabena as the picHeral
Prof. Cecil should have had a Com
mittee Of five on Tuesday night, that is,
Tom Gruelle and J. y. Town. the great
Worthington Exposcrs Of Spirit,alism,
should have been Oh the stage with the
rest. If the spirits had got Town, or
his confrere, Gruelle, into the cabinet
they wouldn't have let them off us easy
a, they did Loveless. Gruel)e and
Town would have had the very shirts
stripped from their backs and they
would have stood before the audience
yelling for more clothes.
II is only about two weeks ago that
one Of our subscribers, whom we con-
sidered rs Sound us II gold dollar"
pulled out between two days for parts
! unknown. s. more bustcd.-Siblty
Gazette.
Several Of the ':lest'' men in this
county have served us that trick re-
Gently. Our list of delinquents will be
interesting reading when published.
Our Wcstside correspondent thinks
the people of that end want most of
the old County Officers to step down
and out and give new men 4 chance.
But the old County Officers won't do
it unless the farmers act and put new
men in. j. A. Town hangs to the
public tcat for a third term like a
bull dog to a bologna sausage. If the
people want change let them attend
their caucuscs aud send delegates to
the Convention pledged to change.
D. c. Holmes, who lives few miles
west of Bigelow had some sod corn on
head OF any sod corn we have seen in
this country, and deserves special men,
ton. Three years ago he fenced in 20 a.
ores of land, and pastured lis sheep Oh it
until last spring, when lie broke it up
and planted it to corn. On some of It
he estimates that he will have SO BUSH
els of shelled corn per acre. lie assigns
as the cause of this big yield the fact
that i'll pastGring the. land with sheep
the grass was all killed, the sod cut up
to some extent, and the soil so MANFRED
that it became partially tanned. Thus
sheep are not only profitable for their
wool and increase, but also for subduing
pnrposes.-Sibley Gazette.
! FOUND DEAD - jackson County IS
becoming rather noted for mysterious
deaths. Another easel is reported. On
Wednesday of last week the body of a
man named John Kennedy, a workman
on the railroad, was found ina bayou
almost in the village limits. The man
had been missing about two weeks.
He had been OH a drunken spree just
before his disappearance and there is
strong suspicion that he was murdered.
