o. P. Hayes was unfortunate enough
to lose his pocketbook on Friday, with
some $500 in currency, and $500 in
drafts, but fortunate enough to find it
again with contents intact, near his
bee hives, which he had been closely
inspecting in the morning.
+ Harry Sphinx has handed US the leg
and talons of mammoth hen hawk,
which he found dead in the field on his
way to election. From the anterior to
the posterior talons the measurement
is 4 inches, while the massive limb
shows great muscular power: AS it
had evidently just been killed, we re-
gret not being able to secure the speci-

Mrs. S. J: Lewis. from the Corners,

who can do and are willing

e. l.. White has leased the well
known Atwater farm of $50 acres, for a
period of three years, and will move

Mrs. Whites energy and push in all
business enterprises, confidently pre-

more than q living and the rent from
the place, which prediction we hope
may be verified.

the Hoskins house and lot, west of the
school building, and has already moved

Theodore Burnett recently missed a
PACKAGES money amounting to $l8,
from his place of business under rather
suspicious circumstances, and keeping
the matter quiet a few days, succeeded
in fastening the theft on an employe,
who attempted to pass upon him a sin
gular looking coin that had done ser
vice at one time asa pin, and had been
placed with other money In the pack
age. Mr:aiB.; with his characteristic
generosity refused to prosecute on ac-
count of an innocent wife and little
one, but the aforesaid employees out of
ajob in this locality. While the course
pursued toward the thief may have
been just to the wife and child, it seems
a trifle like placing a premium on the
commission of crimes of this nature,
which have been alarmingly prevalent
in our place for some time. .-,--
For those who prefer tramping and
theft with its precariousness and un-
certainty to honest industry, with hon
or, usefulness and competency, we
