around when nuts rippen, however.

on the Hill farm three miles up the

and dislocation of the ether, bones of
the forearm at the elbow joint. DR..

present Mr.. M. is doing very well.
The walk in front of the M. E.
Church has at last been built, and the
improvement i'll appearance and con-
venience is immense. 1t beats all
what little pride on the part of our
citizens will do toward the looks of
the town. The Council has decided
to extend the walk from the church to
Partridge's store, and connect with
his walk, thus giving the citizens a
chance to travel the east side of the
street, without wadisg in mud to their
knees.
Several parties who are interested
