BROWNSDALE,

Miss Thatcher is to have spelling
school in the Tanner district school house
Thursday evening.
Will Knox is clerking for w. H.
Lawrence, Alex. Kerr having given up
his situation there and accepted posi-
ton with A. L. Sleeper & Son.
Frank Rolph is again around on our

erysipelas, and though he has the better
Of it, foc the time being at least, yet 1t
has left him rather weak and thin.
The Ramsey Mill Exchange is in op-
Grafton again. r. E. Colby has it in
charge. He is also running a feed mill
in connection with the exchange business.
He invites the patronage Of the public,

There is a registered letter in the
Brownsville P. o. for Jeremiah Con-
nors," from Dublin, Ireland. If the par.
ty claiming the letter chances to read
this, or any friend Of his who may know
of his whereabouts, they will do well to
inform him, as the letter will otherwise
have to be sent to the Dead Letter Office

The desire TO become telegraph op.
orators seems to have struck several of
cur young people in dead earnest. Thos.
Rounce, Charles Harris and Fred Hun,
have lines connecting the houses of their
parents, and the spare time of the boys
is spent in listening and replying to the
clicks Of their instruments. This is
combining pleasure with profit, and may
be of great use to the boys in after life.
The ice harvest has commenced
George Rolph is laying in his summer
supply. We never saw better quality
of ice. 1t is clear as crystal and of splen
did thickness. George is in hopes to get
his house filed this week, as he proposes
to visit several of our eastern cities dur.
ing the coming months, including Mil.
waukee, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington. On his return home he will come
via Cincinnati, Indianapolis and St
Louis. He proposes to stop several days
IN each town and view the sights. We
wish him pleasan. journey and safe
return.
The first dance of the series of club
dances was held in Grange hall last Fri
day evening. Agood sized party were in

string band was splendid, in fact the
band as now organized is superior to thu
old organization. The officers chosen by
the club we're: Alex. Kerr, Secretary

er. G. E. Sanborn and G. L. D,ngman
