DR. u s. Tanner on Saturday, had
completed the 9Th day " his fast lie has
discontinued drinking large quantities ot
water and only gargles his throat with
Crolon at its prevailing temperature.

The Sentinel speaks Of the presence
Of the Census Enumerators, awaiting at
the county clerks office the lapse Of two
days for the examination Of the lists and
their correction, and severely glmccs at the
folly ofthe operation How many will
probably go to the county seat upon such
an errandY Not one in 500, certainly Of
those Lying remote from the Hub.
Our local editors interpret "a little
freely, the teXt-"The Sabbath was made

While at the llarbor the otherevening,
in speaking Of the dilapidutcd old pontoon
bridge, one of the leading citizens " the
place was earnest in favor Of new and
| suitable bridge-such one as the COM
mercial Importance Of the locality de-

the spreading Of a rather luXur Gus repnst,
made hem-through Elder Day-the re-
ciptantS of an elegant china ten set, on The
occurance of the twentith anniversary Of
! their marriage. The occasion was one Of
happiness--a condition Of things that our
Methodist friends know well how to propo-
gate and enjoy.
Mr.. 5. II. Fox, 1925 n. 9Th ST., Sc.
Louis Mo-, has apparently complete
contrivance for the determination Of po-
tato bugs and other vermin that ravage
vegetation, and he is making for it II wide
field Of usefulness among farmers Of the
west. We haYe been favored with sam
pie one, and cannot but believe it is the
best thing out for securing tho end in
view. Our potato growers might find it a
profitable machine, and therefore, will do
well to examine ours.
