wise our farmer friends to look out for

and spicy, making it the most useful

cents.
j. Lloyd Rohr's new paper the
Townville Nelgs Crawford Co.. has
reached us, and for a starter it is
good. 1t is large eight-page sheet,
with lots Of reading matter, aud sells
for the paltry sum Of one dollar a
year, which is too cheap considering
the general excellence of the paper.
Mr.. Rohr is capable Of getting up a
first.class newspaper if he wants to,
and if he keeps right on as he has
started out and don't succeed the fault
will not be his. You have our best
wishes, j. Lloyd.

the pigeons, now coming into this Sec
ton, from indiscriminate slaughter
while i'll the roosting grounds. This
is as it should be. We don't know
whether any shooting has as yet been
done, but it would seem that there has
been, which is wrong and ought to be
stopped. If parties want the birds to
roost or stay ia this section, so that
they can enjoy the sport Of getting a
few hereafter, they should not drive
them out by going into the roosting
grounds and shooting. We have been
requested to state that the law on the
subject will be enforced 70 the letter
