ginning to look like busy, thriving
and prosperous place.
"A Bachelors Mutual Aid Associa.

sSsng lawyers out of tho question) is

lsx we are gratiticd to learn that the
8SRaiIroad Commission have reduced the

&lIQrth and south from this place. The
&sgood results Of just and reasonable

by some people.
assS The farmers arc directing their
$Hnie and attention just now largely to
&{preparing the land and sowing fall
grain. We arc reliably informed that
Mt least fifteen per cent. more small

Biii the next few months than durin"
$any previous year since the war. This
IS one OF inc gC)d results ul

CLOSES the work Of receiving and col
83lecting taxes to-day, unless the time is
8extcnded, and there seems now to be
