LOCAL NOTES.

Lock your stable doors. Don't wait
for any more horses to be stolen.
The Catholic Parochial schools will
open the first week in September.
Morris does not celebrate this year.

the day to any and all towns in need.
Reports of those who were there
lead us to believe that the Old Settlers
found it rather warm on Thursday
out of doors.
George Rowles has given two or
three displays of fireworks free of
charge lately. He has large quantity
of Fourth of July goods.
The subject of the discourse in the
Congregational church tomorrow

dence;" in the evening sour Life
Work"
c. II. Allyn is now Shipping
Mccormick harvesters to Graceville
by the car load lots. Mr.. Allyn has
Il large number of orders from that
locality.
A large party of excursionists will
visit Willard next Wednesday, unless
something happens. The band and
base ball club are in active practice
and hope to acquit themselves cred
IDLY.
The walls of the First National
Bank building are complete and work
upon the interior has been commenced
Enough has been done to show that
the structure will be one of beauty
and that it will present very i'm
posing appearance.
After last Wednesdays issue we
were informed that 1.-The man with
club was after us and for awhile we
were very busy keeping out of the
way of the alleged dangerous individ-
ul. In time, however, Mr.. bowers
. succeeded in cornering us when we
learned, to our relief, that the COM
munication elsewhere published is the
only club he was loaded with.
b. Paine advertizes in this issue for
horse that has strayed or has been
stolen from his place near Barry
station. The horse is very much like
the one stolen from Mr. Wait last
Monday night and it is possible that
the same thief may have both horses.
He may have picked out matched
team, you know. Keep good look
out for horse thieves and if any are
found convince them of the fact
that this is warm climate for such
as they.
There is considerable of complaint
about the slow growth of corn here as
elsewhere in the state. AS means of
Fastening growth our exch an ges
suggests that corn be worked earlier
and better and says its condition
would be much improved. Corn can
be narrowed as soon as it is out of the
ground. We notice that in almost
every instance where corn can be
worked early and we'll it hasa reason
ably good growth and healthy color.
In a few days the directors of the
Stevens County Bank will begin the
work of construction upon a fine bank
building in Herman. 1t will be made
of brick and will in every way equal
the building occupied by the bank at
this place. AS this step would indi-
cate, bank is soon to be established
at Herman by the men who have
organized the Stevens County Bank
of this place, and made it such a
success. Herman is soon to have a
bank that will not fail and is to be
congratulated.
\ change has been announced for
the Fourth of July picnic. Instead of
being in Wunsch's grove it is to be
upon the ground at the catholic
church. Extensive preparations are
now being made and good time is
anticipated. Ample shade will be
made the day before and everything
will be in readiness. Ice cream,
lemonade and other refreshments
will be for sale upon the ground. AS
the proceeds are to be used in fencing
the church property it is to be hoped
that large number will attend and
patronize the picnic literally.
We would advise farmers to keep
all ashes produced and use them to
some profit. Ashes leached or I'M
leached make an excellent fertilizer
for either meadow or pasture if sOwn
upon ground which is naturally dry.
They are as valuable for the grain
growers as the dairyman. Leached
ashes by the load are worth about
twice as much as barn-yard manure,
and unleached much more. The
immediate effect of ashes is not equal
to that of manure, but it continues
much longer. Coal ashes are chiefly
useful for their mechanical effect in
looseninga compact soil.
When little over year ago the
Stevens County Bank was organized
and began business with capital of
$25. 1000, all knew that there was ample
capital back of the institution which
could be had whenever it was needed,
but none, outside of the directors at
least, had any idea that the business
of the bank would grow SO rapidly
or that such large additions to the
capital would be made as is shown by
the present conditions of the bank.
First surplus of Sc, $50 was added to
the capital. Not long ago the surplus
was increased to 1880 and now, we
are informed that in q few days the
capital is to be increased to $4,000
