Everything seemed to be quiet
about the Lane except the whist

smith and wagon-maker shops,
and the putting of the engine at
the stave factory.

learn, are all in a prosperous con-
dition in this district. Master
Porter Seibert "a pupil of Falling

scholars at said school last week,
and distributed lot of sweet
meats among them.

As our village has not been
represented in your columns for
for some time, allow us to drop
you line. Our little place is
slightly on the improve. Several
new buildings are going up; pave
ments are being laid, and there is
some talk of having the town in
corporated. When that occurs
there will be an. opportunity for
Office seekers. We can't exactly
make up our mind as to which
office we would like but have an
ide of laying our pipes for the P.
0. To be sure we have a good
postmaster; one who has an eye to
the comfort and convenience of the
general public, and one in every
way better qualified than we are;
but that's nothing to us. It's a
fat place and we want it. When
we get it we want some of our
friends to bring the string band
around. We will buy a peck of
peanuts for the occasion. We are
writing our speech now.
There is considerable sickness
in this section and the doctors are
kept busy.
