HARTFORD Cry, Aug 6-James T. Butler,
aged fifteen years, son of B. F. Butler living two
miles southwest of this place, has obtained the
reputation Of little hero and plucky boy.
About two months ago he noticed something
growing on the inside Of his right cheek. Little
notice was taken Of it till it had attained the
size of an egg. Medical aid was procured but
nothing could be DONE The boy was taken to
Cincinnati and an able surgeon removed the
tumor, and all the superfuous flesh In less
thana week it had swollen to the size of an
orange, This time a number of teeth were ex-
tracted and part of the lower jaw bone removed.
The boy improved rapidly. Yesterday Doctors
Weist of Richmond, Drayer. DAWSON and Ma
son, of this place, accompanied by your CORE
spondent repaired to the residence Of Mr.. Butler.
Upon a consultation Of the doctors surgical
operation was pronounced useless as it would
only hasten death. The boy rests

himself perfectly willing to endure the
ordeal of another operation 1t has been pro
nounced to be a sarcoma cancer. 1t has ex

A Fruit Picker.

We this week received Orders book
on How to Grow Fine Celery" price
20 cents, in consideration of a notice of
the authors Fruit Picker. This picker
is attached to a pole or handle, which
enables n to gather apples, pears,
peaches, ETC., without going through the
undignifed performance of climbing
the Tree or reaching the limbs by the
aid of a step-ladder. While this instru-
ment will not be appreciated by our
boys and girls who enjoy the exercise
attending the climbing Of the trees TO
secure the rich and jnicy fruit raised in
this country, still it should be in the
hands OF the numerous owners Of large
orchards in this vicinity. The instru-
fnent resembles the nose bag used by
travelling teamsters to feed their stock,
with this exception, at the mouth up.
right wires are inserted, for this reason
the general ntili y Of the picker recon-
mends 1t to our Custer readers, as, while
waiting for the apples, pears, peaches,
ETC., to ripen, fully two months yet, it
can be used for nose bags for horses, or
would prove valuable to those desiring
o wean calves. 1t could also be inverted
and used to protect cabbage plants, Ger.
tainly no we'll regulated family should
be without one. A cut Of the picker can
be seen at this Office.

On the 28th notices signed by School
Township Clerk H.A. Albien, were post.
ed calling ian election to be held June
Is to decide whether the township will
issue bonds to the amount of 5000 for
the purpose Of erecting a graded school
building on the school house block in
Custer City"
This is a move in the right direction
and it is a safe bet that the bonds are
carried by a large majority. The block
designated by the clerks call is located
between Eth and 8th and Montgomery
and Fremont streets. The location com
mands a view Of the entire town, is n
Of the finest and a credit to the
taste Of those who laid out the town and
setit aside for the purpose to which it
is to be devoted.
There is now in the treasury So 500
accruing from the sale Of lots which be-
longs to the building fund besides a
$1,000 or SO surplus in the teachers fund
which might be applied to building pur.
poses by a vote Of the people. but aside
from the latter the $500 can be in
creased by the town board to $4,000 or
5000 by the time the building is com
pleted il it is advertised that there are
still many desirable lots for sale.
We suggested to the old board the al
visibility Of keeping the fact before
the people that there was more lots TO
be had, but n or two objected. be-
cause, while adding several hundred
dollars to the fund, at would cost a dol.
lar or two" at least that was the reason
assigned, and the thing allowed to drop.
There are strangers constantly arriving
in Custer, who, if aware Of the fact that
they could secure lots upon application
to the trustees and On payment Of their
appraised value, would become pun
chasers, and our building fund greatly
increased. AS it is, they arrive and de-
part without knowing anything about
it.
With the funds already on hand add.
ed to the 5000 bonds gives US a total Of
$500 as a starter and there is no doubt
but that any n contracting for the
building would agree to erect a $4,000
building and take his chances on the
$500 additional being raised by the
sale of lots, this would give about such
a building as should be erected. 1t is
within the power of the school board to
make such a contract and we will vouch
for the town board being willing to act
with them in the matter. "Where there
is a will there is a way" is an old and true
saying, and if the powers that be start
out with the above intention there is no
doubt but it can be carried out. There
is no use of starting in now to erect an
clubhouse to which a school house can
be attached hereafter.
