Our s!eighing has been trying to slide.
Now is a good time to buy your years
supply of wood.
Hank Filley, landlord of the Clifton House,
has been OFF his feed for few days.
John Minnich of the Lee district, got to
the front one day last week, with bran
new boy, and is doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances.
DR.. Gillis Bradley got kicked by mule a
few days since, whereupon he applied
plaster of his frog tail salve, and drew out
that kick in just 4s hours
Teamsters who are drawing heavy loads
out of the woods have come to the sensible
conclusion that duck-footed sleighs are much
better for that purpose than narrow feet,
and many are having their sleighs fixed
over accordingly.
John Robb, bold hero of the 18th Mich.
nifty, obtained Judgment against the I'M
tied States, last week, amounting to S1333-
&C, and $500 per month alirnony as long as
his name is John Robb. Chas. Z. Galligan
was his attorney.
Bert Van Week sold his baby cab to Wint
Reynolds, last spring, dirt cheap. telling
Wint that ne should have no further use for
| it. When he got home last Wednesday
morning, and found himself the happy daddy
of an eleven pound boy, he wished he had
kept the cab.
koloring kuss from Kalamazoo has
been getting goods from people here to
color, and return in ten days, at stated
price. Weeks after the expiration of the
ten days he returns them by express, with
extra charges, and many are glad to get
them at that.
Last Saturday night the wind busted itself
by rolling up more snow balls than all the
boys in the country could manufacture. An

Judge would remember her little children.
c. G. Bryce, the man shooter. formerly of
this place, now of Fairmount Nebraska, has
our sympathy. He has been once tried and
sentenced to be hung, but has had new
trial granted. He says he lives well in Jail
but feels very badly for fear he may yet feel
the rope around his neck. We fear we shall
have to say "good bye Chet."
The Arlington correspondent doesn't
seem to think it is any disgrace to be an old
maid, but would rather marry second hand
husband than one who imbibes Elixir Vito,
occasionally. Paul said il was much better
to marry than to burn your shins by sitting
around single all the days of your life, by an
old maids fire, or something to that effect
perhaps we have not quoted it exactly
right. At any rate, better take Pauls adj
vice, for he was pretty level headed man.
A lot of young bloods of Berlamont, went
over to John Smiths, near that place, ON
the Sd of last month for the purpose OF
having chivarari at the expense of Johns
daughter and her husband who had
been recently married. As soon as they got
there and surveyed the ground they opened
up very lively, when the old man also opene.
up with his shot gun. Things grew very
interesting about the time the old gentleman
and his gun began to get in their work,
which caused a stampede on the part of the
boys, leaving the other party in full posses
sion of the field. No one was killed, but
several were wounded, one so seriously that

from his head and neck, and II came very,
near costing him his life.
