Mr.. Thos. j. Shinn or Yardell, was

calculate with certainty as to who will

On Monday 9th inst, the levying
court met in Dover and levied taxes for
the ensuing year as follows: County
general purposes mills. Old county
debt mill. III all mills. TO this add
5 mills for state purposes and the

If the Sioux ever had favorable
opportunity to make an argument in
favor of his style ofdress that opportu-
nifty is now. If he can't convince the
world of the superiority of his style OF
wearing apparel when the thermom-

and the Sioux would stand good show
to win.

surprised at the providence which has
hitherto prevented half dozen boys

around the cars to indulge in sucl
sport.

On last Sunday week we visited
Atkins on the occasion of the distric
conference at that place. We arrived
in time to hear three quarters of al

centenary sermon on Methodism. TIT
