THE great excitement Of last week was
lawsuit between G. G. Willard and Herbert
Kelton, the case being the result OF horse
trade between the two parties named. After
considerable trouble and objection, a jury Of
five were drawn, who, after hearing the testi-
mony, brought in verdict for plaintiff to re-
cover SO 60 and costs.
The music-loving people OF this vicinity had
a rare opportunity, last week Thursday even
ing, OF listening to one Of the most thoroughly
enjoyable concerts ever held in this town. The
enterprise was started for the purpose of giving
benefit to two of our leading siDgers-Mrs
Charles Hamblin and Mrs. Frank Willard-who
were the recipients OF some over $50 as the
result. Too much credit cannot be given
Professor G. F. Dudley, the popular conductor,
for the final grand success of the enterprise.
