Tive farmers Of Bullen's Mills, Franklin
county, about Thanksgiving time got up their
flock to select one or more to kill and drove
them into room in the barn cellar After
making their selection they neglected to turn
the rest out and soon forgot all about them. In
a few days they were missed from the fsrm
and diligent search was made for. them on the
adjoining farms, without success; and when
thirteen days had passed since getting the
sheep mp, they were accidentally found where
they we're placed Three of the sheep were
dead and one so nearly gone that it died in a
short time. The Pennington Chronicle is in
formed that the only food they had was the
wool eaten from one another.

sun shone rot ouce but no rain felland those
persons who made calls could only omplain of
muddy crosswalks. The custom bf making
calls was not so universally csrriGg out today
as on last New Years. In fact he custom
seems to be gradually falling into ksnse. Nor
did there seem to be many card Aaskets out
either, and refreshment tables psre spread
meagrely. The usual services werrheli ia the
Roman Catholic and Episcopal chrchss and
were as a rule fairly attended. lbe warm

Pay Up.


Sheriff d. ]. Reid gives notice to
taxpayers in to-day's Echo that the
tax rolls for the year 1885 have been
turned over to him and that their taxes
are now due and collectable. They
are further notified that said taxes will
become delinquent on January /, 1886,
and will draw three per cent interest
per month on personal property, and
one per cent on real estate, if not paid
before that time. Parties owing taxes
on personal property are also notified
that such taxes must be paid forthwith,
as said taxes become delinquent on
October /, 1885, after which date no.
tees will be issued as required by
law, at cost Of the taxpayer We
would advise those wishing to avoid
costs and trouble to walk into the
Sheriff's Office, wink at Charlie, pull
out their pocketbooks and settle up.

Important to stock owners.

We call special attention to the no.
tice which appears in this issue of the
Echo relative to stock ranging on the
land known as the J. B. Watkins pur-
chase. Parties having stock on this
magnificent range and who do not
wish to remove the same, can, by
communicating with Prof. S. Thorn
son at once, make arrangements to
keep their stock on these lands. This
no doubt will be of great advantage
to those stock owners who have stock
used to this range, as a change in
range at this season of the year would
no doubt cause heavy loss in stock,
as it takes a considerable length of
time for stock to prosper on new
grazing grounds.
