Elisha, nine year old son of
w. Davis, was fearfally bitten by
dog last week. The child was play
ing with the dog when he grew an
cry and fastened his teeth in the
face of the child, tearing the cheek
from the eye to the mouth, DIR.
Campbell was called in and sewed
up and dressed the place and the
child is doing well but may be dis
figured for life. This is only one OF
a thousand arguments for extermi-
mating the canine family.
Il am asked every day what
has become of our LynLville bank,
many regarding it as hoax that
| was Iusing as boost. Surprise is
manifest when told that every word
that was said was true and yet our
people hold aloof from taking hold
of the bank. The enterprise of
Lynnville is ridiculed and am
put to shame for want of words to
defend her course. The status of
the bank now is this; Three fourths
of the capital is proposed by non
residents. Now will our e-fourth
be safe to be controlled by nonresi-
dents? On that hangs the objec-
ton. 1 say yes. If they make money
for themselves they are making it
also for US.

Fry branch is noted for hounds
aud hunting. Christmas day they |
started a red fox early in the morn
ng and ran till night. The whole
men, boys and dogs,
we're drawn into the chase, yet Rey
1ard eut-winded them all. At night |
there was only two men and one
log in the chase and the fox as
fresh as the morning breeze. The
fox passed in a few feet several
times of the men but they would
not hurt him. They feel very proud
Of the staying qualities of their
champion fox.
