And for the trOutlet lies in wait.
Next day when by his friends besOught
The nature of his luck to state,
He tells what heavy fish he caught,
And as before he lies in weight.
The weather the past week has been
cold, with several frosts, which were
rather light.
If you want carriage at bottom
prices and on easy terms, call on
Child d Co. They warrant all work.
Geo. L. Waterman, ESQ.,, is gradu-
ally wearing out. He is confined to
his bed, is perfectly helpless and is
very emaciated.
The ladies' room at the depot has
undergone a renovation lately. New
settees have been put in and the walls
adorned with pictures. 1t is now
very cheerful waiting room.
Johnnie Gray has sold the Scion
Whitcomb farm purchased by him a

Judging by the wood pile Albert

Butter ranges from Is to II cts.
Although this is low it is about four
cents higher than at this time last year.
The strikes in the West have prevent
ed the shipping of butter east, which
probably accounts for the increase.
George Sherwin of Burlington was
in town last week. George is sue
cessfully engaged in the sale of tele
phone instruments and electrical
goods. He received a premium at the
late New Orleans exhibition for the
best display of goods in his line.
States Attorney Mcfarland, besides
giving his attention to law, insurance,
&C., devotes little time to agricul- |
ture. He has a fine bed of strawberry |
plants, of different varieties from
which he expects to gather fifty or
more quarts. We hope to be able to
report on the quality later.
The Creamery shipped its first in
stallment of butter Tuesday, which
was very small. The patronage thus
far is very light and unless the man
agement and the farmers ''get to-
gether it would seem that the cream
cry enterprise will be a failure,
which fact we should very much re-
greet to record. The creamery is a
benefit to our town in many ways, |
the greatest of which is in the amount |
OF labor saved TO the farmers wives.
Last Friday afternoon as one of the
scholars at the "Battle Row" school |
house was playing out in the road she
got into clay hole, going in up to
her body. The youngster was unable
TO get out and it took the combined |
efforts of several to eXtricate her,
which was accomplished after several |
minutes hard work. At first it was
thought the child was seriously injured |
but it proved only to be bruised
For little while there was consider |
able excitement in the neighbOrhood.
