1t is expected that it will be dull IN
town during the next few months. 1t is
always so in summer except DUNG a
brief period after harvest. The news
g.therer finds it laborious task to get
up q readable paper at such time, and
1t is then that he stands most in need OF
the assistance Of his friends in the col
lection of news. We therefore earnestly
request our friends both in town and
country to lend us their aid by reporting
TO us anything and everything which may
occur to their minds as containing the
material for an item. Nearly everyone
who comes to town could recall something
which would make an interesting item II
they would only take the time to think 1t
up. Please bear this in mind, friends,
and you VIII do us favor for which we
will be duly thankful.

Since the last issue Of our paper we
learn that dogs have been playing havoc
with the sheep in other parts Of the coun'
ty and Valley. A number Of persons have
also been attacked by these mongrel nui-
sances and IT IS really becoming unsafe
to pass along the streets and roads at
night. There certainly is remedy for
this state of affairs. Every man has it in
his power to rid the land Of some Of
these dangerous pests. As the hot season
approaches the risk from hydrophobis
will grow greater, and should even one
of these rowing ours become rabid, some
thing that is quite possible, it would soon
create a terrible state Of affairs. How
long would it be before we would have
the whole county thickly infested with
them. One mad dog would bite fifty in
the first few hours in this country.

The cut worm has been worse In the
cornfelds Of this section, especially where
heavy sod was turned under, than ioI
