as organist at the church during the past
week. The lady has gone to her home at
Guthrie Center.
VIM. Stuart and John Oliver drove a
herd Of about thousand sheep through
Gay last week, to one of the, Stuart farms
north of town. Their well trained dogs
showed wonderful sagacity in handling
the large herd. Mr.. Palmer has charge OF
the woody fellows.
Il. p Wilson is at work in Perkins
wagon shop. Mr.. Wilson has not been
able to do hard work for the past two years,
and is glad to get at the bench again.
Mr. Wilson, OF Manning, shipped car
load of nice steers from here n few days
since. They we're fed by George anc
Chas. McLachlin, and were good ones.

has had great influence in bringing about
this much desired result.
We know of number of farmers in thi,
vicinity who have over thousand bushels
each OF corn still in the fields, and good
portion OF it is on the ground and has been
showed under once. These men feel like
committing murder on any man who pre-
diets billiards.
The engine on this branch IS ornamented
with a snow-plOw. Nothing like being
ready for business.
That fellow living south of town who
loaded his hogs up with swill just before

as the buyer was up to his little game.
