Miss Jamison was the guest of Miss

Smith Town had quite a jolly party
last Friday evening. But some sly

Our community was wakened up
last and this week by the whistle of the
steam thrasher. The first of the sea-
son that passed through here.
Two unknown young ladies make
frequent visits to this vicinity and dive
a splendid turnout. What is peculiar
about their visits is that they never
stop at any house, but tie anywhere a.
long the road and rove about over the
fields. There must be some special at.
traction.
There is quite a watery fight in our
town just now. First DIR. MusSer's
dam was torn out, and the water COM
pany's pipes were cut off and dragged
away. Next the DOCTORS pump stock
was removed and the pipes stopped up
with rags and stones, so both parties
had no water for a while. At this
writing the company's as well as the
DOCTORS water is running but the fight
has only commenced right. JUMBO.

There was quite a knock down In the

tween one of our merchants and
clerk in another store. They had
dispute in settling an account when the
parties became angry and the former
picked up weight and threw it at the
clerk, whom he fortunately missed and
shattered some jars instead. The clerk
thereupon cliLched and downed the

yelled enough. The fight Iesultt d in a
