ELKroN NOTES.

EDITOR REvIEw:-In this land of prosper
ity and fern the happenings among the people
that constitute good news items, are scarce.
However we will tell youa part of what we
know. First we know that the weather is
very hne for the time of year. Yesterday was
as fine day for the race-the human race
as we could wish to see. We also know that
| if the weather does not continue favorable for
the next two or three months, that a great
many stock in the land will .kick the bucket.
And another thing we know is that the farm
ers are blowing right along just as though
wheat was going to be money this year. We
know, or at least some one told US, that Rev
Black was in the village on Sunday, but
whether he preached or not we do not know.
And again we know that wild geese are more
scarce than they have been for several years.
Further, we know that John Smith took his
three Oldest children to your city to have them
IN school there. A wise conclusion. And
still again we know, or at least we have it from
good authority, that there arrived at the resi-
dence of VIM. Stark on the 5th inst turkey
driver. The gentleman is too light to be OF
service this year, however he maydo the milk
ing. Weight-well we thought we knew but
we don't. Its upward of considerable though.
Will is convalescent.
We think we know that P. w. Rhodes took
small load of bacon to Scottsburg to-day on
r.. ,-fg al ,,lo
We would know, five had seen it, that there
is some good grass in the land, but as Gus.
Woods is always telling when he comcssdown
from his ranch, how well his sheep are doing
we are bound to believe there is some good
grass up there.
John Kent and Creed Lane came down from
Drain, Saturday and returned Sunday, We do
know that, for We saw thcr pass both ways
on their trip. But hold on before we tell you
all we know, we will chop off right here and
take a rest.
Since We wrote the above and have rested,
we know something more. The REVIEW
came to hand and was all that was promised,
a splendid number TO lay away for future ref
ence. Let the good work so on.

nice these cold frostymornings.
