dish" of late, and cupid has turned him

Wednesday evening, the 10th inst,

storms of the season. The white feath-
cry flakes were unusually large and
came down so thick and fast that the

the wet ground.
There has been war on dogs. Dozens
of useless ours are seen prowling about
every night. Dick Ijams had the good
fortune of finding his canine among
the fallen victims. George Helt has
been accused of doing this deed, and
there is strong talk of law suit, but
George claims that the owner of the
useless cur must first prove he did the
deed. Whether George did the deed
OF not some one has, and it is a good
thing. Whoever did it is on the side
OF the law and is a public benefactor.
What every community needs is more
such men, and then the useless ours
will not be disturbing the quiet of citi-
zens during the night.
The wheat has a nice verdant hue
where the snow protected it from the
rigorous blasts of winter. Examina-
ton shows much Of the wheat badly
damaged, and in many places there
will not be half stand. A half a

over the land would keep the snow on
the ground and save the wheat. Only
few obstacles are necessary to make
the snow drift just where you want.
Eureka school closed last Thursday.
J. X. Byers did we'll as teacher, but
the people gave him little chance to in
struct their children. Many parents
keep their children at home and then
complain because they do not make
more progress at school. l would re-
mind such parents that teachers do not
use guns of such long range and i'm
mense calibre as would reach the
domiciles of such children. The cram
ming process is also failure with such
children, and only years of constant
application and strict oversight will
make of them scholars worthy the
name. LAFAYETTE Boy.
