bier will lock horns again ere long
The buckwheat crop is pretty in
digent crop this season.

No. "a is yerv nearly under compile
ton. Samuel ]. Sisler is the con-
tractor, and is doing very creditable

W b. Fieeland has recently enclos
ed his house and yard with a neat
paling fence.
We understand that Bill ID. itch
enell and Ed. Messenger are gnash-

We are informed that d. G., Of

with The Lovely Flowers that he has
collected. We learn that he has
Barn(e)s sufficient to contain all the
rare beauties of nature.
We learn thct Bill ID Titchenell is
an aspirant again for Legislature.
Well, we think the Republicans would
CO well in lelecting Bill for their
nominee, as they cannot find another
man who is more dextrous debater,
and better versed in the politics of
our own country, at the present day,
than he is. We understand that he
says that Bill Dawson promised to
make the nominating speech for him
before the county convention. If
Billy ID. T gets the position for
which he is seeking, he will give to
the problems of government some
thing Of that grandeur which the
higher mathematics have borrowed
from astronomy.
