The postof1ice department is to
have new postal card. It is very
much like n double card Of the pres
ent pattern. The back folds are

are folded and joined in the center.
when the card is ready for mailing,

The usual number of farmers and
other individuals are daily being in
duced to sign their names to con-
tracts which turn up in 80 days to be
promissory notes, This is strange
world, but it is stranger that the far
mer allows himself to be gulled so
readily. Almost every paper publish
ed in the United States contains an
account of some successful bunco

presented by strangers.
. One morning before it was light
went up on Pigeon creek to shoot
pigeons. 1 tried my horse to a
swinging limb, and waited for it to
become light enough for me to see
how to shoot. When it was light
enough I shot at some pigeons near
by, and when the smoke cleared
away I noticed that my horse was
gone. l looked all around for him
but could see him nowhere, until
hearing groan looked up and saw
him hanging in the air. I had tied
him to the top of tree on which
the pigeons were roosting, and
when I fired the gun the pigeons
flew, the tree Strengthened up and
carried my horse with it.

weather kept many at home OF

four o'clock the rain began to poul
down and the people began to poul
out of the grove like rats out of
burning barn. The ladies', fame,
dresses soon looked like in sack -clotl

and hats assumed the appearance OF
whipped ROSTERS tails. Snyder
