The town sergeant has handed in his
annual report to the council, and 1t now
remains to be seen whether or not our
authorities will see proper to publish it in
order to show our people what is being

A malignant form Of distemper has been
prevailing as an epidemic among the

The Eureka club. of this place, has
adopted a uniform that will set the boys
off in fine style 1t consists of blue pants,
with red stripe, red stockings, white game
shirts and jockey caps. They are getting
themselves IN trim for Fishers Hill on
Friday, where they expect to grapple
with the Climax of Woodstock, in n des-
perate struggle for victory in the deciding
game between these clubs.
We earnestly hope that our people will
at once take steps to clean up and put in
order the old cemetery Of this place 1t
is burning shame to see this last resting
place Of our departed ones in such neg
lected and desolate looking condition.
Will not some one make a move in this
matter, and see flour people will not meet
and give a day to this purpose, while
those who cannot spare the time can sub
scribe towards fund to hire labor. We
hope this reproach to the town will not
exist many days longer.

Bring your sweet hearts, your wives your

ugly and homely men. All shall have a
chance to win. A Floral Harp VIII
be voted to the most beautiful
lady; large cake to the most interesting
miss. and n basket Of cut flowers to the
sweetest baby; and to the most homely
man, a basket Of peanuts. We suggest
peanuts as we are quite fond of them. Our
wife thinks we'll have two chances. Tho
lady attendants will he dressed in paper
costumes and wait upon a generous people
with all the deicacies of the season.
P.S.-Since writing the above, we learn
that DR.. Below will also contest for the
peanuts. This gives us doubtful show

harrison with the old Irish Primer from
Augusta county. But in either event wo
think well get the peanuts, as the doctor
will not eat them.
