sents a circular corrugated plaque of OXl-

heart of plain gold, paved with diamonds,

A costly brooch is in the shape Of a six
pointed star, the rays set with emeralds,
rubes and diamonds. In the centre is a

An attractive brooch has center piece Of

head. Surrounding 1t are sixteen diamonds
and pearls set alternately, the latter varying
from pure white TO an almost black color
Watch cases in OXidized silver are now seen
IN many designs. A spider snug within his
web, scene from the familiar willow pat
tern on china flowers. leaves, rocks and
landscapes, all etched, are among those most
in favor.
A handsome cigarette case is of oxidized
silver, having on It's cover female figure in
Iepousse surrounded by sunburst. The
case is slightly curved in order TO fit snugly
against the body when carried in an upper
vest pocket.

From the Grabow district comes the in
formation that
j. T.. Hover closed his term of school in the
Grtbow district on Friday. He has contracted
toteach the school the coming year at $50 per
month.
Hover took the contract too cheaply. Fifty
pei month while seemingly a very liberal
salary, is not enough by any means During
the fall season }. Il. will walk home each
night with a different pupil, whose fond
parents will insist upon his catcchising the
supper, Then when bedtime arrives
they viii put him IN the spare bedroom,
which has not been opened for ninety days,
and he VIII disrobe and climb in between a
pair of cotton sheets which have not been
aired since January 30, and will lay there
and shivcr and wish he was back in York
| state. Then in the morning he will wake up
| with II bad cold, and during the day Will
| call uD the first glass i'd spcllig,n and snccZe
| aud kerchoo for three weeks. During hog
| killing time he will dine, sup and break fast
upon tenderons, spare-ribs and souse until
| he arrives at a condition when he will be
| ashamed to look hog in the face. During
| the winter season he will be compelled TO
| build his own fires in the morning two hours
| before school opens, and in blizzard time will
| have 10 tic his pupils together with a string
|
| no subscription will be started, because such
| action will by that time be chcstnutty. No,
| Hover, $50 is not enough.
| From Hooper il is learn that
Fish are reported as being quite plentiful in
| the river and the lakes since the recent rise in
| the river. and our local sportsmen are having
considerable sport. Joe Caldwell captured II
! catfish Friday that weighed twenty-three
| pounds.
As this is the first fish story of the season,
| nothing will be said.
| Last week this column contained several
| birth announcements. They were all singles
aud there was Il raft of 'em, metaphorically
| speaking. But a new movement has been
| naugurated. They are coming in pairs
| Listen to this from SCribuer.
| The home of Mr.. ana Mrs. Gus II. Buns was
| made happy Monday morning by the arrival OF
| Il full pair OF twins. u boy ana a girl.
These may be styled Fresh Buns. Right

any notice IN this column hereafter unless
he on she is born twins. This single handed
work must be stopped, c. M. j.

There is very remarkable apple tree in
