Mrs. j. G. Clark, sitter recovering
sufficiently to rite out, bad another
sick spell md is again obliged to keep
to the house.
Rev. II. H. Hart, secretary 1T the
state board Of charities, has returned
from his California trip and made u
brief visit with the Clark and Newton
families, and took his son Will home.
Will is a promising lad and has spent
the summer pleasantly with his rela-
tives. Mrs. Hart went to California
with her husband, their errand being
to take part in the convention Of Sec
retaries Of state boards and officers Of
penal and reformatory institutions.
One of our farmers, taking his grain
to W0rthinRton last Saturday, was
surprised at finding such q long string
Of teams surrounding the mill and the
warehouse. In conversation with u
brother farmer he was told that this
farmer had hauled some fax to another
town aud had been locked 10 per cent,
and at WOrthington had only been
docked 10 per cent and WAS paid 9 cents
per busheI more than ut the other
place. Another farmer In the CROWD
said lie had taken sample Of his flax
to several towns, and that Worthing-
ton had locked it less A'd paid more
per bushel than he had received whore
he sold his flax. The sentiment of the
farming community is that for fair
dealing, good Aour, rs we'll as prompt
service and gentlemanly treatment, the
Worthington mill is the place to go.
There are quite number of children
in our district that are old enough to
attend school that have not attended
since their parents have moved in here.
Our school year closes in two months
aud the question is, how are these
children to get the three months
schooling which the law requires their
parents to give Them II there is any
remedy for this neglect of duty to
children, will some QUE please mention
it in the ADVANCE.
