Come of thcm know how to fall In all
manner of forms; but as yet no craniurns

Several teams have been buy off and
and on for several days hauling cinders
to top dress the main ROAD between Lin-
wood and the Practical Farmer. To our
way of thinking this makes the best and

A young man who goes by the nick
name OF Buck, who occasionally makes a
trip to Philadelphia, went few evenings
ago to see his "Bonnie La'sie." He
, came down on the m dnight train, In
tending to get off at Linwood. He fell
asleep and was carried to Holly Oak be

When we estimate the value of truth by
dollars and cents it would be a good
policy to drown the world again.
