II is remarkable to note the solicitude

for their guests. The utter absence of
conveniences will be equally remarkable
and leave more lasting impression.

Owen +. Idle, late postmaster and
merchant at Brayton, has retired from
both lines md rented the Oliver
Smith farm for period of five years.
This settlement will make some of the
democratic politicians breathe easier
rs Mr., Idle has been frequently men
toned as II possible candidate for audi
tor. In the democratic apportionmcnt,
however, the southern portion of the
county has been quite generally ignored
fact which has no doubt influenced
Mr.. lden withdrawing his name from
the field of candidates. The democrats
down that way seem to be satisfied
with the nomination for surveyor and
the privilege of voting straight.
The Misses Mabel, Alice and Lilli,
Walker went to a luntic yesterday t.
visit Mrs. Mcmillan, who will go tC
