Behold how great fire the ground hog
hath kindled,
The last three weeks has -been very
severe on the growing wheat and clover.
Our citizens have booked an early
Spring. and the indications now are favor
able for its existence.
Some of our young candidates for GER

ceive justice in proportion to the percent
age.
Joseph Russell, of Colerain City, still
continues dangerously i'll, and it is proba-
| ble his days are almost numbered.

ately. Mr.. N. Kennedy of Kidd is the
specitier

terment Friday at the Pleasant Grove
cemetery
The might Cap" social given by the
ladies of the Pleasant Grove Church was
a grand success. The gentlemen blushed
unseen at the arrival of the Night Caps.
Each lady donated pound of something
to eat. This constituted the supper
which was very elaborate. The presence
of large number of the young Presby-
terian from Pennington made the occa-
sion very profitable and enjoyable. They
have the thanks of the committee for
their liberal support. Some excellent
music was rendered by Misses Ella and
Bird White, of Colerain City.
The Bundy & Walker crate manufac-
ture is running large amount of ma
chinery in their factory. They are in
dustriOus young men, and should be en-
cOuraged by the people.
A young man from Fairpoint who was
muchly under the influence of "booze,"
read an essay at the Barton Literary So
ciety that would have made the man in
the moon blush. The members of the
society sat down so hard on him that he
will not get the opportunity again to do
so. COUNTRY COUSIN.
