The man who can account for the In.
consistency In the prices of hogs and
corn will receive the gratitude of his
neighbors for the information. Quite
Il number Of feeders hcreabouts are
holding the hogs for better prices, but
30 long as the market Is flooded with

for the desired rise.
The people of this district seem de.
termined to break the back of the hard

But one hard coal burner has been sold

fine collection of second hand hard coal
burners on the junk market. The time
has been when 1t required small for

| Chas. Lawrence, of the Manning
Monitor, has been sued for libel, In the
sum Of promiscuous thousands. This
unusual attention is liable TO cause the
average country newspaper man to over
estimate himself, but we trust Charles
will remain duly humble and mindful
of small things and old neighbors. The
offense, we believe, was criticism of the
purposes Of a temperance worker.
Ed. Prick and family arrived in Au
dubon last Saturday morning from
Colorado Springs, Colo. Mrs. Frick
and the children will live ON the farm

the Great Rock Island for time, but
with this magnet Of the home upon the
farm we predict that IL will not be long
until he Is permanently located in this
locality. 1t Is an excellent family and
all are glad of their return.
Il. G. Vandenburgh and Frank
Adams were the heroes of brief hour
last Friday night. Ed. Prick, return
ing from Colorado, brought two ante
lope to roast for the entertainment Of
those in attendance upon his public
sale, but the report was circulated that
the first mentioned gentlemen had
brought them down while hunting in
Highland Grove. The boys carried the
honors in good style, as they are jealous
huntsmen, and envied the man who
really enjoyed the rare sport.
George Cross, accompanied by his
brother Frank, and Willie Hunts
burger, went hunting in Highland
Grove Saturday and unfortunately fell
into the hands of the enemy. He drove
a broncho to road cart and the ami
NAL showed rear end pugilistic tenden-
cies peculiar to the mule. 1t reached
out with its right hind foot and with
one accurately directed blow Soraped
Georges leg from ankle to knee with
out pain or sweating hair. The boys
bound the hind gearing to the thills
and drove home without further trouble.
George is a somewhat disfgured but
stationary feature of the home circle
for the present week at least.
