The Yale "Hustlers" can't play ball
and know it, but they have evidently
made it so warm for Peck that the lat
ter care very little about carrying out
their arrangement for three games for
$40 side each game, to be played al
ternately in Peck and Yale. Because
the first game, at Peck, resulted in tie
Peck insists on playing off the tie in
that town, which would make two con-
secutive games there. Yale stands
ready, when the Peckites scrape up the
necessary sand, to play according to
agreement.

Once upon time a certain man got
mad with the editor and stopped his
paper. The next week he sold his corn
at four cents below market price. Then
his property was sold for taxes because
he didn't read the Sheriffs sales. He
was arrested and fined eight dollars TOR
hunting on Sunday, simply because he
did not know it was Sunday, and he
| paid three dollars for lot of forged
notes that had been advertised for two
weeks, and the public cautioned not to
negotiate them. lie then paid big

The most if not quite all of our
readers are aware that a great stir has
been created in the literary world by
the announcement by Chicago pub
fishing house that they could furnish
an edition of the "Original Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary for three or
four dollars. The book is original"
and rather "antiquated" as well, being
the edition of 1S47-which no one in
this enlightened and progressive age
wants at any price. The book is not
printed from type, neither is it printed
on paper, being only semblance
of paper. The contents of the book
are away behind the times The ety.
mOlogses are utterly misleading; the
definitions are imperfect; ditto the vo-
cabulery. Canvassers are going about
the country trying to induce the people
to buy this wonderful CD book

Cyrus Robinson'S house on Main street

drain which Henry Slight had just
placed through his yard was complete

on the street from the post Office to
Holden u Warnings store was ten inch

and the road bed east of the station
was cat out in different places; the cul-
vert at Geo. Elias conner was washed
out, and the road leading to the school
house was rushing flood. This is only
part of the damage done, which can
hardly be estimated, but we can safely
say that we have had enough rain to
last us at least two weeks.
