The Phillipsburg Herald sug-
gests, that owing to the failure Of
crops IN Phillips county, for the sake
OF economy, the county fair and sold
Iers reunion be postponed this year

most sensible suggestion. Atchi8O71

VIM. Bradley is circulating a
subscription paper asking for cOntri-
buttons to pay the expenses of the
proposed Soldiers Reunion in Phil
burg. He thinks that $4,000 will be
enough to defray the expenses. 9th

amount.

Recently Mr.. Thos. Sisgons. who
resides near Dana, came in for a So
cial talk. He says two years ago he
borrowed q wagon load of corn from
a nelghbOr. He neglected returning
1t though often mentioning the mat
ter to his neighbor. After the corn
failure this year he bought a load and
drove it over to the nelghbor. who
said to him: ''Mr. SissOns when Won
borrowed that corn it was cheap: now
1t is dear; you had to buy that corn
at a high price to pay me; haul it
back home again and wait till you
raise a crop and then return me the
corn" That certainlyIs the Christian
spirit; that mans action is at this
time worthy Of emulation Let all
our people be neighborly, be gener-
GUS as was this neighbOr. and though
pInch5ng times may come in the near
future the troubles will be oheerfully
! endured.
