Our ingenious citizen, D. w.
Clark, has just realized handsomely
on an invention in the shape of a car
step, which he has been at work on for
some time, while others were asleep,
in fact, and which he has disposed of,
retaining a royalty. Webs Yankee
notions have resulted in The bringing
out of several very handy inventions,
and he still has others on the way
which he hints will beat 'em all.

-Messrs. Grove & Shields started
the drill in a we'll on the Hay tract,
between the James Albaugh and G. F.
Crop farms, Hickory township, this
week. The operations are being push.
ed by /. N. Patterson of Franklin,
who has a large body of land leased in
that section, and proposes to test it as
fast as the drill can do it. Timbers
are on the ground for another we'll
soon as this one is finished, and a loca.
ton has also been made on what is
known as the Furnace tract. These
operations, together with what have
already been done there, will give a
very correct idea of the existence or
non.existence of oil in that section.
The Auditors Report Of the
county for the past year appears to-
day, and presents the usual good
showing of our county's financial
condition. The expenses attendant
upon the erection Of the new bridge in
Green township, have, as a matter Of
course, reduced the surplus" so to
speak, but the work is there to speak
for itself, and a most substantial piece
of architecture it is, too. The wiping
out of this expense, however, will be
SO easily accomplished as to be scarcely
felt by the general taxpayer. If the
affairs of the county are always as
carefully managed as they have been
heretofore, no reasonable person will
complain.
County Auditor "Dick" Flynn
met with an accident on Monday fore
noon last, which for a time was con.
sidered a very serious one. He was
taking out logs for Whiteman & Bauer,
a short distance above Newtown Mills
and was telling a tree which struck q
dry sapling about six inches in diam
eter. Dick saw the sapling coming
for him and started to run out of the
way, but the top of it caught him on
the left shoulder knocking him to the
ground, his face striking on the ice
rendering him Unconscious for over ar
hour. Drs. Weber of Hickory, snd
Mason of this place, were summoned
and upon examination found that DC
bones were broken, although he wal
pretty badly bruised about the hesc
and shoulder. The wounds were prop
erly dressed, and his physicians thinl
be will be able to resume work in {
short time.
