throwing the doctor out, but not in
juring him in any way. The horse ran

on his way. On Tuesday the equine

Merchants and business men in the
smaller towns should patronize their
local newspapers in preference to "city
journals" or advertising schemes with
high sounding names that swOOp down
upon the country towns with persistent
regularity. The local paper is the one
that prints gratuitously Il thousand
and one good and true items of inter
est and value to the town, and whose
columns are always open to those
persons who can do good for the
community.
Our contemporary mentioned the
fact last week of the youngest and old
est members of four generations being
seen on our streets, in the persons of
Mrs. Elder d. Brown and little Willie
Mencrey. We are informed that in the
family of Mrs. Foster Francis, of this
place, who is visiting her parents in
Canada ut present, there are five gene
ratiOns still living. Although very old f,
Mrs. Francis parents are still quite
vigorous and will probably live many
more years.

lily, and partook of II bountiful repast.
Among those present were Mrs. Frank
Robinson and daughter, and Mrs. Al
bert Jackson and son, of Yale. The
aged couple, who are each 20 years old +,
were the recipients of many useful and
valuable presents.
The I. O. +. had the misfortune to
extend challenge to the boys of the
village to play II game of base ball last
Saturday. The result was that they
got very badly walked ON, even when
the umpire tried to keep the score rs
nearly even as possible, 10y giving de-
cisiOnS in favor of the |. o. Fs. The
score was 26 To II. The boys in Yale
put up good game of ball, and we
would like to see Il match arranged be-
tween them and some outside club.
Yale will have new brass band and
orchestra combined. The members of

An exchange says there are some
things Il level-hcadcd human being

kindlng fire with kerosene oil, walk
ing on railroad track, attempting to
board moving train, pointing Il gun

others note, keeping his savings in an
old stocking under the. bed, playing Il
game of chance with Il prepossessing
stranger, taking unknown medicines
for real or imaginary Ills, running for
Office when he has better paying
position in private life, or calling Il
