Tho following from one OF our exchanges
Is very true: 1.-THE reader should never grum-
ble because lie fails to get every scrap OF news.

his m!lk-by pumping. II everyone would
give the newspaper s'1ch little scraps Of news
as come under their observation, the local
newspaper wcud become much better sheet.

own boys, Of winning tho game-never men,
tioning tho good work dono by the three boys
from tho Hope team who assisted them. Wo
have heard several entiro strangers to both
teams who witnessed the game say that IL 1t
had not been far the good work dono by Tho
Hope boys that Cooperstown could never have

and has the happy faculty OF gaining the en-
tire and earnest symrathy Of lis hearers-in

tiro touch with every class Of his hearers. 1t

to predict for him full house of enthusiastic
hearers.
We have heard numerous inquiries lately
rs to whether the boiler Inspector will be on
hand before thrcshing Ergins to inspect boilers
Of threslling and other engines and to exam
inc applicants for license to run engines, as
the law prescribcs that he shall Co. So far
since tho law was enacted not boiler has
been Inspected in the county and applicants
for licensa have been compelled to go and
hunt up the inspector in order to receive an
examination. It is the opinion of a great
many that there are large number OF engines
Which should be tested and that great many
OF them would moi bear the test, Let tho in
spector come over into Steele county and at
tend to his duties.
