the cobs, minus the corn, in the horses
trough. The trap was set again and
the cobs with the wood driven in the
ends were found in his neighbor's barn.

horns and an oyster supper will be given
at Aliens Mills on Thursday evening,

benefit OF the band. All the old and
young, big and little, pretty and homely

as there may be an event in their lives
when the band will be expected to
serenade them.
