The Eagle arises to thank Mr.. John
Findley with capital m, if you please)
for sack OF the finest potatoes we have
seen this season. Theic were only twen-
ty.fve potatoes in the sack and it was
just as full as we ever were-running over.
The scarlet fever scare is about over,
and no further danger is apprehended.
The scourge was confined to the premises
in which it originally manifested itself,
no new cases have developed and of the
children who were afflicted two died and
the other has entirely recovered. Every
precaution was taken to prevent it's
spread, and they have proven successful.
Those in the country, therefore, who have
remained away on account OF it, may now
come and go at pleasure and with no feel
ings OF uneasiness whatever.

because it is called Liver

When the case was first called before Judge
