The GLonE 10 under lasting obligations
to Llewellyn Fl. Hale Of Pine creek for a
box OF az toothsome straw berries as ever
we're permitted 70 90 down our editorial
throat. 1t 10 a pretty old joke, but a
fellow really does wish, while eating
such luscious berries, that his neck were
as long as rake-handle, so he could
taste them for quarter of an hour as
they 90 down. Thanks, Mr.. Hale.

Az predicted by this paper, the ball at

successful event OF the kind given here

kind enjoyed here for years. The music
was furnished by S. r. Shut, lead vio-
lin; Bob Robinson, base viol. and his
sister. Mrs. ID. s. Flynn. organist. Mrs.
Maddox furnished very fine supper,
and all who we're ut the ball say it was
the best they ever attended at Condor.
Messrs. H. X. Ramsay and ]. B.
Simth, of the Mayville section, inform
us that there is small bug, called wheat
aphis, on the wheat this year in that
vicinity. They think that the quickest
way TO exterminate them is for the
GLoBn 10 use its influence in denonncine
them, as it appears that nothing else
will reach them. They say these bugs
do not appear to be doing any injury "a
the wheat, but stil they would rather
not have them there. We learn from
our exchanges that wheat all over the
state is covered with this pest. Some
call it the Hessian fly.
A row occurred in town Sunday last, in
which one OF the participants tthe first

again. The public are at loss to know
why no arrests were made and the cit,
