Edward Barber has fenced the
Cushing farm, south Of his homestead,
and III. =. Klmmel has bought and will
fence the farm Immediately south Of
the townsite. This will make change
in the Blunt road, requiring people to
first go east to the section line and
then south to G.. w. Evert's farm.
Now that the snow has disappear
ed and the windy season of the year
arrived 1t might not be out of place
for the WATcHMAN to again admonish
the people to be very careful about
setting fires. See TO it that Sully coun-
ty has no prairie fires this spring.
And the hat came back. During
the heavy wind of Tuesday night of
last week W. N. Meloon's fine Stetson
hat was blown off his head and depart
ed southeast on the double-quick in
the dark for parts unknown, and
Walter, as is his custom under such
circumstances, bid it adieu, and resur-
rected his winter cap for a covering to
his upper story. There is nothing
very strange in the above, but on Sat
urday when brisk wind was blowing
from the southeast Walter discovered
black object rushing toward town
with the tumble weeds, and chat" was
the first thing he thought of, so he
braced himself for chase and waited
it's arrival. On running 1T down he
found it to be the Identical hat that
had left him four days previous, in
good condition. That winter cap has
been hung on peg.
