strangers there endeavoring to dispos'
of jewelrY. It was thought that !
was stolen property, but no iewelr.
was stolen here, nothing but watches
having been taken.
An attempt was made TO effect al
entrance into the section house OF
Tuesday evening, but the noise
awakened the inmates and the would
be burglars made their escape in the
darkness. The services OF General
Grand Bounce may have to be called
upon to rid the community of some Of
the crooks.
The subject Of Rev. Thos. Nc.
Cleary's lecture "The Mission OF
Mirth," is one that affords the lecturer
scope for his natural propensities and
win certainly prove entertaining.
The nett proceeds are to be devoted
to q special case where assistance is
urgently needed, and it is hoped the
results will be substantial.
Though some light fingered friends
relieved Mr.. Lund of his entire
stock of watches, Sunday night, he
has received small supply, and is
prepared to sell as cheap as ever.
Give him call at any rate and be
convinced.
Lawns should be well and carefully
covered with o good rich dressing
this fall, as the roots are weak and
dried after the drouth and will winter
kill, unless well protected and
nourished. It is also advisable to do
this work as soon as convenient, and it
should be attended to before the
frosts are SO heavy as to affect the
roots.
Several changes are seen at the
depot, day operator A. B. Wells is off
on a vacation and Dave Kemp, Jr., is
at the key in his place, Grant Garrett
has been promoted and has gone to
Doran. to take charge of the station
at that point, Ed Rutledge is pro-
NOTED to an Office position and
Anthony Dunleavy is hustling freight
and baggage.
During the past week the steam
heating apparatus at the west side
school was tested, and proved to
work well. Of course, as to the tenn
perature possible to maintain in severe
weather, no test could be made, and
the trial was only to ascertain if the
work had been done in a workman
like manner, and according to con-
tract. The mechanical part of the
work was found to be first-class.
In commenting on Tom Conroy's
challenge to L. Kennedy for a race
between Ben Lee and Broncho Bill,
the Enterprise considers it as both
unnecessary and unreasonable to
select the Morris track for the race.
and contends that the Graceville has
given and will always give both
parties as good satisfaction as they
could reasonably expect from any
association.
It is funny to hear unthinking
people talk, and it is queer how absurd
some people are. Now, the county
officers have no more to do with the
management and administration of
the county's business or financial
affairs than has the man in the moon.
The county commissioners run the
county business and manage its
finances; they and they alone control,
direct and outline the method of con-
Quoting affairs. The commissioners
alone are responsible for the manage
ment and direction of the business of
the courtyard to say that this or that
officer runs the county is pure nom
sense.
One of the serious problems parents
have to try and solve is, how
to provide innocent entertainment for
the young. To amuse, interest and
if possible also instruct is, in small
communities, difficult undertaking,
and yet, some provision should be
made for the rising generation, and we
can suggest nothing better and
less Objectionable, than q well con-
Quoted singing school. To dancing
some demur, but to music there are
none who will object, and hence as
elsewhere mentioned, there is an OPP
portunity to secure a competent in
structor and we think it is, perhaps q
duty we all owe to the community at
large, to provide instructive entertain
ment.

Press free from now until after cleo.
