"A man in a neigh boring county, could

Among the resolutions passed by the
teachers of Indiana county, at their recent
annual institute was this one: ''That the
t tile Professor belongs only to those per-
sons who fill, or have heretofore I'll led
chairs Of our universities and colleges, and
that We, teachers of Indiana county, will
not use this title in addressing any other
than those persons"
A friend who has popped the ques
ton" several times gave this advice to the
girl: "When the right fellow asks you tc
marry him, don't blush and stare at his
feet Just throw your arms around his
neck, look him full in the face, give him
a hug that will endanger his ribs and tell
him that the CITIzES is the best paper in
the county. After thai any osculatory ex-
ercises will be in order.
That was startling thought thrown
out by neighboring preacher the other

The legislatures of Quebec and Ontario
have passed laws providing, that the mu-
nicipa councils IN cities, towns and incor-
porats villages shall have the power to
pass bylaws for the regulation of the time
after which children shall not be allowed
on the streets at nightfsll without proper
guardianship. The law also rosdes that
these councils shall cause bell to be rung
at or near the time appointed. as a warn
ing, to be called the curfew bell, after
which the children SO required to be at
their homes or off the streets shall be LA
hle to be warned by any police officer to
go home. We venture the prediction that
Main street would not be so crowded iu
the evenings with young boys and girls
who ought to be at home we're they liable
to arrest under the curfew law. 1t would
be vastly to the benefit of the young boys
and girls if such law were enforced in
this town.
Burglars broke into the Freeport plain
ing mill some time last Fridi y night and
blew open the safe. They bored from the

They got nothing for their trouble. The
po WIDER damaged the books some. The
robbers then went TO the siding below
Butler Junction, broke open two freight
cars and took five caddies Of tobacco, snOes
muslin and other articles that can not be
accounted for yet as they belonged to the
Butler branch. Two caddies were con-
signed to DelanO. two to Sarver station
ana most Of the goods belonged to Bntler
merchants. The cars were pat on the sid
ing at . A. NJ, and the robbery must have
been committed soon after, bat no trackt
could be found.
