Attention is called to the notice in an
other column of D. Funkhouser Super
intendent of the Poor, and S. V. R.
Clover, Clerk of Board of o. P, in regard
to bill for collins and outside help for
paupers.
We hope the proper officials will at once
make an examination of the foot bridges
of the town. SJme of them are in very
bad condition, and unless soon repaired
may result in a suit for damages against
the town by some unfortunate victim of
one OF the traps.
Attention is called to the notice given
BY the secretary of the Msssanuttsn
Cemetery Company. Those who have
friends buried in the cemetery will very
cheerfully comply with the request. which
will enable the Secretary to keep a full
history of every one WHO has been, or
shall hereafter be, buried in the cemetery.
The almost daily rains followed by hot
sunshine Of the past ten days or more, is
causing much anxiety in regard to the
large amount of wheat still standing on
shocks in the field. Some persons have
already reported their grain as badly
sprouted, and unless there is let up in
the wet weather very soon big part of
the crop will be damaged.
There were three baptisms at the
Christian church here Monday night.
Two made the confession at the regular

their attendance upon the Sunday School.
They have learned the precious truth
from the wisest of men. who warns the
world to Remember thy Creator IN the
days of thy youth.

tiers to educate will find it to their in
terest to examine the claims of this

Winchester Is a grand old town, and is
exempt from many OF the ills TO which
the people of other less fortunate places

st. this morning, was struck by bicycle.
He was not hurt bnt considerably bruised
about the right leg"
On last Saturday. one of our physicians

A lot of worthless dogs attacked several
calves belonging to Mr.. ". T. Williams
on Tuesday morning about 2 O'Clock
When the persons who we're aroused by
the noise got to the scene they found 9
fine calf dead and the dogs attack ing
another. Several pistol shots were fired
at the dogs, striking one in the fore lel
and probably wounding another. ThiI
country is oyerrun with worthless dogs

shoot every dog found on their premises
unattended By the owner.
