received on subscription, among
them copper cent. For the. want
of something else to do the editor
marked the coin and again it went in
to circulation. The other day we
had the good fortune to receive
a few more small coins on sub
scription, and upon looking them

find that the copper cent which the
editor had marked years before was

went out on Lake Okabena Monday
afternoon to find the deepest place
| in the lake. The city council is
going to place straw and brush on
the ice in the deepest place to keep
it from freezing as deep as it would

center not varying more than 5 inches.
The deepest place found was % in

the ice. Unless something is done

the fish in West Okabena.
