Mitchell Mail, II: John Titus, OF
Badger township, has 800 acres OF land
and raised 1900 bushels of wheat this
year. Yet we regret to learn that he has
rented his farm for five years, and starts
for Harrison, Ark, to settle in a new
home. The county commissioner IN
session last week, refunded $4,000 Of
the county's indebtedness, N. W. Harris
& Co., of Chicago, took the new
bonds bearing six per cent. interest, pay
able semi-annually, at a premium OF four
per cent. This is a saving Of n per
cent. and a net gift Of $500 to the
county.
| fMontrose Herald, IS: Pedestrians
who are astonished when run down by
bicyclists, do not know, Of course, that a
man weighing $50 pounds and moving at
the rate of 10 feet per second Cor only
about seven miles per hour has a
momentum of 500 pounds, exclusive Of
the weight Of the wheel. A collision
between two wheels, each with a $50
pound rider, spinning at the moderate
rate of 7 miles per hour, would result in
a smash-up with a force Of 5000 pounds.
1t is easy to understand, therefore, why
bicycle accidents are often SO serious,
and why great care should be taken to
avoid them.
