is ashamed to sign his name or be known under
the non de plume of Oriole.
The pops have been so very quiet since the
Aberdeen Kidd was here that a person would

but what he would pop, and even the populists
hens eggs stand pat to their owners. A neigh
Dor not long since had occasion to sc. a setting
and after the hen had set faithfully for six
weeks nothing could be gotten out of them but
pop, pop, pop, and You bet they made as much
noise as any pop.
The village school. which has been under the

picnic was enjoyed at the woods. The little
folks were conveyed to Peterson's woods a little
ways west OF town and a very enjoyable time
was spent in frolic and satisfying the inner
child with the delicacies of a basket picnic
consisting of ice cream, cake. etc. Prof. Law
yer had planned a picnic at Pickerel Lake for
the older scholars and parents, but owing to
the heavy rain Friday night and the Indictment
weather Saturday, it did not materialize.
