struck in large quantities in the well
on Nels Nelson's farm, four miles
north, this evening at four O'Clock.

One of the questions the common
school graduates will be called upon
to answer is this: ."Name and locate
three kinds of joints" We submit
that this is not fair question to the
pupils who live in communities where
the law Is oheyed and where they
don't have any joints.
]. L. Tredway, of the Allen Center
Stock Farm, read what the REGIS
TER said about Lawrence Wheeler,
and he liked the boys grit so well
that he made him present of horse
for his oil wagon. Treatment like
that is what boy gets for being a
rustler and not loafer.
Skill in the manufacture ofsorghum
syrup is just as necessary as good
machinery. Mr.. Claiborne has secur-
ed the services of the Townsend
Brothers to take charge of that part
of his Factory this year, and the re-
putation they have established is
sufficient guarantee that the best pos
sible results will be obtained.

Florence Bulletin: Lawrence
Wheeler, a twelve year old lad Of leila
pays the house rent for his family and
clothes himself. He does it by hust-
ling. A boy who possesses that quail
ty is all right. He will always get
along, if the financial system is out of
gear and the country going to the
dogs.
Down in NeoshO county, under a
law passed by the Legislature in 1893,
the farmers have constructed a great
many miles of levees to prevent the
NeoshO river from flooding the bot
tom lands, and the result has been
most satisfactory. Wouldn't it be a
good investment for some of our river
bottom farmers to do this same thing?
The Cooperative gas well broke
loose again the other day, and has
been roaring away like all possessed
ever since. The packer seems to have
given way, but whether from the
force Of the pressure upon it, or from
some other cause nobody knows. 1t
is one of those accidents that no fore
sight seems able to prevent, and
every body laments the great waste
of gas that it has Occasioned. A new
expected to have it put in yesterday.
