but no better than Sam Garrison does
But neither OF them can cut steak from
neck, or rump to compare with "E. B."

pay the price all the same.
The Free Silver Club Of Sandyston met
Saturday night as advertised. The at
tendance was large and enthusiastic. In
the absence of the regular speaker, James
B. Fuller and Warren A. Van Sickle
made addresses. The issues Of the cam
paign were ably handled, and many apt
Illustrations of the hardships produced
among the agriculturists by the apprecia-
tion of money under a gold standard were
presented. 1t is somewhat surprising to
note how thoroughly our people are read
up ON the silver question. They are indeed
very much in earnest. The club still adds
to its numbers. Next meeting at Layton
when interesting addresses will be deliver
ed by gentlemen from Mlddletown, N. Y.
Ed Smith who had his leg injured by a
falling tree will rattle of his bicycle. Tick
cts for sale now.
The Board Of Education has decided to
build new school house at Halnesville.
A committee consisting of J. w. johnson,
Benz. B. Hursh and Nelson L. Depue were
instructed to select site, and determine
style, and cost of sufficiently good, mod
ern, up-to-date school house. The old
building has proved entirely inadequate in
seating capacity, and as there is not ground
room for an addition on. the present site, TO
build new and on another location is a
ANSSooAeJt AhOAS 40 hOW q oPACAhAd OPppA-
tunity here to build high enough to have a
public hall above the school room. The
additional cost could / am sure, be met by
private subscriptions. 1t would show d
progressive spirit, and result in many
ways to the advantage Of the community.

Corner, by the name of Campbells, killed
a rattler near by the house, and also pi-
lot In the house. Andrew Cation, a neigh
Dor living near the same place, killed q

vicinity.

place has successfully taken the gold cure,
and Is now canvassing for the institution.
It Is currently reported that he has induced
our freeholder to take the cure In the near
future. If so, "Dick" has accomplished a
great good, and the Township should vote
