We have not had rain for some time, and l want to say that on Second avenue, in front of Me Fadden's shop, you can find . mud hole in the middle of the street that is ten times worse than the alley, which is caused by my sprinkler wagon. I do not.speak of this hole to cast any reflection upon our Mayor, but just merely to show how l was unjustly dealt with, and lots of our best citizens have said so.

OLD TIME FLYcArcHlNG.
Primitive Method of Getting Rid of the
 Troublesome Pests.


 Newton NJ Wilson, living one mile east of town, says a Scottsburg (Ind) communication, has hanging in his barn an interesting keepsake in the shape of a flycatcher It is not so curious in it self as it is ill showing the primitive methods fesorted to by the farmers ill early days to rid themselves of flies. It Is simply two smooth walnut boards, perhaps 30 by 12 inches, beveled at one end and fastened together by two whang cords strung through matched holes.
 In the antebellum days people never thought of keeping flies out of the house; the problem was to dispose of them as they swarmed through the rooms, making life miserable generally In fact, the use of netting to prevent their ingress is of comparatively recent origin, the invention of this much need ed article dating back only 15 or 20 years
 As everybody knows, flies are exeep- tionally thick ill farmhouses, even where screens are used, and when they are not they are almost intolerable. In the olden days the method most com lnonly employed in the country to de- stroy the troublesome fly was the use of such instruments as the one described above The boards were boveled and hung in such manner that by their weight they separated at the bottom, and thus hung in m inverted Y shape. To attract the flies they were smeared with molasses on the inner surface.
 Thus prepared, they were suspended in convenient places about the house in kitchen, hallway, porch, which gen eral1y served as the summer dining place, and especially in passagoways. It was common duty of every member of the household when passing one of those eatchers to clap the boards togeth- CT, thus mashing the flies which had collected thereon Tho cook clapped them in the kitchen, the hands as they passed to and from the house at meal times did likewise, the whole household clapped them together hundreds of times a day, and thousands of pestiferops flies met their doom St Louis Republic.
